First week in the studio...

I moved into my new studio this week. So far I have spent every day here and it feels great.

The studio itself is 26sq meters.

The view from out my window is great...

This week I have cut and printed 4 blocks. So far my interest in Berlin resides in the contrast between the vacated and abandoned spaces that are so common in the city and the ultra modern/ well preserved buildings that fill in the remaining space in the city.

In other news:

I broke my Ipod yesterday, which is severely disheartening. If anyone wants to salvage my state of mind that mimics the state of my ipod I am accepting donations for a new one or help fixing my existing one. Either scenario would help.

I also got a new bike last week.

It is an Express Werke frame from the 50's with a working dynamo front hub that powers the front wheel. The gear ratio is perfect for how flat Berlin is. It also has a Brooks saddle. I didn't know what all of the Brooks fanatics were talking about until I found myself thinking "damn, my ass feels great!" on my ride to the studio ysterday.

That's all for now.

Stolen Sleeves Installations.

These large collages are created using the small prints that I have been working on. They are installed at the stolen sleeves collective, Brooklyn NY where I had been the artist in residence for two months.
