I have a couple of friends (photography nerds, if you will) named Richard and Henry. They started an awesome photo project they are calling “The People We Encounter”. Richard is making a book out of the all portraits and asking the subjects to do something next to their portrait. I did a little india ink painting.
For more info about their project please take a look at their blog: weencounterpeople.wordpress.com/.
Enjoy!
About a week and a half ago Patrick and Henry came into the gallery asking if I wanted something of mine in a video they were making. Well, of course I do, I responded. If you’ve been in the gallery then you’ve seen the floaty head things I have hanging from the ceiling. Or rather from the large pipe that runs across the ceiling of the gallery. Anyway, I gave them some floaty head things to use. When they returned the heads later I invited myself to tag along with them as they continued filming throughout the night.

So, I’m in the gallery hanging artwork last week when Henry and Kelly stop by. If I remember correctly our conversation went from Where The Wild Things Are to the new waffles at Bel Frites to coffee shops to napkin stores to the fact that if you’re a squirrel (male or female) you are always thinking about nuts to a number of other things that aren’t directly related. At some point Henry asked if I would draw on his arm. I pulled out the trusty Krink and did this speedy little gem.
