I've flown out to the Santa Fe area to help friends open Madrid General, a pop-up shop for the holiday season, which will be a fully realized shop & gallery in the Spring. The stars in the desert are limitless. So is the silence. The hum of electricity and plumbing seem amplified in the dense quiet… Continue reading A trip to the desert
From January; a trip to Baltimore. (BUS POETRY!) Through the bus window, out of New York. Barren scores of urban cliffs— cloaked in winter trees (their unexpected softness, out-of-focus)— look like lost castles through spectacles designed for looking at things close-to. Dried drops on the wide panes from another rain lend the highway a cold… Continue reading Been awhile.
An overabundance of action and sunlight: lizzie and luna in kelley's car The waiting line on 33rd and 7th Avenue on Work Island is an object lesson in chaos; a spectacle to be avoided at all costs if you're not there to board the Bolt Bus. As if that weren't enough, the bus to Baltimore… Continue reading In which I travel to Baltimore and meet Luna, then to Adamstown to collect old things
This is by request for TL, Sabine and Leddy. Happy Birthday Leddy! (Click on map to see in new window- then click to enlarge and scroll...) (Map by Sabine)
These are some wonderful small cabinet card photos I picked up in Utrecht in a little store specializing in picture post cards and other ephemera. The top image shows the gilt studio information for the photographer– one of the loveliest I've seen. It's on the back of the first photo card, the oval, which is… Continue reading treasures
Tired. (still on GMT.) Very smooth traveling, though-- actually a pleasant plane trip and only seven hours to get back. Here's another drawing, for now, from the trip book. It's of part of the vast and winding interior of The Sheep Heid Inn in Duddingston, Edinburgh (we did not play skittles, alas) on the far… Continue reading Home from abroad
Amsterdam; the Westerkirk in the background. Edinburgh; Dean Village along the Water of Leith Well I thought I might have been better about adding things here whilst traveling, as I brought my laptop, but no, not really. The days are getting short though, and thoughts of the work waiting at home are beginning to creep… Continue reading travels
Ben and I arrived yesterday to a sunny, warm day and did much walking and wandering (after a nap at Wouter & Brandon's house, as we were neither of us able ot sleep a wink on the plane. I wanted to put some photos up from our first day, and just went to retrieve the… Continue reading amsterdam
That is, the North Fork (of Long Island). Miscellaneous sketches from a weekend away, locally. Ben; the posse at delicious dinner table (it was a weekend of good foodie chefs in the house); and finally a random sketch began on Saturday evening, but finally finished this evening (at TWB in Exile's first meeting). None of… Continue reading a weekend on the upper tine
(Or Bacchanal on the rainy day) Here is a pencil drawing I did this evening of the wine store/bar in Bywater that Ben and I fell in love with. The place was at the ass-end of Chartres Street, in an Industrial/residential milieu that definitely grabbed our Brooklyn-based minds (Think Gowanus area). This patchwork-quilt of a… Continue reading this corner of Bywater
