fun with camerabag

my latest iphone webapp: camerabag. it's basically fun filters that you can apply to any pics you take with your iphone, or even photos you already have. here is a shot from the canko loft opening (the big art exhibit in conjunction with the JC studio tour):



and here's infrared papi lickin his chops:


and, mysterious man in our living room wearing my favorite hat:

p.s. i found out that the little woodblock i painted went for $250 at the auction in wellfleet - very exciting!!
:)

painting for woodfleet project

this is a little painting i did for a charity auction that my friend katie organizes every year in cape cod during oysterfest. she gives out 5 1/2" inch long pieces of 2 x 6 lumber to anyone who'd like to participate, to work them in any creative way they please. in the spirit of cape cod i decided to stick with a watery theme and use another pic from our trip to newport rhode island this last summer.

papi was also a big hit on the tour. so here he is - some sketches in my sketchbook from a couple years ago.

Artists Studio Tour weekend

this weekend was the Jersey City open studio tour. it was a lot of fun and a great success! we met lots of enthusiastic art lovers from both sides of the river, as well as some of our really cool neighbors in JC, and i got great feedback and interest in my work. here are some pics of the little studio all set up. :)

Newport

i just got around to developing a roll of film i took in rhode island this summer. lots of good shots of this little family of geese.

it's been a while, but it's time to get the blog back up to speed. starting today, i'd like to bring the "daily" back into "thedailywarbler" and try to post something monday through friday, either art-related or just little daily musings.

for now, here are the paintings i did this summer for german artist sven johne for you to see. sven is a conceptual/installation/journalistic/photographic artist working in leipzig, and as some of you know he commissioned me to do 7 portraits for part of his upcoming exhibition. this component of the exhibition involves the last lighthouse keepers in germany. he gave me some photos of the actual individuals for reference, but it wasn't important to get a specific likeness, and for the most part the portraits are invented. sven was more concerned that the facial expressions convey a specific feeling. because these guys (and one lady) are basically the end of a line, he wanted me to push the expressions to varying degrees of pride, loneliness or sadness.

the exhibition opens in berlin in november; he'll be sending me images from the exhibition and i'll be sure to post them here.
