Orson Song

2010-03-15T22:11:00.001-07:00

Today, Orson was a wild man on the keyboard.
He usually goes nuts, keyboard is his favorite toy by far.
(on a side note, if he could speak, he'd probably be mad at me for calling it a "toy" because he takes it very seriously)

For over an hour, our neighbors enjoyed the sounds of Orson's keyboard concerto.
(one of them later asked if I was taking piano lessons)

I've recorded an excerpt of the avant-garde concert he put on for me, to share with you.

By the way, this photo was taken during the concert you hear.

(you need quicktime player to play this, I think)

good migrations

The worst part about this was that the fucker behind the wheel was wearing a fucking Ronald Reagan t-shirt!
When your entire persona is an exaggeration of "asshole", you need to rethink something.

and I've been replaced, by the way.

chatroulette

2010-03-09T08:54:00.000-08:00

Has anyone out there heard of chatroulette?
It's more fun than, say, putting your dick in a blender, but less fun than say, everything else.
I've never seen so many pimply hornballs in my life.
The idea is beautiful:
Go to a website, and through the magic of the internet, you'll be connected with a stranger somewhere far away.

Like every other beautiful idea, though, it's been taken over by people that think Train, and The Black Eyed Peas are "edgy".
Grrrrrr
I saw more dongers than I've seen in my years in gym locker-rooms.
Here are the internet-postable (read "donger-less") low-lights.
I tried to blend in as much as possible.
dark room, 3/4 profile, etc.
haha

Artist Net

2010-03-06T11:09:00.000-08:00

Anyone else notice how wide the net has been cast on the definition if "artist"?
I've heard mechanics, strippers, DJs, chefs, taylors, computer programmers and carpenters all described as such.
While I won't argue that what they do is creative - because it surely is, nor will I argue that the "artist net" shouldn't extend itself beyond te gallery - because it should! My problem is that if we use the term "artist" anytime someone is good at something, what term do we reserve for actual artists?
Can't we call these people "crafstsmen"?

fish assholes

2010-02-09T15:50:00.000-08:00

also, I found this for you.
I've never had fish assholes before (and the can was too old looking to start a fish asshole diet now) but if fish assholes are anything like people assholes, I can't wait!

I feel a bit like this today

drawings from all over

2010-02-09T10:40:00.000-08:00

So I've started a new project.
kind of a bake one, take one thing, where I advertise online for strangers to draw a picture, take a photo of it, and send it to me via SMS (text message).

I felt a little weird about aggressively putting out my phone number on the web.
but.
people are good.

The promise is that if you draw me a picture, I'll draw one for you, and send it back.

One one day alone, there was such a huge response that I had to change it a bit, and draw one picture for everyone.
Even then, I was swimming in rad little drawings!

Right now, I'm collecting photos of lunch!
test them to me, or email them to me!

No Wolf (the waygoing compromise)

2010-02-06T20:09:00.000-08:00

I wrote a book.
It's called No Wolf (the waygoing compromise).
Yes, spelled like that, with "waygoing" as one word.
here is the website. here is the facebook fan page.

The book isn't published yet – I'm waiting to find an agent.
But I'm really excited because so far there's been a lot of positive criticism.

Even better, there's a pronominal fucking soundtrack by a-fucking-mazing Canadian musician August Hell!
I'm lucky.

This will all be available on the site later, but for now, please email me for a sample chapter, or to know more about the book or soundtrack.

Please check the site, and friend us on facebook.

Love
Richard

a friend sent me one of those videos to watch on my iPhone – the ones where the beauty contestant says something really stupid, and it's supposed to be really funny.
we're supposed to watch these videos and laugh with content that we're not as stupid as the beautiful girl that says stupid things.
anyway.
my phone got stuck - err- froze, then something beautiful happened.
halfway into a fade-in, I caught this.
