A few weeks ago, I posted Adam, 1977, a magnificent piece of art that I cannot bring myself to throw away, even as I hide it in a drawer, unsure of what exactly I am supposed to do with it. Here is the sequel. The only comment my Mother made upon giving this to […] This faucet was a present from a friend – and it is just whimsical enough that I installed it high on the wall, just outside my bedroom wall. I actually use the hook under the faucet to hand shirts that are fresh back from the laundry. Wait… the last time I had shirts at […] This is a hand drawn map showing the route that Ahmed Alali took from Damascus to Berlin over the course of 38 days in 2015. He was escaping the war in Syria. When I photographed this drawing, I thought to myself, “oh this will be easy – I’ve written about it before, I can […] The artplate displayed – as it is both a magnificent piece of art and a plate one can dine off of – is drawn by one of the 20th century’s greatest unknown artists. Me. Apparently, it was a thing to give children markers and tell them to draw, turning the resulting thing into a […] I bought this piece of art at the Winterfeldtmarkt a few years ago – I have no idea how much I paid for it, but it was probably 20€ or less. The backside has a small sticker indicating it is from Jannis Miniaturwelten, Berlin, along with the URL: http://www.jannis-miniaturwelten.de/ — which still works.

While there’s a lot of good things to say about the Freedom Trail in theory (great idea!), practically speaking, it has many issues. Certainly, I enjoyed many moments on the trail, including seeing this statue of Paul Revere with the famous North Church […] This painting, Whisky with a View, currently hangs above my whisk(e)y collection. I bought it directly from Julie Galante, the artist, for £100 plus £12 shipping and handling in August 2016. There are quite a few things that this painting reminds me: the obvious whisk(e)y connection, sitting above my whisk(e)y collection, the glimpse of […] I bought the above turquoise bracelet in 2013 while visiting New Mexico – the same trip when I bought Whatchamacallit 18, the Navajo Plant Dye Chart. As I’ve noted before, I am not really a huge jewelry person, rarely wearing it. This is one of those things that I rarely wear. That’s not to say […] Back in the summer of 2001, I visited one of my friends who was, for that summer, doing an internship (I believe that is the correct word) with an organization near Lafayette, Louisiana. While visiting we did a number of cool things, including going to the 13th Annual “Le Cajun” Cajun Music Association Festival […] This is one of two paintings I have by Sivaluaq, both acquired during my trip to Alaska in January/February 2015. I paid $69.95 (plus tax) for this one while waiting to board my United flight from Anchorage back to Denver, en route to Berlin. It is on caribou skin. Sivaluaq, also known as Jerry […] |
