There is a blurb about Invasions (the show I'm in at 711). Here is a link to the page

If only I could have donned the mask of dewy youth when I dove into the bright college crowd hanging out at 7eleven, a temporary gallery at 711 Washington Street, where dozens of paintings by the outsider artist Ionel Talpazan tell the story of his kidnapping by saucer-flying aliens. This cheerfully nepotistic enterprise was established for the summer by three twenty-year-old women whose parents are either writers, artists, gallery directors, or, in one case, the developer who plans to tear down the building in September to make way for a small (ha!) hotel.

The three founders, Genevieve Hudson-Price, Caroline Copley, and Sabrina Blaichman, grew up together and went to either high school or Cooper Union with the other three artists in "Invasions," their terrific debut show: Theo Rosenblum (inspired environment with a river of fake green lava), Thomas McDonell (oil on cotton self-portraits), and Sebastian Black (life-size nude cutouts lounging in a piano bar). None of these youth know the meaning of idle. "I guess I should go home and let them do their thing," said artistJane Kaplowitz, Theo's mother. "Not me," replied another proud parent, artist Judy Hudson. "I'm having way too much fun."

post expose//open studios

post expose is this new and really rad long island city screenprinting shop and gallery space. you can take classes and pay for time by the hour or day or week to use the facility. anyway it rules and this weekend there is something called open studios which is pretty much just an opportunity to go in, tour the space, look at the exhibit that's up, etc. DO OR DIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! ps if anyone wants to save the whales and seals with me, let me know.

Here it is, the Ping Ting Thing, the veritable Clean Plate Club of 2007. Since the Blog is just up and running I thought I might post some photos of my work from my senior show. So, with some further and a bit of ado...

My homie Baby Bry Bry calls this one "Seb as a Sexy Chick" with an inappropriate amount of luster.

More naked fellas... I know right?

This is a pen drawing, not type it took me much longer than it was worth, since nobody really noticed it. I put it in a group show at Secret Project Robot in June, and it has been floating around lower Manhattan with Cobra ever since.

one of my rooms

These are some pretty crappy photos that I snapped right before the show came down so sorry for the quality, or lack thereof. My ill part rabbi, part handy(wo)man, part photographer, all lesbian, aunt Devon took some much nicer photos, but I lost the cd they were on.

Also it is worth mentioning that there was this other kid who painted these dope sexy demon dragon ladies that I would have posted, but every camera that photographed them blew up in my hands. Here is something I found online to give you an idea.It was in a similar vein, only much less technically accomplished.
