The 44th President

An historical moment such as this needs a brief pause of levity. Of the Drunken History videos, this one is the best.
We watched the inauguration from Churchill's Pub in Little Haiti (for those of you who don't live in miami..)

things to do and not to do

more posts to come. 2009 will be busy with upcoming projects, a recent installation,flying (with far-away layovers), switching to Mac from PC (i'm a whole-hearted convert) and related activities lately.

any suggestions?

I can't remember the name of this artist, though I'm going to look into it. But, it was at ArtBasel in a dark room behind curtains.

NADA Art Fair.
A rare gem. This drawing is about 8ft x 5 ft...
