I want to eat the paint from your paintings like cake icing.; June 26, 2009 at 11:25 AM

Cargo is right for ten points...; June 28, 2009 at 7:42 AM
Christina G. said...: Was following up on the Cosby link, from FAST, & noticed this painting in the sidebar. Well, sometimes I miss seeing your paintings that used to show up in my email, yet never thought, Just go to the site! Duh...my head is frequently buried in the sand, I think.

d2 is right, definitely icing ! It is a luscious painting.

What amazes me is how, IMO. the success of the whole painting turns on those 3 splashes of bright red. (But of course, you knew that.); July 15, 2009 at 2:29 PM

GRAVITY FREE is a unique multidisciplinary design conference. Every May, in a design-rich location, hundreds of designers from around the world gather to share two and a half days with the most passionate designers, design thinkers, and innovators on the planet.
GRAVITY FREE is inspiration. It's a “why” conference, not a “how to” conference. The speakers are the change-agents of the world. In the past we've invited to speak such important designers and thinkers as Tucker Viemeister (Oxo Goodgrips kitchen tools); Ron Pompei (Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie stores); Chip Conley (boutique hotels like The Phoenix in San Francisco, based on psychographics of magazines like Rolling Stone); Homaro Cantu (leader of the molecular gastronomy revolution and inventor of the edible menu); Freddy Justen (innovative communications storytelling at international trade fairs); Aldo Cibic (co-founder of the Memphis Design movement in Milan); Deborah Sussman (legendary 1984 Olympics graphic designer) to name just a few.

"Can you Hear me Cow?"
"I want to consider this question in relation to one specific area- the contemporary government of disorders of desire.
Not disordered desire in the sexual sense – which, despite the colonial ambitions of psychoanalysis, was never more than one small corner of the empire of desire.

I want to consider those other forms of disordered desire known as cravings and addictions - disorders that Mariana Valverde (1999) has termed ‘diseases of the will’ ...I am interested in the mutations that may be occurring in our ways of thinking about and acting upon these pathologies in the context of recent developments in the life sciences and biomedicine - the decoding of the human genome, the new neuroscientific knowledges of the brain and its mechanisms..."
