The guys
I got this pic from Max and my brother at a football game in Berkeley last night. It makes the Bay Area look like Iceland.
Aliens 'n other stuff.

While hanging out with my friends at the school cafe this week, Michael walked in, and we all asked him about his coffee cup. Not in that oh my god. look at your coffee cup sort of way, and not in the hey, what's with the mondo sculpture possibly blocking your options of drinking the coffee way. It was simply, "what's on your cup?"
Every human being is an artist, a freedom being, called to participate in transforming and reshaping the conditions, thinking and structures that shape and condition our lives.
A car on fire. I saw this on Mission Street today, when I was going down into the subway.
Today we ventured to Oakland in the afternoon, for some delicious apple butter. Temescal Amity Works held an event which included some free apple butter, persimmons and a drawing show (Which included one of my drawings).
The Temescal Amity Works is a community art project that facilitates and documents the exchange of backyard produce, conversation, and collective biography within the Temescal Neighborhood. It s created by Susanne Cockrell and Ted Purves in collaboration with the Temescal Merchants Association.
Over the next year, we are maintaining a storefront just off Telegraph Avenue and a community crop sharing program called The Big Backyard. We are also planning the production of neighborhood talks, gatherings and an ongoing series of printed materials-including profiles of neighbors, free postcards, and a community map. These publications will be available in local businesses throughout the year, as well as at our storefront.
We recently had our friend Andrew visiting from London. While he was here, Max bought these plastic vulcan ears. They are far too small for adult ears, but this did not stop the guys...
I have been in Los Angeles with 74 other CCA affiliates the last few days. I have seen more art than my brain can probably handle, and I definitely forgot about the huge divide that exists within SoCal and NoCal culture. I am definitely not hip.
I seem to know all these gorgeous children right now in my life!!
On my journey to the DMV a few weeks ago, I came across this car. The photos don't do it justice - it really was unreal!
Day trip to Napa with our friend Andrew.
School is very busy. Much busier than I remember last year. And blogging something of substance this week was almost impossible. AA Bronson lectured, and did a studio visit with me for Glen Helfand's Cross-Disciplinary seminar. And just when I feel like the week is slowing down, I suddenly remember that there is German class every Saturday morning until 1.15pm.
