Hard and soft / Heavy and light

I say come for the week
You can sleep in my bed
And then pass through my life like a dream through my head

SCHEMATIC

It's like I can't stop posting to my blog this week.. But! I'm really excited about being part of the first issue of SCHEMATIC Quarterly, edited and designed by Ingrid Burrington and Kimmy Fung in Baltimore.

I just got some copies in the mail and they look beautiful. The idea is that there are 4 contributors per issue on 20x30" bright white newsprint in an edition of 1000. One artist gets a full side/poster (my honor this time) and the others compose the back. Also in this issue is the work of Archival Editions, Joyce Kim, and Miranda Pfeiffer—all of it is great.

More info here.

Thanks Mom

Here's another guest mom post (a gchat) I thought I'd share:

according to a study done at UT, "Dog people" tend to be more social and outgoing, whereas "cat people" tend to be more neurotic but "open," which means creative, philosophical, or nontraditional in this context.

P.S. If you can't tell I've found one last pack of polaroid film.. and UT is the University of Texas.

Also, here's to 2010:

mürren vol. 6

Though I haven't seen in it person yet, some of my drawings and collages are in the latest issue of the Japanese publication mürren—including the cover! I also feel honored that this is the "evergreen" issue:



You can see more previews of the issue on the Utrecht website here, however all the info is in Japanese.

Utrecht also has a few more copies of my book Some Thoughts for sale, which was featured in the New Museum's "Live Archive" last year and currently sold out everywhere else online.

cell phone pics 2009

I made a post like this back in June when I got my first new phone in several years. However, I've since fallen in love with the new camera and wanted to share some pics now—I don't want to just wait until it breaks.

The nicest thing about this camera is its default vertical orientation. It was a challenge at first.. and I've kind of had this theory about male and female photographers and vertical vs horizontal images for awhile. Thank you phone for opening up my field of vision!


Anyway, though—goodbye 2009!

TENDERNESS

A new "book" of photos of mine (most never seen) are now up on the BOOKS ON LINE website. Layout by Pierre Hourquet.

Light Vision Coney Island Holiday

The San Francisco based Light Vision Store recently moved to Brooklyn and I was asked to shot their Holiday 2009/2010 Lookbook in Coney Island. Photos from the shoot are now online here.

Krista and the other ladies of Light Vision are awesome--and so are the clothes. I definitely felt the envy from the other people (mostly old Russian ladies) who were also brave enough to be out on the beach when we were doing the shoot!

8

I logged into my web host recently and found out that Paperheart was first bought on December 14, 2001. That means this website is 8 years old as of today.

It also happens to be the birthday of these two lovely men: Jordi and Milan.

Happy birthday everyone!
