Dear Zach Braff,
Can I call you Zach? Thanks, So I just wanna say that I don't blame you in any way about the disappointment of The Last Kiss.I get what your trying to do with your acting career,I really do. I mean that whole brooding pre midlife crisis thing you do is great. You have the look to perfection.I really did like you in that movie.I just didn't like the movie.I really really wanted too.I was even in one of those moods to see a movie like this. I myself was having a day where I was suffering from 30's angst.I can't quite put my finger on it,where it all went wrong.At first I thought it was the directing.Also I found no chemistry between you and that Rachel girl.Then at one point I was freaking out about the lighting and how could they shoot you from so many wrong angles. Then towards the end it dawned on me what was wrong.In that scene where your on the porch it's raining (enough with the rain already please don't have rain in any more films) and your there on the porch and your lady is telling you about her grandparents and you say.."But we're not dead" That right there..that was the point in the film where I realized..what the fuck, who wrote this?? I want to see what you'll do next.I think you do have talent even though loads of people will say your only good on TV, Fuck'em right.Might I make a suggestion..for your next role maybe not listen to so much depressing music. I think this in some way influences your choices.A little less Emo and perhaps more musicals.
Best Wishes,
M

a BIG rant,with my angry voice

Harvest came and gone...so starts my rant .
After days and days of hard work.Her installation went up at the gallery.
We had a little party at the house to toast her and her art.Which by the way was spectacular to finally see..Meaning very eye catching and sweet (wink wink) to look at in all it's glory. I think those who saw it really enjoyed it and she got some good responses..I think, I hope.Here begins my rant.
Knowing I am about to open a gallery soon.I pay close attention to the galleries in my area.How the run, work,the artists, the curators,exhibitions and overall vibe of the place. I was really worried about how I want my space to be and run. How I want to be different.I was concerned that I was making mistakes before I've even opened. After Saturday I feel some what confident in my decisions to be different in how I will run things.Or maybe it's not me it's just this gallery and how they run things.
Here is what happened... Someone broke a part of Harvest's artwork.Her installation had a small figure that stod at the base of it and some woman came along and kicked it and broke off the head. Now accidents happen and Harvest was the first to acknowledge this was an accident (she was way more calmer then I would have ever been).Here is what made me livid though.This lady just walked away.She just turned away and shrugged it off. She damaged the work in front of the artist and the gallery owners and walked out not saying anything!! Fucking insane huh! What made things worse was that the curators or owners did NOTHING! They just let this woman walk away.I find this incredibly irresponsible and lacking any professionalism. So I did what any friend would do.I chased the woman down and yelled at her.Telling her what she did was rude and inexcusable. Her lame excuse as it wasnt her fault.That they should have taped it to the ground.I yelled at her about her obvious lack gallery etiquette.That one must be aware of their space when walking into a gallery especially when there is installation peices.I told her she was responsible and either had to pay for the damage to get fixed or pay for the piece in whole.BUT the LEAST she had to do was walk in there and apologize to the artist. Which I would not let her go till she did this.Not only was she rude to the artist. We found out she owns an antique store.So when asked if we were to go into her store and break someting what would she do?.Now i can almost understand the fear she might have had.The fact that she gets caught ruining a piece of art. Here is where my anger comes in.The gallery..They just didnt step up.First they should have never let that lady walk out they should have made sure she paid for the piece or the damage (instead they glued it back together).Every gallery should have insurance. what really erks me is their obvious lack of concern for the artist.They were just concerned about what they could and couldnt sell and since they could sell the work on the wall and maybe not the installation they piad no mind to Harvest.Funny thing is the lady who broke part of Harvests work was a relative of the other artist. When I asked the gallery owners what they would have done if someone would have bumped into the wall causeing the work from the wall to fall or break or crack,what would they have done? They would have made whomever ruined it pay for it. Well???? I have a total disrespect for this gallery now.As well as I am the one who introduced Harvest to them,so i feel like i should take some blame in there somewhere.I think the only thing that saved the weekend for Harvest was Disneyland..Any thoughts? What would you have done? I have better pictures coming soon.

Harvest in California

I spread the word of Harvest Henderson from Portland.Who has her first LA exhbition,
Saturday October 21st @ Black Maria Gallery.Located in Atwater Village
on Glendale Blvd.

Even though she is currently in my back studio, I have only a vague idea of her installation. I want to be surprised. So if you're around you should come out.

Pictures to come....

ohhh Charlotte

She's on my "before I die I must photograph" list.I am in such awe of her in everyway. It's a cross between a school girl crush and green eyed envy.She's just so fucking cool.I couldnt be any happier about this..Must get TOMORROW!
What I would give to just have her over for tea.The worst part is when the hubby brags that he taught her how to do handstands when they were teens..damn him

to do lists and bad moods

I'm asking santa for the new Bresson Book
Bob Dylan is 5 days away and counting.....
Harvest has her first LA exhibition Saturday
Please show up and support.Introduce yourself,enjoy the art and free drinks,
why not? What else do you have planned?

Bought three new books today. I drove all the way there only to forget what book i orginally went for so I could do this.Tomorrow I will head to the library to check it out so I can be a part of these fools.
I will get hate mail for saying this probably.But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that I am really starting to get bored of the "anything is art" statement that so many artist use. Because of this statement people get away with producing such crap and then calling it art.Well it's not!It's such a lame excuse for not learning.I won't get into it.If you feel like you'd want to talk about it more then drop me an email instead.Maybe I'll even answer it,maybe not though.

The only reason to become an D-list celebrity..oh a girl could dream!

Please stop fat chicks from wearing mini skirts with leggings.

I think I'm in a bad mood

I'm behind...

I know,I've been naughty..

The gallery site is up.Still in the baby steps phase.I will accept all feedback,good or bad.

I promise that my break will end soon.My excuses are as follows

We all got Bronchitis/colds in our house.
The gallery has kept my mind whirling.
I now have a child that can almost walk.
Summer is ending and I am enjoying this fine weather while it lasts.

Oh yeah..I wil be living in London for while,starting December..So now I have a whole new lists of to do's...
