A few weeks ago me and a few others sought out studio space downtown. This is a photo from Downtown Visions open house, us looking at spaces. Yesterday the space we had are eyes on was made official. Still trying to think of a name. This is actually a picture of the spot we decided on.

Two day ago making the new A.N.T.E Up posters.

About 10 years ago I bought this bike for $1700. My plan was to just leave town and ride to Utah. I remember getting rid of everything I owned so I could fit everything in a backpack and hit the road. I bought the bike with a credit card and expecting to pay it off later, it was only $1700. I never left I can't remember why. I think the place I worked for needed me and they had kids so I couldn't leave them at the time. So I was new to credit cards and at first started paying the monthly payments. I was late once and interest jumped to %18, we all know the story. 10 years later I was still paying for the bike. Last year and close to $20,000 later I finally made my last payment. 7 years ago I put the bike in my dad's garage because it discussed me that I was still paying for it, I didn't want to see it. Last week I got it back. I think it's a little to flashy for just riding around town. I also feel like taking sandpaper to the pearl paint job so you can see the aluminum.

Sometimes I will have so many things going one and for some reason I can only think about on thing. I had to try to make a wooden robot. The idea is to have a art show and this be the blank everyone gets to paint or turn into their artistic preference. The robot cost a little over five dollars a piece to make.

It's been a month since I went to my dad's to see him and also get my mail.

(The only reason I get maxin is because I had a subscription to Details they stop making it and replaced my final issues with Maxim.)

So I will never see it because I don't plan on opening it.

So I have owned something for about 13 years now, 3 cases of old slides containing about 6000 photos. I acquired them from the old folks home I worked at. I believe it was one of those cases were the person passes away and no one alive is there to collect the their belongings or if there is does care to. The people cleaning out the house didn't know what to do with them and at the time for some reason I was the person people at my workplace thought of as a artist and they gave them to me. For years they have been in my dad's attic and not to long ago I got them back and started to scan a few. The slides remind me of a lot of things, one I feel like I have something that is to be a value at least to someone. There are pictures in these cases from the 50's to the late 70's and they are taken by someone that was taking pictures at a time most people didn't have camera's, possibly for a news or magazine source. He was obviously wealthy and the pictures cover most every major city in the world. I would hopefully like to return them to the family if there is one. I would love to see my grandfathers old pictures if he had a collection like this. The other thing is I think I might have become a lot like this guy as far as taking so many pictures.



All the photos are numbered and titled some are dated. This is titled Bing Crosby at The Seminole Golf Club. Thought I would upload a set to show you a small example of the pictures. Click to see set.
