Installation view of the 
Armory Show: International Exhibition of Modern Art
New York
1913

Dang nab it!
I ain't been posting worth a shit lately.
Sorry about that.
I've been busy, but everyone is busy,
so what's the rub?
I really think it is that damn
So until I kick my habit,
check me here and there
and I'll try to get better, or at least more prolific....
Until then
please
enjoy my visual excerpts 
from the highly entertaining book

  1. I visited Beatrice Wood's former mortal home and studio up on the hill in Happy Valley, Ojai, Ca. 2 days ago, Sunday (1-9-2016) afternoon... and it was the best day I've had in quite some time... No shit, I literally `felt' Beato there with me most of the time I was there (about 3 hours.) I requested a full tour of the grounds and esp. her studio space, cause I really just wanted to touch her kiln (all graciously allowed), and not only is most of the place still all Beatrice, her things, her art, her supplies, her eternal essence, all left (mostly) intact just as she left them when she died... It really was the bomb, man! I would have to say that I was literally so ridiculously excited about the whole affair, and just BEING THERE and walking around freely drinking merlot for about 3 hours, that the whole experience was definitely akin to meeting and getting to hang out with an all-time favorite band, musician or movie star... I felt like a little kid just arriving at Disneyland that entire afternoon.... DADA FU%^&N' ROCKS AND STILL LIVES... AND SO THE F*&K DOES BEATO WOOD, I am really quite satisfied to report all of this exciting (well, to me it was, at any rate!) information for you here!!
