Sneak Peek at a gaR Bailey WIP

Ciao’der friends and lovers…

Update:  So as of late, I have been hard at w3rk in the Osteen studio with my brushes, oil sticks, and troughs. Fastidiously trying to complete a stack of long overdue paintings for my upcoming neo-dada, maximalist aRt show in June.  At the effervescing, omni-venue known as: Caffe Da Vinci. Aka The Tongue and Groove Gallery.

Night time insomnia has it’s benefits. For artists especially. And I have been taggin’ this piece below for the past 9 hours.  -Just took a break to hydrate and snap a couple pics of this new painting in progress. Eye was so pleased with the results, that I figured that I would share a bit of the imagery with all of you lovely, inquisitive gentlepeople.  (When this untitled piece is fully completed, I promise to post a photo the result.. it’s damn near, but not quite there.)

I will be exhibiting this painting at the June show as well, and there’s also going to be a whole hell’uva lot more stuff of this caliber, beyond, and other exciting variations of theme and media.  (*Magical fingertips build transcendence vehicles.)  So if you like my style, make sure and come out to support this, my largest aRt exhibit to date, in June.  ->Saturday, June 7th, 2008 to be exact.

For the freaks, If you just can’t wait for your Gar fix in 6-7 weeks.. you can come support 2 deland electronic musicians, as well as myself and my beautiful, new, video projector.  ->>At: Avant GAR ism #5  on May 3rd. 

After these 2 events, I will be going deep underground for the remainder of the Summer to decompress, reassess, and smell some roses with my family.

Update complete.. Over and out.

Dan Deacon - Profile, Video, & Free MP3s (*6 albums worth)

So turns out, that the ever-creative: Dan Deacon is even more prolific than I originally thought.  He is now offering free downloads of 6 of his albums…
http://www.dandeacon.com/mp3  -(Click  on the album, then right click, & “save target as” to DL the individual tracks)  
Pretty generous of him, me thinks.  Cuz hey.. free music is the best kind, right?  
Thanx for the free-ness and continued ingenuity Dan.

“Dan Deacon is a furry ball of imagination and childlike wonder. In his world, convention is thrown out a 20th-story window and beaten with a bright red plastic hammer.  Dan uses electronic gizmos, keyboards, and stuff he found in the trash to create amusing and confusing sounds, blended with absurd lyrics about undersea racing and feline entrepreneurs.  He is also a classically trained composer.” -Taken from Mr. Deacon’s LastFM Bio

Collages of Collages of Collages..

One of the early reasons I began making collages was because eYe wanted to see entire magazines or books at once.

-A baby walrus of the short attention span generation, beached on a melting island of pop culture. -Mix in a lil bit o’ What Boys are made of. Some carotid, vocational regurgitation of certain common knowledges. -In visual formatz. Inlaid with some fortuity, but more usually a sort of.. Optimistic Hopelessness through morphism.

- Also there’s a: “Cigarette Butt, River Stone, Butterfly BeltBuckle”.
