This week I finished up this year's Flash Fiction February--if you're interested, I have a bit of a write-up about it over at the blog--I only ended up getting one day behind which I think is my best record yet!
On the physical crafting front, I finished one present and one present-to-be (it's a fancy sort of IOU) for folks' birthdays. The handcrafts were much appreciated as we didn't have power (scheduled maintenance) on Tuesday. I had contemplated doing some work and going to a cafe if I needed to but the power company essentially blocked every outlet of our complex as they put up a new power pole. Glad I took the day.
I finished the next newsletter just in time as it goes out tomorrow, lol. I also continued plodding through some very boring set up work that once more I can't conjure sexy subscriber-only posts about.
The coolest thing I did this week was go check out Kara Walker's "Unmanned Drone" which absolutely rips in person, I am so glad to have seen it. Here's an LA Times link about MOCA acquiring it that has some good shots of it. There's some other very cool pieces in the Monuments exhibition but they were at different locations than the area of the city we were in.Also man, Kara Walker always delivers, her SHAPES, you can always see it is her hand holding those scissors. I went to a real suck-ass museum once but it was all saved because they had a Walker piece in one of the galleries, bounding across the walls. I'm pissed as hell I was too smitten to take more pictures at "Unmanned Drone" because now I can't find any of the work she did on the now-smashed-up stone base of the ex-monument and for me they were one and part of the whole thing.
Anyway, thank you as always for your support. The world is a fucking lot and it's rad to know that I can give something, however small, that is worth being in your feeds or inboxes or whatever. And the folks who give money legit pay one of my utilities. I dunno man, go look at some art in person if you can, it helps sometimes.
