My Little Twin Daughters

And, lovely pearls,
When little girls
No longer sit ye on my knee,
May winsome ways
And gladsome days
Twin sisters your companions be.

- PHILIP LINDSLEY

Ceilidh's film shots from this night turned out a lot better than mine.

The Lapp's Good Friend

Gold and silver leaf, and orange dye, on a page from the storybook "Christmas Joys", published in 1901.

apple crates

I've never really been a fan of going apple picking. Is that okay?

Tame Hawk

For the Rifrakt holiday show this past weekend, I made a bunch of collage-y pieces from old books. I cut out some pages and then selectively applied gold and/or silver leaf, and sometimes orange dye. This one's just silver leaf. The illustration is from a book of stories and poems called "Chatterbox", published in 1885.

Eternally unfinished basement.

more skylights

Clare's room provides double the sunniness of David's room.

Rifrákt Holiday Art Show, TODAY!

Come say hi and get your holiday shopping done early. Everything's $10, and handmade, and awesome. Your giftees will flip out, if they like art. And things that are awesome. Because that's what we got right here:

New Idea Society

Mike Law of New Idea Society, at MassArt North 175, probably in 2000 or 2001.

DeLorean

DeLorean graffiti, taken with my phone at dusk. The crummy quality is perfect for this, though.

Rifrákt Holiday Art Show: two day warning

Another preview of what I'll be selling at the show on Saturday. Here's the info again:

barn with red doors

A snazzy red-doored barn, somewhere in New Hampshire.

Rifrákt Holiday Art Show, this Saturday

I'll be joining the Rifrákt folks for this art show/sale in JP this Saturday. I won't have any photos this time. Instead, I did some collage-ish things on paper. Here's a preview below. Come get your holiday shopping done early, cheaply and, above all, classily.

NIGHTMARE FUEL. (For cats).

Minute Man shutters

Home decorating your revolutionary pride in Concord, MA.

Millpond

Naturey and reflective self-portrait, thinking about deep stuff and stuff.

Bruce Robertsomething

I'd read this book based on the headshot alone.

Eat a block a day.

3,500 Good Jokes For Speakers

The follow-up, "3,500 Bad Jokes You Keep To Yourself" didn't sell too well.

Parallelograms or, as I Iike to call them starting now, drunktangles.

Cave In pt. two

Cave In at the Middle East Downstairs, 11/22/09.

Jose Chapoutier

I moved. And also I just realized I've posted a photo every day for more than a year now. Thank you for checking them out.

cat lamp close-up

Cat touch-lamp. Ok, last time. FOR NOW.

face plant

I like the asymmetry of the face.

eating in the rain

Look at the little slice of pizza etched into the window-fog in the upper left-hand corner. It's a miracle!

Galaga

BEW!

Lauren & Misha

Framing was always a problem of mine.

Baltimore brush

If you've ever watched The Wire, Baltimore looks exactly like that, even from the train. Everything in view is sad and corroded. At one point we passed a bunch of guys fighting pitbulls behind a warehouse near the tracks. Every person I saw on the streets was kind of teetering slowly along, looking dumbfounded. Maybe I just passed through on an off day.

rocking horse

This kid again.

dumpster gap

A mouse died in this alley once, by the hands of Christian and me, and a discarded nighttable. It was for the best, the mouse was stuck in a glue trap that the exterminator had set. But it was pretty upsetting. What psycho invented glue traps anyway? He should be laid on one in this alley, with a wheel of cheese on his lap.

David's hair

T-shirt was not purchased during actual tour.

golf course bird house

I checked as best I could, but I don't think there were any eggs.

green mountain

Vermont, literally.

catwoman

Ana as Catwoman one Halloween. Part of this series.

The mirror makes this picture.

miis

Roger and Kevin doing their best Wii faces.

bread truck

Bread truck rocks. Lawnmower.

a plum

A plum a day keeps you cute.

FUN

It actually said NO FUN, but I cropped it because having FUN is where it's at. Having NO FUN is somewhere else, and it's lame there.

he is the champion

Matt's Freddy Mercury legs.

Halloween polaroids

Fun fact: The lady who plays Annoying Progressive Insurance Lady also plays a switchboard operator on Mad Men. It's true!

BOO!

I should've posted this yesterday. SEPARATED AT BIRTH.
