A few days ago I had the opportunity to take some photos of Jack Early’s newest installation, Ear Candy Machine, at Brooklyn’s South First Gallery.

Meant to post this a while back.
For the past few days I’ve been working and residing with an artist couple, Joe & Joanna Swayze, in Rockport, Massachusetts. I will be creating websites for the both of them along with digitalizing their work. Below are some of the images i’ve been working on.

It’s Friday night. For you, I offer an excerpt from The Energy of Slaves:
“You are almost always with someone else
I’m going to burn down your house
and fuck you in the ass
If you have the presence of mind
to look over your shoulder
you’ll see me swooning
Why don’t you come over to my table
with no pants on
I’m sick of surprising you.”
Old L. Cohen is never old.
Dare, enjoy.
“You can never be sure of the people you know when they don’t want to show you their sadness”

Luke Rathborne will be playing every Tuesday night this August. I highly reccomend you stop by once or twice if you are in the city. And the shows are free, so what do you have to lose?

Rathborne recently recorded material in New York with members of Antony & The Johnsons’ band, The Johnsons. Opening acts for the show will be Rain Phoenix’s “Papercranes” supporting her new album. ”

“..Like Bob Dylan, Lou Reed or Will Oldham, why should you expect anything else but constant haunting, and engaging development.” – TheFanzine.com
“strange… melancholic.. Rathborne has assembled a diverse septet of players for this show” – Village Voice
