let them eat cake!

I've been saying for about a week that tomorow I would post some new art..
well tomorow turned into today and here we are!
(to prove that I dont spend all my time at the bar.. or watching weeds...)

I havent managed to take good photos of my stuff and its sort of bothering me.. then again, it'll do.
landed the SOUNDS FROM MICTLAN VOL 2 today and it was like christmas! All the bands Ive been looking for are on it!
I was looking on ebay (expensive!! ) and my local record shop (even more expensive cause its all imports) and was going to resort to waiting it out till march and just get them in mexico city.. but now at least ive got something other than youtube to tide me over :D

octoberfest

A good way to kick off the fall season and to end the summer!! (not that summer's going anywhere, end of october and were still breaking 80 degree weather here.)
This has by far been the most unproductive sunday ever.. except for cooking..
this is why they invented TOMOROW.
to do all those things you didnt do today.

in spring....

driving from SF to louiiiiiiiisiiiana.
Going through monument valley (amazing)

I'm in bed with my cat after getting trashed at the MOJOMATIC last night...
were talkin' about doing sunday afternoon jumblesales records and coctails there.. more on that later..

im gonna go back to listening to king khan and figuring out how to change my appartment around..

cough cough

A little bit sick.. all i wanna do is curl up in bed and listen to sabbath and eat thai chicken soup with a big fat dose of chilly peppers.
Been working hard though! So thats what counts.



and I have 3 new paintings to photograph and post, well, one is in two peices. dyptich.

I got my flight booked to go to the states.
Adventures ahoy! I can feel it that its going to be epic and inspiring (everything.. when you let it, can be, epic and inspiring..)
but I feel something special is waiting there.

Im sick but im going to drag my sick butt to the mojomatic and see some live bands tonight, maybe it will scare off the virus!

two is better than one?

I woke up today feeling so strange..
a day to stay in bed and roll cigarettes and push my blankets around with my feet...
needless to say I did NOT touch a paintbrush today (I do have all night.)

Theres a few reasons for this mood.
this is supposed to be a journal and yet I dont want to blow my feelings in the air on this one.

so I leave you with this.



and until later.

have love....will travel

Lately when i actually TUNE in to what I'm listening to... theyre all songs about love, traveling, or love AND traveling.
Right now its super sleazy version of route 66 played by some skeezy garage band.. its on WILD WILD sounds #2 on the garage punk podcasts.

anyway.
yesterday:



Today I'm feeling a little stuck, a little bit lazy and a bit cozy.. maybe I'll write.
speaking of writing.. its been AGES since Ive seen my red book...
that red book has my lil heart written through 89 pages of drawings and rants and tiny details..

Interesting theory shared with my friend Sylvain over a drink the other night..
when we are in relationships, both of us are reproached the fact that when something is wrong, like a little thing thats annoying, we dont go right out and say it, when someone hurts us, it doesnt come right out..
Its not even that we keep it in to obsess over it... actually usually I kind of brush it off till it happens again, BUT, it does all come out in our songs, paintings, writtings...
maybe we keep it in because thats our means of expressing it..

This drove my ex's crazy. apparently I'm not the only one guilty of this little trait.
thoughts?

smoking in the boy's room

Theres something that sounds like an elephant wandering around the stairs. could it be that we have new neighbours? Hopefully theyre not lame.

My downstairs neighbor is a Rock Historian. Rock as in Music, not stones. He doesnt like the beatles so I'm wondering what his stand is on the rolling stones.

Went to the Subsonic last night for the first time all year! its changed a little but still feels nice and homey :) Somehow by complete mystery I still ended up at the mojomatic having drinks on the terrace.

Someone asked Sylvain for an autograph. fer reals.

Check out the poster I made for my flatmate! He has a sweet skateshop called POPULAR (rue de l'université) its just black indian ink on white bristol board.

I dig the faces, its my favorite part to draw.

I have some other stuff to work on today, a pretty lady. I'm thinking of going swimming tonight

because I'm getting RESTLESS and I have so much energy I feel like a four year old kid after eating a box of sugar and sitting and painting all day isnt getting rid of all that energy. I'm so fucking excited to go to the states again!

kisses.

Like a soul lady can

My suitcase is getting wornout.

My bank manager is going to kill me.
Everytime I get restless I hand all my cash to the nearest aiport in exchange for a boarding pass and I'm only willing to come back once my head is clear..



The little boat I fell in love with in thailand..



Secret altars on Barcelona's side streets..
everytime I see this photo it reminds me that I want to live there..



And my aunt's garden in Corsica where I was born..

In march I'm going to CALIFORNIA. And Mexico...
I've never really been to Mexico.. and I think its going to be special and amazing.
