Jhayne is still doing her awesome thing at Heart of World, and has actually managed to get her wee rosy paws on the beast. She’s still looking for donations and investors. I can’t wait to do my standup routine on that stage.
But I digress. The rest of this post is not about Jhayne, and I pray fervently on bloody knees that it isn’t about any of you, either. Uggs became popular what, two years ago? Give it a fucking rest. Look, I’m glad you covered up your disgusting feet that spent March through October in that same pair of scuffy, dirt-caked flipflops, but this is really not much of an improvement. Instead of looking like a stupid American tourist on SPRING BREAK WOOOOO, you look like a fat, stumpy hobo with ingeniously-constructed, plastic-bag-and-packing-tape boots.
You do not look sexy.
And I hate you.

The Bee Commission
From vebelfetzer.
It’s incredibly difficult to photograph shiny paintings, but here you
go. This is the centerpiece of the Bee Commission, effectively
bringing the project to a close. I think I’ll still do one more
piece, and then hold a show with all the paintings, sketches and
unpursued designs.
I’m about 75% pleased with this piece. There’s a sort of
tentativeness to it, and a stiffness, that I’m not proud of. And the
lighting is highly conventional. But I consider it an incredibly
successful lesson in painting, having basically taught myself to
paint in oils, starting from near-ignorance, with this one piece.

Unfinished Girl on Cell Phone
From vebelfetzer.
This is very hard to make out, but it’s a pencil sketch on a sorta-
stained wood board that’s awaiting the actual paint layers.

BAT SMAX
From vebelfetzer.
Original bat was my doing, and then Stickypig of course had to jump
my bat train and do his own version (the lower bat in the
sketchbook), commenting idly that he was trying to draw it like a
cereal mascot, and so we find ourselves with a half-finished BAT SMAX
posterboard thing. DEEEELISHUS!

My friend Jhayne is attempting something fantastic, in every sense of the word.
The Raja Theatre, most recently a Bollywood movie house, has come up for sale. With a history dating back to 1913, the theatre has been home to local theatre and live acts like Neil Young and Jane Siberry. Now the opportunity to again make it a hub of local art and performance presents itself. It is my intention to transform the space into Heart of the World, a multi-disciplinary arts facility featuring inspiring work from all over the globe that recaptures and surpasses its previous glory. Read the whole story here.
Shares of the Heart are now available for $200 each, and Jhayne is already halfway to the purchase price of the theater. The deadline is, unfortunately, tomorrow. This could be a good Xmas gift for the artistically-minded individual who has everything.

Oh god.
This is the only reason I can get paid to do what I do.
The greatest site on the entire internet. Ever.
