Happy Monday, Motherfuckers

November 24th, 2008 · 12 Comments · Biorequiem

It’s true that my head’s been elsewhere. Whether it’s between the clouds, in the sand, or lodged firmly up my own ass is yet to be determined. But it’s not all Cure songs and black nail polish [does "black nail polish" even carry any weight these days?] – no, things have been happening. And I kind of like this. Crayyzeh!

  • Coilhouse issue 2 is done. Done. Done. And oh my god on fire, oh merciful Darwin’s ghost, oh sweet mama baby, it’s amazing and we have Courtney Riot to thank. Courtney, I’m taking your ass out. We can even go to that hipster nightmare zone you always threaten me with, as long as you don’t make me wear a fucking headband. Where was I? Oh yes. Done!
  • I have now painted on a blue denim jacket. I’m not sure what this really means but they are shiny tentacles, and I am proud to announce my participation in the Fist Full of Metal art show at the Hope Gallery. Curated by Joe Capobianco, this show will feature 45 jackets donated by Levi’s and is sure to have one hell of a reception. I wish I could go to the opening, but I just got one of these and, as some of you know I don’t use credit cards which means cash ain’t flowing for a bit. Please, go for me and take pictures? Friday, December 5, 7pm to 817 Chapel st. suite 2F. New Haven CT. 06510. Further directions here.

For the show at Hope Gallery
Will post a photo of the entire thing after the reception

  • I had an interesting time at the Military Fetish exhibit this weekend, and there are even some pictures that I may or may not get to, eventually. It was great to see Chad Michael Ward and Dan Santoni along with tons of stylish attendees. Mostly I’ve been photographing textures and moods and really taking a break from portraits, unless you could some dog photography I did over the weekend.

  • Bought 4 canvases while out with Piggy Von Squez yesterday. Was it an act of masochism – knowing full well I probably have no time to paint the canvases will take advantage of my weakened emotional state and slowly drive me mad as they sit gleaming on my dusty easel? Or an act of heroism – I will forsake food and sleep even more than I already am in order to paint until my hands and eyes bleed in unison? Only time will tell.
  • Yes, it’s black.

BLACK.

It seems that everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know. Sing it, Michael Franti. Me, I need more coffee, obviously.

    Tentacles from the F.S.M., perhaps? You can lop them off – they just grow back. Just don’t eat them..

  • zoetica

    Hahaha, I think these might be too pretty for the FSM – I never pictured him so pink and purple! That video made me want to never eat again.

    You’ve been busy (as always) and it’s always good. I’ve realized your head has been somewhere else, but as long as it’s for something good I don’t think there’s a problem at all.

    I can’t wait to see your future paintings, and it’s a shame I live so far away to go and see some of your galleries and such.

    On a more personal note: yYour hair looks amazing and you look even more beautiful… I have a weakness for girls with your skin and dark hair.

    By the way, where did you get your glasses? I love them!

    Take care and I hope to have new art from you very soon.

  • Ram

    Ok, this is the proof. Warren Ellis is contagious. You are actually becoming a Warren of the art/fashion world. I expect the two of you to have a swordfight in the near future. Don’t expect him to fight fair.

  • zoetica

    Luis, thank you! I hope to provide some new art for the getting as soon as possible. It’s just that it’s so uncertain when that possibility will arise. I do have a bunch of originals for sale, most of which you can see here [CLICK] Drop me a line if you’re interested! And thank you about the hair, as well – it’s a big and welcome change. Oh and! The glasses are from one of Tokyo’s many eyeglass boutiques. This one was in Nakano.

    Ram, I demand to know what this post has to do with Sir Ellis, though I shall wear that badge with pride and maybe even some responsibility.

    [...] I’ve been giving Zoetica shit about having dyed her hair black all week, and should probably apologise in public for calling [...]

    Zoetica, could you share with us what kind of photo equipment do you use? Thanks.

  • zoetica

    Ferenc – I use a Canon 5D with a 35 lens.

    @Zoe
    Dunno, from the start “Happy Monday, Motherfuckers” was the first clue, just never figured you for the random swearing person. You work nights, painfully (or so it seems… maybe “bleeding eyes” was a good thing? ). Magazine is blooming. For some reason I want to call you Yelena Rossini, but you’re eluding that title. For now. I want more bitterness next time ;)

  • Ferenc Wostry

    Thanks! Fantastic pictures, as always. :) This afternoon I wanted to take a peek at your flickr albums, and at one point I’ve noticed I’ve been browsing the pictures for hours. :)

  • Alice

    Sorry, I’m still stuck on that paragraph about Coilhouse #2. When can we expect it to be available for purchase? When, when??

    lips are so beautiful
