Update

So things are starting off this new year at a fast pace. Im doing alot of work designing a bunch of huge projects for this year along with getting together all the paperwork needed for a run at some art grants in LA and BRC.Setting up for New Years at SI was a long hard week but we made some permanent upgrades that will be noticed for a while. Hope all is going well for all. I will be takeing off for Mexico in the next month to finish setting in stone the plans for this years art car and spend some time out of cell service on remote island beaches getting some down time. 2008 is going to be huge, I cant wait to show some of the new sculptures I have in store for this year.

We also just launched Orbit Radio online so check us out at www.orbitpod.com right now we are featuring diffrent sets of music that have been performed at Orbit parties in the past, much more to come with this.

Life is Fantastic

So the job I’ve been working on for the last couple months, a show for Spike TV has ended and its about damn time, I’m ready to get back to my creative flow, hang with my peeps downtown and as of now enjoy a two week retreat out in Malibu were I will be working on setting down the plan for creating some really great art projects including one collaborative piece for next years burning man that has already got me super excited. The Group that Christina has asked me to work with are some of the most amazing artists in our community, two incredible glass blowers and a multi talented blacksmith, I look forward to contributing and learning from this great group.
I’m also working on some silver, stone and leather jewelry to be available early 2007. Along with some Malibu inspired canvasses and maybe a small sculpture I have a bass for. Ill also be working with the space island bros to make sure New Years goes off better then ever so I can be there in the crowd with my family having fun celebrating the new year, next year is going to be incredible I can feel it building.

I would do it again as long as I had pimp outfits and a private shower as sanctuary. Oh yea and my own food. (Repost)

So those of you that know me know I put in a huge amount of labor over the last month or so. And worked during most of the burn not leaving the dragon ship and space wench except for a few moments here and a few moment there, so dedicated I put off going into the mans base and viewing platform until the morning of the burn and then got so caught up in getting the dragon ship started by the time we made it to the man they had shut it off to the public. And if you didn’t come by our camp at 9:30 and eager or get on the space wench I probably didn’t see you on the playa. I watched the man burn from on top of the space wench, parked at our camp between moments of working on getting the ship off. Not to mention the space dragon which I put a lot of time in and had kind of become attached to over the week of work, was banned from the playa twenty minutes into its first trip, and I hopped off it to pull the tow line on the wench and try and see the man up close. I was constantly dirty, often hungry, generally less intoxicated then anyone that might be reading this and so tired I fell asleep twice on the back couch of the space wench being jostled awake by strangers and friends looking for keys or wanting space on my couch, they got neither. Some have said they felt sorry for me and some that saw me at a low spot said I looked miserable and I was at some points. So reading this it looks pretty bad. Many have said thank you the biggest was from Stefano. I admit it was harder than I thought it would be but I made a promise to keep working and get both of those cars out on the playa and we did. I call the discomfort a sacrifice and not for me, for everyone. I was doing it so I could ride around on the ship and get some of the glory as Stef put it, but also it was to watch people interact and have the time of there life and the feeling you get from knowing you made it possible.

Plus the highs were really High and above all I learned too much to list I’m still absorbing it all. It was a complete experience, one that allowed me to make real connections with people. So many moments flash into my mind when I think back to the burn hundreds of tiny special moments flood my head most shared by just a few special people. It was a great Burn and as the shity parts become more comedic the special moments get even more special. I miss the playa, already. I miss standing on the deck of the space wench lighting the fire cannons with a torch as Bim spins records. I miss the first time out at the trash fence when I was finally able to stand back and see what I had helped create and the feeling of pride I haven’t felt in awhile that seemed to come from inside my chest and almost brought me to tears and is tearing me up right now. Or the ride back to camp towing the space dragon after it got banned, I sat on its head the whole way back as people stopped what they were doing to take in the spectacle of the space dragon being towed by the wench, Many took pictures and I cant wait until I see one with me on the head. I love the way you can climb all over the dragon on its chain, the head and the tail. Those powerful moments are what I live for. Next year is going to be epic and I plan on enjoying more free time and sleep, oh yea and food.
Yea and about the shower thing you don’t want to see me scrub playa out of my ass and other tight spots as much as I don’t want to let you see that, maybe more. And if you really want to see that you can get in the shower with me and help, Ill bring an extra loofa.

Loving what I do

so this job is going gr8 and i have so much fun every day. THE hours are long and lately ive been working on set while were shooting and then striking the set, so ive been getting off late, like early morning late. so my sleeping PATTERN is all screwed up and we shoot 6 days a week so this weekend i didn’t feel like i had one. so far im working through next week and even working as the lead set dresser 4 2 days this week. next week is Still up in The air but i knOw i have atleast one day confirmed as set dresser and the leadman for the swing crew checking to see when i can work for him. i just hoPe I have a couple dayS off so i can get out and deal with my personal life and Have some fun off sEt, although i’m not going to tuRn down any work. i kEep thinking about sitting in my new loft downtown comfortable and at home, as if i already have it everyday, and my already awesome job is that much more enjoyable.
then i wisper to myself
I AM DELIVERED TO DIVINE SANCTUARY

Then I think about the feeling you have when you see something you’ve created and are amazed and proud. And I imagine myself standing in an open area watching people playing on and with a massive art piece made of wood, metal, glass and plastic that I created, and my life goal of building public sculptures seems closer every day.

I AM LOVED AND SUPPORTED AND I LOVE THAT, THANK YOU
