one million chicagoan art likers

Hey, I found more photos of people in Chicago!

Josh Fritz



...that girl isn't wearing any pants!


Me and MoJo

Josh, Mo and Salime carrying Jimmy Jr.

Better shots of that one dangerous bild.
This one with Mo.


Everyone loves the scarf Josh's mom made (Michelle Everett, Kim Egbert, Momoko Fritz)

Josh and Mo become friends with Darin and Liz.

DarLiz


Fletcher a.k.a. Daniel Everett was there and obviously VERY interested in art.


Jimmy and I got classed-up after our days of dirty work (double tie in full effect - compensating for Jimmy's no tie)

Todd at the neighboring West Loop show of Rodney Graham (guy in background left)

Jimmy and the most dangerous piece I've made so far (it fell on Jimmy in its first incarnation - he dodged)

As you can see my photo taking has gotten La-a-ai-zy. I will try to be unlazier for the show coming this Friday....

one million bathroom soaps

I forgot part of the Chicago show: this is the bathroom of Fifty/50 Gallery

These soaps also came packed in that red suitcase shown earlier.

one million studio soaps in styrofoam

Before I post the Chicago show I thought I'd show some studio shots of the objects I brought as carryon luggage on the plane from Richmond.

None of these are the finished version and this one never made it past the drawing board.
Monica Palma (fellow VCU student) suggested I seek out pink Mexican laundry soap after seeing my soap studio several weeks ago and it was just the addition to my pallette I needed to finally make these things.

one million office arts

Just some more shots of the desk in the south side warehouse.

one million fifty 50s

This is Jimmy and Salime Peterson's gallery in Chicago's west loop.
Casey Jex Smith and I split the space - true to its name.
We called it "Come Come Ye Saints".
Casey couldn't be there but I thought he would enjoy this graffitti:

Using junk found immediately outside the gallery I built a companion form to the ones structuring Casey's drawing on the left.



Casey's drawings looked awesome as per usual.



A crowd favourite of the evening.
I was really into these two brand new ones.

That's my suitcase with "Traveling Bilds" in the background.
And a close-up of the finished pieces.


I had some photos of outdoor installations
some of which were pinned to the ceiling with my two stacks.


My part of the show turned out, unexpectedly, heavy on the video and photography.
I think I need to find some better photos before I can explain this tall sculpture to y'all. Such bad photos...I'll be editing this post once I get a hold of some better shots.
