THE BAD NEWS

TemporaryGallery is no more. Your probably thinking, 'Didn't it just open?' The answer is yes, but I guess the financial backer decided he wanted a gallery that focuses on Contemporary Chinese Artwork....it's a total 360. The strange part is that I guess all this went into effect the week that Insinuation opened (the show that I'm in) So last week I went to pick up my artwork and there was a new show with a bunch of work on Chairman Mao...it was the twilight zone.

Here's the dope part...I'm not exclusively represented anymore so if I decide to show my work I can do it anywhere. Here's the 'not dope' part, I don't really like showing at galleries so I won't be persueing that for now...but if yer a gallery and think you'd like to sell my artwork, I have a ton, I just won't be creating new work for wall.

HANNAH HOCH DA DA DAAAA

Euro fever has taken over here at junkprints. While I was street vending last weekend. A fine gentleman told me that my work reminded him of Hannah Hoch! Usually it sucks for anyone to tell ya that yer work reminds them of someone elses, except for in this case. Hannah Hoch is one one of my favorite artists. She's a German artist who helped shape the Dada movement and one of the foremothers of photomontage as a form of art. That's not all folks, during the whole Nazi reign she was one of the few major artists of her time and locale that didn't particite in all the government commissioned propaganda.

DOUBLE TIME BEHIND takes on PARIS

When I was teenager I had this nickname, Double Time Behind. It's a double entendre (I've always wanted to use that phrase on my blog). I was always late and had 2 times the behind of a normal person. I'd like to think that I've outgrown both of those attributes....but me posting this about the new (well new to me) Paris issue of XLR8R proves that I can still be a bit late on things. Any hoot, Something about France is calling me...pls see the signs

1.Use to wear my hair in French Twist when I was 12
2. Luv CocoRosie.
3. New Parisian MySpace friend who looks like the dude from Gym Class heroes...ooh laa lah
4. Really love The GO! Team I know they aren't french but they were in the XLR8R French issue
5. My bestie is obsessed w/ all things french...she's east African...so it's pretty strange that she pretends to be Parisian
6. Been following the career of illustrator extraordinaire Fafi before Le Sport Sac and addidas had even been born!
7. Am the president of Mathieu "Ndeur" Missianen's fan club
8. Stopped shaving my arm pits...tried to ditch deodorant, but that's too French for me...everyone has their limits
9. Nina Simone got back on her feet on the streets of Paris is 1978
10. To the point...XLR8R just did an ode to Paris...I luv it!

Well, Tu che, Escargot, Bonjour, Merde, Merci and all things French
Signing off-The dooky

SUPER CUTE!
