my love for you is a stampede of horses.

37,000 feet in the air & Corey Corcoran's utility box.

So, as I type this I am flying at 517 mph 37,000 feet in the air. Man...I love technology! I'm oscillating between watching Tropic Thunder of getting up a few more posts before I land in SF...

My buddy and sometimes myloveforyou contributor, Corey Corcoran has taken his layered, colorful goodness to the streets. This utility box is a block from my house. I have yet to see it in person, but I am stoked none the less. Boston needs more street art. It's kind of a crime how clean the city is...I say save some tax dollars money and stop buffing. AMIRITE?!

Going back to Cali.

I am off this morning to head back to my second home, San Francisco where I'll be getting ready for the opening of You've Got Light in Your Eyes at Needles + Pens. Andrew just emailed me the above photo. Just look at all that art work that is waiting to be hung! Wow, right? If I have time I will be posting a bit here and there about the hanging of the show. You can see some of the work here. I am super excited for the trip, I have lots planned for the blog and will share it with you when I get back.

In the meantime our buddy, Will Bryant (who is also in the show!) will be posting for the next week. Give him love, he's so damn loveable, it's easy.

Rebekah Bogard.

Amy Sol posted images of Rebekah Bogard's studio recently on facebook, my jaw dropped as I checked out her ceramic sculptures. I raced to her website and honestly was floored by the beauty and complexity in her sculptures. As a woman myself, I often  think about gender in art, so I was really stoked to read about her thoughts behind her work:

I employ fictional animals in my artwork to explore the narrative of my life and my own personal history as they provide me with both anonymity and security to the secrets I reveal.  I enjoy utilizing animals because they are beautiful and mysterious creatures, vulnerable to relations with humans.  This susceptibility gives them a sense of benevolence that is often lacking in human associations.  I use this vulnerability as a source of power.  It takes a brave and confident person or animal to make themselves vulnerable, for they must have the strength to withstand the consequences...(read more here)

Be sure to check out the rest of her work, hot damn it's rad. Rebekah will be taking part in the 2009 Kokeshi Exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum in LA (July11-Oct 4, 2009), where she has been invited to make a kokeshi inspired sculpture. Awesome.

John Casey's Capt. Chest N. Shoulders of the Flying Head and Hands Brigade.

John Casey has been documenting (as he normally does with his work.) his sculpture, Capt. Chest N. Shoulders of the Flying Head and Hands Brigade, that he has been working on for the upcoming show at Needles + Pens. I am so excited to see this guy in person...see more of the progress here.

Aj Fosik on flickr.

Man, words kind of can't describe the incredible beasts that are Aj Fosik's. I won't even try, they just rule while others drool. Pretty, pretty much. Every time I see his work I'm just blown away. He does magic with wood, paint and nails. I'd just get splinters. Aj just uploaded some pics to flickr, check em out.
