Life is Sweet - Mike Leigh
I can't believe this movie is 17 years old.
Haven't seen it in a long time, but it remains a favorite.

Panorama Show / Another Freakin' Building
Jordin Isip Invited me to participate in the Panorama Show at
the Johnathan Levine Gallery. All the artists were given a 5x7
panel of wood to create a picture. The only requirement was that
a horizontal line 1.75 inches from the bottom had to be a part of the art.
All the art is then lined up end to end.
Since the show was at a gallery in New York, I decided to
paint a New York gallery. I'm trying to become the Thomas Kinkade
of cinder block buildings.

Rupert
The pants, the jacket tucked into the pants,
the hand gestures, the tinted glasses.
Can you put an age on him? 25? 55?
Like watching your Dad in a band.

James Howard Kunstler
James Howard Kunstler is great to listen to. I first saw him in the documentary "The End of Suburbia" Even if you think his ideas on peak oil are a little extreme, he's very funny to listen to.
He has a very good weekly podcast in which he talks for twenty minutes on a specific subject, you can find it here
here is his website
He's also a painter

New York Times
For the New York Times over the weekend. For a story about the Tony award nominees sharing a feel good quality, taking tough topics and giving them an easy to swallow/made for TV feel. I really wanted to avoid doing a visual that plays off all the usual Broadway cliches, curtains, lights, stages...etc....I took some of the writers words, and turned it into a soothing ointment.

Free Music : Chenard Walcker
I have been enjoying Chenard Walcker's music lately. Completely made from sampled/collaged music.Very high quality, and free!
Here is the link to music.
One of my favorites
Info from the site:
"Chenard Walcker is a French samplecore artist layering large slabs of pop music, obscure funk, soundtracks, etc. The site offers many albums worth of material as free downloads, as an anti-copyright stance. He also publishes the Free Sample Zone, which is all his material under several monikers...."
Now the sad news:
Chenard Walker a friend of the online music world, is slowly recovering from a diabetic coma. His brother reports that he is not physically suffering. He fell into the coma in September, and is now working on speech development and object differentiation( 2006 )
