here she is....

and she’s gorgeous....



i picked this up on ebay the other day. it's my "replacement" faile. an original print..meaning it's a hand finished print...limited edition and all are slightly different. it looks way more impressive in real life. have to figure out how i want to frame it now.

here's another print i picked up....it's not original or signed...but stunning never the less....


sorry my blogging's been a little lame of late. busy and tired...that's my excuse. next wednesday is most likely my last day till after the strike so you might get a bit more out of me then.

:)

long weekend wraps up......

busy weekend. i did some fitting for the show i’m volunteering on. it all went well and they seemed happy. it was pretty fun actually....which is nice...b/c i rarely have fun at my job. showed me that i enjoy calling the shots and feel pretty confident about the whole thing.

aaron rocks it at the commodore....


last night i went with anne to see the townpants at the commodore.....what a great gig. the opening band run gmc were pretty awesome too. anne and i danced the whole time. rebecca was suppose to come with us but she was too upset. she had just moved out of her boy friends place.....hopefully we can have a girls night together another time.

townpants, run gmc and swank do an SNL ending to there show. cheezy but good...

happy yankee thanksgiving

i have the day off today and tomorrow. the show gives it to us off so our american stars and producers can go home and celebrate their thanksgiving.

i had lots of plans today.....did some stuff...not much though. mostly hang out with ani, charlie and sophie. i'll get stuff done tomorrow.

:)

one way to look at the world...

i was doing a little internet surfing today on street art and came across this guy. dan witz.....

he definitely has a sense of humour...;)




i laughed out loud when i saw this...can you imagine how the people who walked by it that day laughed?!

you'll be sick of faile soon....

....if you aren't already. ;)

today i received this in an email from sotheby's....

"The department also said that as they are so thrilled to have your work included in their sale, they would like to demonstrate their enthusiasm by waiving the illustration fee which is typically £500 GBP for a full color page."

they are giving me a fee add in their cataloge.....go figure.

:):)

my gal is off to london....

there she goes.

i packed her up last night and today took her down to be crated, then shipped to london. her big day isn’t ‘till mid feburary ....but they have to take pictures and do research for the write up in the catalogue.

one thing i have to say....sotheby’s is one of the most professional companies i have ever dealt with. i am small potatoes compared to much of the work they sell....yet they made me feel like i was the most important person in their day. i didn’t have to do anything. they arranged every step for me. it was amazing. yesterday they gave a shipping and insurance quote...and i won’t lie...it was high. i was a little worried about footing the bill considering the writers strike and all. anyway...this morning i get an email for them offering to front the bill for shipping. they just take the cost off the top of my sale. no interest, nothing. i would have put it on my visa and accumulated 3months interest....but now i don’t have to!

i feel like the gods are smiling on me.....on this aspect of my life anyway. there is another aspect....well......let's talk about that another day ;)

:)

even more faile...

i was surfing the internet looking for faile stuff, i came across this cool site. pictures of street art from all over the world...and loads of faile....

http://www.streetsy.com/streetsy/tag/faile/1







i think it's amazing they can go from this. street art...free for the world to enjoy....


to this....

fetching top dollar at sotheby's and shows at top gallery's in NYC

here's even more faile if anyone's interested...

happy birthday rebecca and gloria

it was rebecca’s birthday yesterday and since i didn’t go down to seattle and was feeling a little better, i headed down to the eatery to join the group.

it was a fun night...despite the fact that i’m pretty sure i was the oldest person in the place....

cool light fixture made of plastic toys...


eric and michelle order...


becca and me...


michelle digs into her deep fried mars bar....decadent!


it was also gloria's brithday yesterday...no pics b/c she's in TO. sounds like she had a nice day with tom and the twins....happy birthday gloria.

http://browse.sothebys.com/?q=faile

the rumour on the faile chat board is they are expected to go for 40,000-60,000 pounds!!! AND.....they're estimated value is 1,000 pounds less than mine!

:):)

i have the emerald city blues....

so for 4years i've been trying to get to the emerald city blues fest in seattle and having no luck at all....

the first year i didn't make it b/c it was roger's last weekend in town...so i spend the weekend with him. the next year was roger's fault agian...he came for a visit that very weekend. the 3rd year...lucky came to town.

ok ok this year for sure i was going. well....maybe not. i seem to be getting a have a cold....or super bad allergies....not sure which. i'll have to see how i feel tomorrow but there maybe no emerald blues for me once again. sigh....

:)

if i fell....

i had this beatles song in my head all day......

If I fell in love with you would you promise to be true,
And help me understand?
‘Cos I’ve been in love before, and I found that love was more,
Than just holding hands,
If I give my heart to you,
I must be sure from the very start,
That you would love me more than her.
If I trust in you, of please,
Don’t run and hide,
If I love you too, oh please don’t hurt my pride like her.
‘Cos I couldn’t stand the pain,
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.
So I hope you see,
That I would love to love you,
And that she will cry when she learns we are two.
‘Cos I couldn’t stand the pain,
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain.
So I hope you see,
That I would love to love you,
And that she will cry when she learns we are two.
If I fell in love with you.

time to sell....

so sutheby’s london wrote me a nice email. they are having a contemporary art auction mid February and have invited me to put my faile in it! pretty damn exciting!!!....and kinda surreal....

they estimated the value at 12,000-18,000 sterling!! nice. it could fetch alot more.....which would be awesome.

i may be needing the money b/c it looks like the writers union voted to strike. not sure what it means for our show yet. we have scripts 'till dec 4th...so hopefully it's not too bad.

:)

RIP papa G

gunther....kimba and daisy’s dad died last night...he was 15. a good age for a big doggie.

even though i never knew him....that pup touched my life.

if it wasn’t for good old gunther...kimba and daisy wouldn’t be on the earth which i am truly thankful for. kimba walked into sean and my lives at a time when we really really needed him and i’m very thankful for that.

another great thing about gunther is he had a hand creating my friendship with ani. one of the reasons i ended up talking to ani on the phone the first time is because she saw kimba and daisy’s pictures on my myspace page and wanted to figure out if they were his puppies....so she sent me her phone number. i remember the message.....

“holy shit dude...i think you dogs are my dogs puppies! (not the chihuahua’s....HAHAHA) call me.....”

if she hadn’t have seen the pictures we may never have talked on the phone and become friends.
