Kathleen-ercise

kathleen hanna. has there ever been a cuter girl rock star than her? when i saw bikini kill in 1995 i found kathleen unbearable, choosing instead to drink budweiser out of a plastic cup in the lobby underneath pictures of jerry. she bounced incessantly around the stage like a chipmunk on crack, dressed in a red-and-black-stripe toni basil unitard.

then years later i hear le tigre and i can't get enough.

Pink Discussion

guy and i have a discussion on Pink. guy says, I like her. i say, I don't. I say I don't like her because she seems so contrived. guy says, She's manufactured coolness. Like Lenny Kravitz. he says this because he knows i secretly like lenny kravitz. No way, I say. Lenny's style matches his music. Pink seems insincere because her pink mohawk is completely inconsistent with her beyonce sound. the only conclusion you can draw is that both styles are totally fake making her way more fake than Lenny.

guy says, Ok. You have a point there.

that is obviously Advanced Taxonomy.

Unemployed Art 6



another version of the karla drawing.

Unemployed Art 5


this is a drawing of my best friend during sophomore and junior year in college. she's famous in the czech republic but lived in LA her whole life. i lost track of her 13 years ago and can't find her. there's nothing recent about her on the inter-web.

"The Vines." that tells you exactly how old this drawing is. i made it when they had that one big hit song that sounded sort of like nirvana.

(wouldn't it be cool if someone recognized karla and gave her my email? maybe this is a modern day WANTED poster)
(ps. her hair is actually blonde, not pink)

Unemployed Art 4



This illustration had an illustrious life. It went from 2"x3" jpeg on the computer to 32"x48" acrylic painting on the wall.

Later, I traded it for an airline ticket to Hawaii.
