really glad for friday (but no painting)...
We had a really crazy week here. Long nights, early mornings, and I just couldn't pull it together to get a painting done for today. I was thinking that I would have to wait awhile for fedex to pick up the backdrops and I could squeeze in a painting, but our guy got here in no time.
Fingers crossed that there are no hitches and it makes it to California tomorrow morning. We painted two huge backdrops for Weeds. And everyone is exhausted. Got the job Tuesday to be completed TODAY. And we did it. The boss lady is really amazing! One of the backdrops was 20' high by 18' wide and the other was 18' high x 23' wide. Started the second one last night. The joys of working late. I really can't believe we made it. I don't know how that happens. Its like the theater and the show must go on. I was here and I am still amazed.
Instead of a full painting I have beginnings on a couple. One more that needs to be stretched. I have notes on this photo here.

the long birds...
Here they are in the bag ready to head out the door.
Sparky outside the window of spoon...
Spoon is my most favorite place in the world for breakfast.
I love the people that work there...they make my day.
It is a ritual that even durning my poorest days I would allow myself that treat.
A cup of hot chocolate - perfect and not too sweet and a delicious buttery scone.
The long birds (so named until the Boy thinks of something more clever) and I did a photoshoot at Spoon...photos inside next week.

a little love from spring...
I feel like blooming trees are like little kisses in the air.

a little all over the place...
This was the only time we had someone come up to us while we were shooting. It was early in the day, so I didn't have a spiel about what we were doing. When I said that no I wasn't in school, she gave me the weirdest look. I guess you can't do wierd things without being in school? Who knew?
This is one of the last photos, we were walking home from the diner. But I already have ideas for the next time. Plus I have some film to pick up today.
Check out Mr. Toast at Coney Island taken by the talented Anne!
I am extremely proud of the Boy. He just started his new film! Hurrah! Not only that, but he has a deadline for the video game and two short films that he is finishing up. Busy week for him! After that we have to have a little celebration.
A huge thanks to Kath for my write up about my robots in whipup! I feel so honored! You'd think I get my act together and post some of my new robots, but no such luck! I hope the birds are ok as a replacement for now.

besame mucho...
I took this photo when Aiko was here. We were headed up to the Cloisters.
It is surprising how terrible she (the singer, I mean) was...how unbelievably wrong her voice was.
But something made her really amazing.
Something just made me watch...her sing Besame Mucho.

painting - I mean sketch....
Here is a couple more shots of the softies around town - I even managed to work orange into the mix today! What I did not manage to do was get my painting completed or even started, so instead here is my sketch. (my excuse - fighting off this low-grade cold thing - feeling loads better today, but just trying to take it really easy)
I still have more photos of the softies for next week and going to take some of the tall birds today. The Boy attached them to wood and I must say they look fantastic. I am totally smitten with them! So photos of them next week too.
sort of inspired by this truly amazing photo
Have a fabulous weekend.

browns, blacks & whites...
All the birds enjoyed the day, it was beautiful out, such a perfect spring day. (although it snowed big huge snowflakes yesterday!)
This little owl was missing his home in the trees, so for a couple moments he was home.
I love what is happening with the reflection in the Boy's glasses.
Taking photos of this set-up (the same one from Tuesday) there was a woman taking photos of us taking the photos.

at the diner...
At my favorite diner. We ended the day with a late lunch. These guys are having a burger and some fries.
Waiting for dessert.
Some cake please?
(I can't seem to find it on-line, but last night I saw the naked cowboy on a commercial for the usa network)

fieldtrip with softies...
The Boy, the softies and I went on a fieldtrip this weekend to show them the city. Our first stop was Madison Square Park. We were a little too early in the morning for the Shake Shack so they just sat in the seat and chatted.
We covered a lot, captured some great moments.
I will show more this and the next couple of weeks.
Building a softie army for renegade!
Johanna and I are going to be in Brooklyn. I can't believe I forgot to say whoohooo!

a naked cowboy...
This was my first time ever seeing the Naked Cowboy.
{A quick little research on the web and I found out he has his own website. I don't really know why I am surprised. I have more than one website, so why shouldn't he.}
I had just moved to the city and wham there was a naked guy walking in Times Square. I was shocked. Then he did a little turn and I saw that he had some tighty-whiteys on and I was a bit less shocked. Still pretty surprised. More surprised though by the business people walking by, they didn't even give him a second look. I mean the guy is playing his guitar in underwear for crying out loud.
I have seen Naked Cowboy quite a few times since my first encounter and the shock has worn off. So those businessmen going to lunch must see him everyday, therefore no shock.
Living and working in this big city I have seen countless strange things, people dressed in the most ridiculous outfits. Carrying anything and everything on the subway. It seems so normal now. I guess what is strange is how normal changes.
