SHOULD HAVE TAKEN ACID WITH YOU, Neon Indian/ Future Rock Mix


Love their cover of Neon Indian.  Much better live though; I saw Future Rock's show with Orchard Lounge at Castaways back in September...in a word: transcendental. 

Gai Wright, LOOK, February 7, 1967



Andrea Dromm, LOOK, February 7, 1967


I just picked up some old magazines at a favorite local antique store...they are rife with treasures including LOOK's 1967 flirty shoot of blonde bombshell, Andrea Dromm, by Richard Hewett (click for full spread).  The cover article from this issue is "The Day JFK Died: William Manchester discloses the terrifying chaos that followed the shooting in Dallas-Part Two of The Death Of A President." More to come.

Firsts from October NoteboOk, SketchBOOK









I finally started a new sketch journal in a bright chartreuse moleskin.  Thus far it has tidbits from my philosophy course, pressed Nasturtium 'Alaska Mixed' leaves that I picked on Seneca St. and abstract growth module variations in ink, watercolor and gouache.

Creature Feature Silk Ties from Jes Switaj








These are made in Brooklyn (surprise) by Jes Switaj and are available in many colors and designs including a larger-than-life centipede. I am hoping she will offer the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) in a crimson red.

Smoke and Mirrors



Fate of the Phalaenopsis + Prospero



Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, that great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.


Prospero
The Tempest, Act IV, Scene I
