Holiday Show & Taos
I haven't blogged in almost two months. Damn. The past couple of months have been busy, I guess. My neighbors and I put together a little show on December 4th and here are some pictures from the reception. This is the entrance to the Guán with some exterior illumination.
A couple of Brenda's pieces.
Linda's "I am a Fox."
Greg's landscape studies are beautiful.
Angie's wall of super cool drawings and etchings.
Close-up. My camera sucks.
My wall.
Ricky Turbo 3-D.
Suzie looking at one of my pieces with the Ricky Turbo 3-D effect.
I'm gonna plug myself now...This is "Identity Crisis" Woodcut.
"My First Kiss" Mixed Media.
"Woman in the Aspens" Woodcut.
"Somewhere Between Roswell and Carlsbad" Mixed Media.
Gold 9ers jacket and PBR. The show was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who stopped by.
Suzie, thanks for the Pizza.
Later on that night, my friends Kristian and Carrie arrived from L.A., just in time for the show.
We partied pretty hard (that's what she said) (wait, that doesn't make sense), and the Hand-Hug was introduced to me.
Lot's of man-love happened that night, I can't explain it.
The next day I woke everyone up early for a day trip to Taos. Surprised by my combination of enthusiasm and hangover-d-ness, everyone actually took me seriously. I couldn't let my friends K & C leave the Fe without seeing my favorite place. Here's Kristian just after parking the car with the mountains at his back.
Cool wall of the St. Francis de Asis Church.
Front of church. It's so marshmellowy.
A short walk from the church, Angie took us to Dennis Hopper's former residence,
the Mabel Dodge Luhan House. It was a very scenic stroll through Taos' back-roads.
Kristian and Carrie were lovin' it.
There's the crib. It was my first time there, too. Pretty much the coolest place to live in the world.
Step in to the dining area...
Or perhaps the study with the spear-head like door, darling.
Outside, there were the largest birdhouses I've ever seen. Kinda creepy, but very cool.
After learning that Desserts is Stressed spelled backwards from Dennis Hopper's kitchen,
We walked over to the Eske's Brew Pub for some local fare. Here is what was on tap. I got the Mr. Personality.
Yummy. Strong. We went ahead and got the sampler, too.
That lunch was incredibly fun. We were all delirious and hungover, laughing at everything and nothing, you know, that kind of day. At one point, I think both Angie and Carrie cried from the laughter. Anywho, we ordered lunch, Kristian got "the Fatty"
(that's what she said)....
....and guess what I got? Green Chile Buffalo Burger, shocker.
The girls got regular burgers so I didn't photograph their food. Sorry.
After lunch we hit the road for the Rio Grande Gorge. Kristian was driving.
Never seen this rest area interactive survey before.
The Gorge. Beautiful. I swear, man, Taos is magical. I arrive feeling like a rock (that's what she said, but seriously though) and I leave feeling like a heavy sponge soaked with Taos love. Maybe I was still drunk. No, I've felt like that before in Taos.
It's just too pretty.
El Rio Grande.
Graffiti on the Gorge rails.
The Ricky Turbo 3-D Sponge pose at sunset.
The happy gang.
It was cold and windy, but it doesn't matter when you are within that kind of landscape.
bye bye sun...
And with the sun went the weekend. It was an epic one. I heard through the grapevine that K & C are coming back real soon, the Fe must have left and impression on 'em. Oh, and if you are interested in any prints, just holler. Gotta go, my Bro is here! Everyone have a nice holiday weekend and I'm sending love to all the people that love me back via the roots on the trees in Pandora...
