Automediality is a key component of my artistic practice.

Automediality is a form of autobiography through media,

in real time, shaped by the media outlets utilized

this journal is one of my media outlets

please see the Automediality & Me page for more information

my love for you is eternal
...seek refuge in your eyes

now up on Not Just a Label

it's a beautiful day out

a good day to start thinking about the beach

I haven't spent that much time at the beach

since I moved here

instead, time in the mountains

just finished another submission

planting the seeds

every day

and I lead with my heart

Glamour...reveals the truth 

about what we desire

 and, sometimes,

what we can become  

Virginia Postrel

it is as if you are with me

the bird continues to sing

keeping me company

whilst I work on my submission

the sweet sound

of a solitary songbird

in the dark

washes over me

like you

whispering my name

 with a mouth full of drawl

sticking to me

like molasses

so all I can

hear is the 

feeling of licking

til a' the seas gang dry

Picasso at the Sotheby's preview, Los Angeles

going to be working with Sydney

again on Monday with Santi Babaran
so excited!

so proud of this shoot

they published 16 out of 16

of the photographs

I can't help but want to share some of them

I made this shirt for the shoot

Sydney looks stunning with or without makeup

Francesca decided on this orange lipcolor

and I pulled this gown out of my collection

 it was not originally part of the shoot, but wow! 

I included touches of blue

just because of Sydney's eyes

we shot in my studio

and Legend was putting everything

in the shoot 

that inspired him in the moment

I told him to call it The Collector

and he did :)

Sydney has all the qualities of a high fashion model

I feel that she is going to make it big

as soon as Legend booked me

I found this coat

it is so what he looks to shoot

I built the whole shoot around it

and wow, Sydney

The uncanny is apprehended as a physical sensation, 

like the one I have always associated with an ‘art’ experience

The Tate

[Ilya] Kabakov puts it: 

‘The main actor in the total installation, 

the main centre toward which everything is addressed, 

for which everything is intended, is the viewer.’ 

He reiterates one of the dominant themes of installation art

 since it emerged in the 1960s: 

the desire to provide an intense experience for the viewer. 

The Tate

Love Among the Ruins 1873 Edward Burne-Jones

haven't we learned

what happens

as a result 

of suppression and repression

I can't solve 

everything

I can only express

my feelings

now filtering into how male and female characters
are being written in Hollywood.
escalation.

when are we going to notice

how much men are suffering?

the Santa Anas are blowing tonight

says 11mph

but we are getting gusts 

at least 3 times that if not more
I feel like I am on Nantucket again!

I promise you the moon too

something for you

rhinestone "elite" in a low rider

didn't mean to move while I was taking the photo

but love the way it turned out
(more inspiration)

this engine reminded me of a heart

would like to make a heart shaped engine

for an art installation

love the inclusion of The Futurist Manifesto

in the Porsche exhibit

love these vintage ads

this one especially apropos

Overall I was really impressed

there were missed opportunities

for interactivity 

and even the scent of leather would have been 

a great addition
The installation gave me inspiration
for my fashion pop-ups

 there was also a Porsche exhibit

 it was very immersive and experiential

lots of visuals and sound

including beautiful music

the museum was completely different 

from the last time I was there

I didn't realize that they rotate the cars that are on view

there is a Ferrari exhibit on now

Santi and I went to

The Petersen Museum

my favorite car in the whole museum

Ford GT40 MKIII

The art of storytelling is incredibly important.  

Learning to tell a story is critically important,

because that’s how the money works. 

 The money flows as a function of the story.

I surrendered to you

I do not see it as a price I paid,

rather, it is what gave me 

the ultimate:

freedom and joy
if there were such thing as a price
I would pay it over and over again
with you
