A small impression...

There was a lot more that ended up on the cutting room floor, but...

I'm trying to get the two mediums to talk to each other, or inform each other... so this is sort of an experiment around that... that and the exhibition was the excuse for the trip, so I might as well show some of it.

Its working, I too love your art

mmmm hmmmm

I really wanted to see your show in Portland
time & money did not allow

hopefully New York will make up for it
You're one of my favorite living artists, absolutely
I think Robert's too.. but that's just a hunch ^_^

so far still living.

you better stay alive


...at least until Summer time

reason enough to live

something can easily be arranged. Message me.

Done

well what do I say to that?

Once upon a time...there was a little dinosaur.....

he can narrate dinosaur bedtime stories for you and little bird bedtime stories for me :)

aren't birds and dinosaurs related now?

Once upon a time there was an ostrich

and an archaeopteryx

that works maybe better... but not a charming looking thing at all according to all the illustrations I've seen.

thanks. There were a few things I wanted to include, like the food trucks downtown that sell really great, really cheap eats. I had a bratwurst that beat anything I've had since Switzerland, etc... but it just felt like a "travel" vid... without advancing the mood and narrative I was trying to pull out of the footage.

I also like that Nirvana song.

And you still remember the beer's name. That says something.... either you liked the beer, or the movie.

ah, yeah, Portland beer is sooooooooooooooooo good

It was the beer that did it. I don't remember what the movie was. But the beer I will never forget.

BTW: I'm going to try and go to your show tonight.

Great.... (I was talking about the movie The Terminator)

Yeah that moment was a little experiment that kind of fit like magic, so I left it there. My friend Jaques is given to great blurts of fascinating verbiage, but this is the only one managed to get a little glimpse of on film.

I was trying to convey that feeling of walking around having a good time and then sort of slipping into jealous/sad thoughts. So I'm glad you had S. in the room as she was for me.

I think that's it for Portland, but I guess I'll try to shoot something from the show on Friday in NY... but I may be distracted.

may you be gloriously distracted
by all sorts of beautiful monsters
that want more and more and more...
and maybe, for our sake...
push the record button
before you come up for air.

Oh good. I wasn't certain how that was playing.

Yes it visually worksvery well, and it comes with the music (your work on the sound in this video is very good), and it gets with the idea of a voyage. So..

vachement. When you fall into someone's life as a guest, it's a bit like jumping the rails of your own life and hitching yourself to the locomotive of theirs... you're on the voyage, but also dependent and attached to theirs.

actually at some point in the editing, the track just synched up and ended with that switch. I just liked the change in music to silence with the switch in texture of the video. Of course, your reading of it is perfect, but it hadn't really occurred to me at a conscious level.

But Yeah... exactly.

Thanks mucho

glad you liked it.

Tell your friends.

Yeah twelve mins is long for Vimeo, but I wanted the center section to sort of range around.

So far the narration thing is an interesting step back to forward. I'm doing a presentation tonight and I think I'm going to try and speak over one of My old e-books. Going to try and document it and it may turn into a little film if I don't bomb.

thanks much

thanks... Glad you dig the stew

thanks

thanks bill. Glad people still stumble on it.
