| ETERNAL SUMMER Eternal Summer is a continuation of the 100 Days of Summer project I tried last summer. Each day I'll complete some kind of creative endevor/project over the corse of that day and then upload it here. My goal for this summer is to go beyond one hundred days and make it last forever.
If you'd like to collaborate on a project one day Email and say hi

DAY 55 Aug 13 2008 Met with art collerctor/writer Mark Gross today to do some collaborative creative writing at a cafe in Potrero Hill. We picked people in the cafe at random and wrote short stories about them. One was a dialog between a mother and child, the second was a 1st person story from the perspective of young guy with a moustache, and then the last was a 3rd person story about two older matching men in red and blue golf shirts. Mark's short stories were really amazing, If you'd like to read them you can go HERE. (i'm not going to post mine, they were not nearly as good).

DAY 45 Aug 3 2008 Today I did a collaborative project with Mike Park, a friend from Oakland who I met through Marci and Deth. We met up in Doloros Park and he brought along children'sactivity books. The little booklettes were really cute, it had a big blank square at the top of the page and then 4 or 5 lines underneath it so you could write your own adventure story. We took turns swapping writting and drawing in eachothers books and this is what came about... Mike was nice enough to take them home and scan them and re-type the text

DAY 38 July 27 2008 I have been doing a terrible job of uploading my daily projects this weekend, so sorry for that. Not having a digital camera has really been making this project a bit harder for me to do things quickly and easily...but, i am so happy to say that I bit the bullet and bought a new camera this morning...it should be in my hands in two days! BE PREPARED FOR AMAZING THINGS TO HAPPEN! These pictures are from my 6x7 camera, i just got them developed today quickly art new lab

DAY 30 July 19 2008 Today helped out my friend Jessie who works at the farmers market for Dirty Girl Farm and it was amazing. Their vegetables are the best, and after listening to tons of delicious sounding cooking ideas from their costomers I went home and made tokyo turnips with orange beets,with sweet yellow potatoes and shallots. Just simple baking with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. So good.
DAY 29 July 18 2008 I finished putting together the final touches on my new little book...i think it's awesome, my best one to date BEATING

DAY 28 July 17 2008 Today I worked on a zine...but a couple days ago my digital camera broke so i have nothing to show for it...i will find a way to be more creative with uploading images with no camera...just give me a few days and it'll all work out, hopefully.
DAY 27 July 16 2008 These polaroids are from a collaboration between with Billy O'Callaghan and myself in Golden Gate Park. The way we did it was by having one person lay on the ground and the other stand above holding the strap of the polaroid camera and letting it dangle just high enough so the person laying down could reach out and push the button. These fit into a series he is working on called Assisted Self Portraits. The photos I took with my 6x7 are still inside of my camera...but as an extra little bit of information, while we were in the park we saw a mother and her baby quails! it was amazingly adorable. .. Anyways, the images will be uploaded when they are developed...

DAY 18 July 7, 2008 Today I made another collaboration drawing Kyle Mock. The theme for this one was "Lightning, exploding volcano, mountains and fireworks". When we are making these we draw the images upside down and put up a little wall (usually a tall book.) This way we don't know what the other person has drawn until the end... we are surprised everytime, I totally recommend trying it.
We also made potato tortillas with sweet onions, tomatoes and spinach, delicious!
