preview the pieces here!

20% of the proceeds from the show gets donated to Equality California,
an organization that work to make equal marriage rights for all people.
luckily for all their efforts, there was a really good news this week!

...................................................

the show opens tomorrow, and above is my piece for it.
it's probably a little different than my other pieces, although these days,
i'm not even positive what that means.
it's been a great summer to be cooped up experimenting, in lieu of the summer fun.
seems like i've been much more focused on faces lately.

...................................................

the colors of the stripeyness came from reading about "saek dong",
a traditional korea color combination of 5 or more colors, possibly meant to keep the evils at bay.
also seen in bojagi art which i find amazing...
(i will post more about this some time).

...................................................

i titled the piece above Magic Mountain, but i just wanted to clarify it has nothing to do with the six flags in california. >_<
i was listening to blonde redhead's song of the same title,
and thought of titling the piece after it...

here are the lyrics :

At magic mountain
Nobody sings today
Nobody speaks today
Close my eyes
And hope to see
Weeks go by like a day
In a lowland

I live up on magic mountain
No one leaves magic mountain

At magic mountain
Nothing changes
Everything stays the same
Cross my heart
And hope to live
All the time
With a little fever

I stay here on magic mountain
No one leaves magic…

My heart hears you sing
My heart hears you speak
But I never make it in the flatlands
I must stay on magic mountain
