I really wanted to finish her by christmas, but I didn't wear my mask the whole time and the chalk dust tore my throat up. Wear your mask kids!! I was sick for a week and couldn't ever bear to look at her without feeling ill.

more pattern

This takes a while. I'm outlining the pattern and manipulating it according to the movement of the fabric. Then I'll fill it in according to value

Washing Oprah

Oprah was looking a little frumpy and sad, so it was time for upkeep. I took apart other

sculptures and grabbed extra cotton and stuffed her tight again.

Then it was time for a bath.

Then it was time for dinner. yumm

More RabbitsI haven't been on such a tangent since Britney shaved her head, but in the ongoing

saga of my depicting rabbits come these images from Milan. Apparently, the airport

in Milan has always retained a population of hares but recently, because of an increase

in population, they have been (or were) inhabiting and breeding on the runways, disrupting

flight departures and endangering landings.

Good for you hares.

The result is a collection of images of uniformed guards and police rounding up these animals, catching them and locking them up. The poor animals are only trying to live their lives on

their land freely and without interference from greater powers. I immediately thought back to my silverpoints of Tehranians clashing with their infringing bullies in uniform.

So, I have begun combining the imagery.

There are more to come. You're going to love this, just love it...

Hearts in Space

kissmypatriarchy@gmail.com (5ashart) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:19:00 +0000

The San Francisco General Hospital FoundationThe Hearts In San Francisco Project is an art benefit for San Francisco General that is coming around again in 2009. I decided that the best thing to paint on a 5' fiberglass heart is,(what else?) FLYING RABBITS!!

Blue patterned clouds intricately decorate the background, or, "backsky" if you prefer filled with loads of happy, playful, flying bunnies.

This is my proposal rendering. It is a juried entry. I would love to see this completed. I think it would make you laugh out loud. Pick me.. pick me.. pick me.. We'll see...

New Silverpoints

I don't really have a history of "political art" but certain images of Iranian protestors

as well as the movement itself has recently inspired me. There is a certain sense of choreography and grace within these figurations- granted, I have manipulated them- but

that combined with implied violence and agression is passionate, artful and moving.

It's not often that you'll see photos of myself on the blog so don't get too used to it. I thought maybe graduating from SFAI with my MFA was an occasion worth showing my face for.

Yes, i couldn't bother with shoes... Let's see what's next.

My MFA
I recently graduated from San Francisco Art Institute with a Master of Fine Arts. These are two shots of the actual show and the preparation of my space in the Herbst Pavillion at Fort Mason.
Im not sure who the man is I am talking to in the first photo, but thanks to Donnie who is helping me paint, Colby for sharing the photo, and to Lola for keeping us company.
