Sadly, Los CarLos will not be joining us for the evening.
So once again I’m on the look out for a musical act.
If you know anyone who might be interested in playing
at an art showing in a small hampden row house, packed
full of weirdos… then send em my way.

One thing – I saw Ari Schenck at Common Ground today, and before I knew it I was asking him to play at the show – he said sure. So now we’ve got a little Human Conduct Presents: Ari Schenck Style to look forward too.

ANOTHER NOTHER UPDATE!

Collin Hatton will be showing a few paintings with the rest of the crowd – exciting, jubilant, contrasting – wow! And also Sine (Violin) will be joining Colin Campbell (Cello) to make for classical explorations and some new things.

Heres a painting I’ve been working on, on the side of my “squares” project. This one is a quasi-tribute to Marla Olmstead, the famous (or infamous?) painter born in 2000. Its two canvases stretched and then connected, the white space at the bottom-right is actually nothing.

“The Northern Lights Will Never Reach Kentucky”

Tribute to Marla - “The Northern Lights Will Never Reach Kentucky”

I find the Marla Olmstead case quite extraordinary. A child’s innocent creation, made into a real something by the coaching and adjustments of her father – both father and daughter, together, the perfect portrait of an artist. Innocence and Experience, working together, butting heads, and in the end, creating something… whether or not that thing is good or bad, interesting or passe… I think such a genuine example of artistic creativity is beautiful, and seeing the output of such a process… whew. yes.

sorry my posts are few and far between. I do have to paint these things – that takes a while. And then I don’t own a digital camera so… that makes things harder. But thanks to Daniel Shea, he took all the squared painting shots, the image above, and hes also working on my senior thesis paintings as we speak, thanks buddy, I owe you a beer or four… no headbutts this time, f’real.

oh that reminds me, I’m about to update the square painting post, so look for a newish painting in there.
