studio evolving

Hello. This is a photo that was copied onto cnavas by this guy that is in the show that I am in at LTV Station. It is a horrible idea in theory, to me anyway. This guy makes it work. First of all they are wrapped around stretcher bars like paintings and the image continues around the stretcher bar so they have an object quality. They look like cheezy hyper-realist paintings in a GREAT way. I know this would offend this photographer but He will not be reading this so I will not stress. His prices are reasonable and I would love one. Maybe He would be interested in a trade. This image soed no justice to the original, they are really amazing. The more I think of them the more I would love all of them. CRAZY.

I am making a new surface to work on in the studio and realizing that I need one more which will be five 96"x96" work spaces. Ok maybe it is excessive but What the hell it's only plywood and $125.00 delivered. I have to think of the big picture which is this will allow me to work more and have more prepped spaces which may make for more continuity. I think it is the right way to go. This new one I made with MDF and that shit is heavy. I can't even estimate what the weight is but if it fell on me and I was alone finding me would not be a pretty sight. So this time I am waiting for John's assistance instead of plowing ahead doing it and scaring the shit out of myself.

I have some help with PR regarding The High Line Studio Tour. The person that has assisted us with the stores is doing some work for me and hse is amazing. She is talkng about getting me interviewed. I should be horrified but I've been to the rodeo and it will be what it will be.

Speaking of which I am listening to Paton Miller on the radio. He is a painter out here and it is a program aobut what music differnet artists listen to. I hate this guys taste in music already. This selection is "It's a Hard Knock Life" from "Annie" the rap ewrsion with the kids whining the chorus. Really irritating. Anyway, back to Paton, really at home on the radio, I have to check out his work after listening to him.

new canvas

Hello. www.highlineopenstudios09.org I received an email with a link to the tour map and I am there with what seems to be many others so it seems there will be some traffic in my hood. Very excited.

This is a photo of one of my friends.


My order of canvas came in the mail today so I am really preparing the studio for new work. Not rushing into anything the prepping begins.

Actively trying to sublet my apartment for November, in contact with three people who seem serious.

What I failed to mention....

yesterday...... www.markperry.org

thank you very much.

Hello. Was that I checked technorati on a whim and there were 2 comments, one from this guy from earlyforest.com telling everyone to check out my site for some good painting. That was an amazing thing to discover.

This is a smallish painting, 12"x16" approx. by Madeline Meehan a woman that is in the show that I am in at LTV Station in East Hampton. It is a very strong painting. Speaking of painting I need to get to the studio.

Hey check this out: www.kiptonart.com

Check this out. www.earlyforest.com I called a guy from this company last winter while preparing a painting job. The job was to make paintings of trees native to Canada, one for each conference room, which are named after the trees. So I called to get permission to use the photo, the guy that I spoke with was very positive and it was a nice experience and there photos of trees were beautiful.... So I'm looking at my blog and technorati had some message that I've never noticed and I clicked on it to see this message from this guy from earlyforest.com telling the reader to check out my site for some good painting. That means something is working in the communication...I am very happy.


Hello. I am on this new site that I am very excited about. It is another way of linking up and the site is great and user-friendly. Check it out, artist or not, it's worth looking at.

This is a new painting called "Red Landscape 1". How original....anyway it is 40"x52" very free and the direction I plan to go with painting. Throw the $hit on there, out there, up there.

I love my blog, who knew I would be so crazy about it. Of course it makes perfect sense because it's about me, for me, and by me. I have the feeling that I will be back......tonight. I am excited about a cup of coffee and visiting my studio.

I've started listing on craigslist for my apartment, to sublet after November 1st. Big Wup you say.... I'm working on another 84"x84" painting. A friend that I have been seeing quite a bit of lately talking about painting, art, rather He talks and I listen, offering a thought when I can (get a word in). He is wise and told me that I must make more large paintings because to not do so would be denying the world of my vision. How the %&#* can I argue with that. Seriously though I was quite touched and I plan on doing just that as I love the scale and they can be rolled up and stored in the meantime. This friend Haim Mizrahi and I met two years + ago and He has helped me to get the work out there. He is a tireless artist and new Daddy. So very busy and He gives me a lot of his time. A good friend. www.haimmizrahi.com

My Sister's close friend who grew up in Montauk was visiting with Her sister (she lives in London) in Montauk, a sort of yearly reunion. Anyway, they came to my show over the weekend and it was very nice to meet them out in my setting. I was reminded that my sister gave Her one of my paintings for he last birthday, a view of Montauk, the ocean meeting the shore. How nice to make someone so happy with something that I have created.....I love my sister so much. Are you out there reading??? She is probably the only one who checks in with my blog. She is the best. Actually I am very lucky regarding family - I need to be in better contact with our Mom who turns eighty this October.

We are having a special party for her after my weekend studio tour. Get this, I postponed the party for this tour. Is that the most self centered thing you've ever heard?? I know it is but I had to do it and luckily the following weekend didn't really matter to most of the people involved. I realize that what I am doing, making a career as a painter is not the monumental thing that it used to be. Am I making money? No but I have to believe that there will be a time when I will consistently sell some paintings. If I persist somethings gotta give.

My show has been extended a week, Amazing

Hello. Yes I called to find out when I could take my show down today and James Kennedy told me that they decided to keep it up another week, Sunday September 27th. www.surfacelibrary.com
