The Red Derby

One of my favorite bars in DC is The Red Derby.
Mostly because it's red, a giant chalkboard to draw, unjuanted lives close and the people are nice.
This is what i drew tonight.

SMOG.

BABY BABY BABY

Another friend of mine, Dreco, just had a BABY!

Please allow me to introduce you all to Trajan.

Since you probably don't know Dreco, let me explain that he is basically one huge muscle fronting as a human. If you take a closer look at the forearms of Trajan, you can see that he already lifts dumbbells and only eats spinach. How cute is this baby!

All this baby having lead me to making an Aiyden painting. I can't stop with the babies.

RELAX gets a new bunny

I went shopping on 14th st again today. I hit all the antique shops. At Miss. Pixie's I bought Relax this little bunny.

That is also a cotton ball holder.

I knew she'd love it, and she did!

MINI VINYL ART SHOW HERE

Today I collected more finished records from peeps participating in the Vinyl art show- part of the Hip Hop Theater Festival.
I don't want to give too much away, but there are 14 finished records hanging on my wall right now. It's like a mini vinyl show right here at the corcoran factory.

UNJUANTED


I've been on an art buying spree. Today I went and bought the erotic art print from the back room at Capitol Hemp, that i've been dreaming of since I saw it. This is the most modest print offered. It was this or two fairies 69ing in flight. You could see tongue. I liked the paris feel of this one and the checkered floor. I want to frame it and put it in my kitchen.

Online shopping

Went to watch the Spain /Russia game at UNJUANTED's house. Checked up on my shark ONYX, who we now know is a Iridescent Shark Catfish. At one point I looked up and there were all his records, finished, hanging on the wall. I was so excited. Then later on in the evening OWEL surprises us with this record and his newest most greatest stencil.

Today I got paid for a project and so I went shopping online for all the things I've been online stalking.
1. my first vacuum cleaner.
2. ordered two panda goldfish from DC PETCO.
3. a kit cat clock. because my friend doo doo has one and he won't let me steal it.
4. a coffee pot lamp by Minda Merinsky (mindasart.etsy.com)
5. a bottle of BITCH wine for HIP. Because I saw it two weeks ago and thought of her and now I can buy it for her.

Spain won three nothing. It was like Russia didn't even show up to play.

POP, I'd say I'm a POP artist...no wait, I mean...

On Sunday I met with Brandon Bloch at ArtWhino for an online and cable tv channel
(www.current.com). Brandon had requested to interview some local
artists for a series the station is doing.

This is for a series on emerging artists for Current TV (an online and
cable tv channel - www.current.com ). The
one-minute segments will be shown throughout the day on Current TV and
will profile an emerging artist... like yourself. The segment will
feature an interview of you talking about your work, it'll show three
pieces of your artwork, and then direct viewers to a website where
the work is available to view and purchase... with prices of about $500
or less.

Here's me, off to the National Harbor for my first Interview!

On the way I got to see this really big chair out in SE that I've wanted to see forever!

Plus the recently moved Awakening sculpture.

IN THE CRAB WORLD-

40 bucks at petco buys a crab a pretty sweet little hermit condo. No more tupperwear container as a home for Kaka. Training began today!

My purchase from Artomatic arrives today!

Today I received the piece of art that I bought at Artomatic. I tried to buy two of his pieces, but the other one i wanted was already sold. It was a simple drawing of a bed. I loved Vincent's drawings. I'm so happy to have a new piece of art in my house.

It's entitled, Let It Go Already.

PLUS! PLUS! PLUS!
RELAX and I decided to go down to Ocean City for the day and get some sun. I also got my newest pet- a hermit crab named Kaka.

Kaka is from Brazil and plays for AC Milan.

This is where Shark Attack 2008 begins to become a reality.

SHARK ATTACK! 2008 began as a napkin narrative of sorts. It was a story board of a one night event. A little napkin book. People wear hoodies that are pulled up and have shark like things on the hoods- eyes, teeth, blood maybe...etc. The event is a one night art show. there should be a big glass window in the front of the building. photos can only be taken from outside through the glass. all the art work inside will be of sharks or about sharks, sharks life's etc. everyone inside will have to wear their hoodies up. the event was going to be called SHARK ATTACK! 2008. fishbowl type feel.

THEN it turned into DECOY announcing the prediction of- There will be more shark attacks reported this year than in other recent years. So far there have been two major shark attacks this year.

THEN while getting more work on my arm, YAS asks me if i would like to keep his shark, ONYX, while he travels this year. It was all coming together! So we set up UNJUANTED's 90 gallon tank and welcomed ONYX into the club.

THEN while in OC i decided to buy this little hermit crab that was painted with a red soccer ball on his shell. The lady informed me that I would need to buy a second shell that was a little larger for him to grow into. When I looked down there was a basket full of shells painted like...you'll never guess!

Could it get more awesome?
