Ceramic Dog at (Le) Poisson Rouge

"We got it to sound wrong, exactly like us." 

~Marc Ribot about "Your Turn" album by Ceramic Dog

Just returned from a craaazy-good concert at (Le) Poisson Rouge, Ceramic Dog 'Your Turn' CD Release Show, presented by Undead Music. Marc Ribot on guitar, Ches Smith on drums,  Shahzad Ismaily on bass/electronics. Love these musicians for years. Seen them before many times, and yet tonight was the best...yet. Thank you for your “free/punk/funk/experimental/psychedelic/post electronica/noise" music.

White Horse

Spent a nice spring weekend at the Mystic Seaport just recently, revisiting our on-going Dalvero exhibit "Restoring a Past, Charting a Future" at the Museum of America and the Sea and continuing to reportage the C.W. Morgan whaling ship restoration. And while roaming the seaport, I stumbled upon a white beauty named Zena on her day off (she pulls a carriage around the museum's 19th century village.)  Zena and I shared a few moments together.  It was lovely.

Electro-Swing Party Poster 3

New poster for the NYC-based Electro-Swing Event "Swingin' Penguin", organized by my friend Deejay Spinach. The party celebrates it's 4th anniversary in May. Check it out, especially if you happen to have a great Prohibition-Era outfit in your closet that needs an outing. Should be fun.

Here are some earlier posters for the same event, done in 2011 >

Blooming New Beginnings

More life drawing! Playing with color.

Spring Goddess

It's still cold in New York. In yesterday's life drawing class, our model looked like a Spring Goddess. I hope she works her magic. Time to see blossoms and sunshine. We are all ready for it...
