GOOD NEWS FROM TEXAS -- REUNION | The Dallas Review

I got a great surprise on snail mail this past week, the Texas based journal Reunion | The Dallas Review, a nice "perfect bound" book that features artists working/ed in Texas. Two of my friends, Jenn Kahn and Logan Caldbeck, and myself have our work published in the journal.

The journal features the Dirt/Gold installation titled Au. More on Au here.

Thanks to Leigh Arnold, Art Editor of the publication.

I won't get tired of thanking Aurora Tang for the fabulous photographs she took of Au, the Gold/Dirt installation at the Masonic Lodge in Marfa, TX.

Also, again, thanks to Ballroom Marfa for providing the space + Jeff Fort & Marion Barthelme (Masonic Lodge owner), David Walker (provided the dirt), Dennis Dickinson, Daniel Szwaczkowski (provided the gold nugget) and Rob Crowley.

NAKED INTERIORS (& EXTERIORS TOO) - WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT IT'S THERE

..............................................................................

Two recent self-initiated projects I worked on in the past few weeks:

Cabin Fever

During Hurricane Irene, I stayed in my Bushwick apartment for two long days, drinking coffee, reading, writing, and taking photos. This is what came out of that over-caffeinated experience.

134 Majestic

On memorial day weekend I had the opportunity of taking a trip Upstate, to a hidden cabin near the famous town of Monticello, NY. I had more coffee and did more reading and writing than usual, but this time I also enjoyed some outdoor exploration. This place is magical, is 134 Majestic!

Hand lettering was produced for the Majestic logo.

NIP TUCK -- ART & LAW RESIDENCY WEBSITE REDESIGN

After launching the Art & Law Residency website back in May, we realized it was a problematic design. What did I learn, do not try to mimic print on web design, not even a little. Most of the times you have to do some self criticism.

So I decided to redesign the website, and, I can say now, it looks a lot better! Let me know what you think!

FROM THE DESK OF -- 'BRANDSLATION'

The Project House presents a new series: Brandslation
An exploration of commercial brands translated to my native language!

Keep posted for more examples of Brandslation

Ongoing project of words and images triggered by a collection of happenings in a geographical setting

NEW LIGHT -- COLOR & COLORLESS

A few images from recent concerts in Brooklyn. I concentrated on light before sound, since it's faster.

TAKEN FROM THE TOP -- FLY TYPE

Encounter these all the time while looking for addresses so I decided to make it a little game! The one that get's this first will receive a surprise on the mail! Send me the answer (word; hint: "help") along with your physical address, this one is pretty easy!

If you are curious, this is a satellite view of the Downtown area in El Paso, TX.

SERENDIPITY -- COPIED/PROCESSED/TRANSFERED

Working recently on a project, and while transferring files from one storage device to another , some of the images I was using curiously got distorted. The cause: A broken flash drive, but I call it serendipity!

NEW WEBSITE -- FASHION LAW FOR LAWYERS

We just launched the brand new website for Fashion Law for Lawyers, a new program by Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts (VLA). Lot's of exiting things happening at VLA this summer-fall!

Custom hand lettering on the mark for the program and Times New Roman on the website.
I will post more about the identity and the process for this project later.
