i tend to be a runner. i like efficiency. do it. get it done. and get it done as quickly as possible. run to the places you need to go. but i think maybe i've had it all wrong.... maybe you should walk to some of the places. because you're gonna get there all the same, and when you walk you can take in so much more of the scenery. there is a time for running and a time for walking. I'm gonna work on my walking for a while.....

One of my favorite photos from this day, the traffic guard came over and asked me what all these flamingoes were about. She even asked me if I'm the one who planted them there! It's cool how she's at the same angle as the flamingoes. When I saw her pop up in my viewfinder, I used my non-camera hand and waved while my camera hand snapped the shutter.

More like Transformer face. This was totally an Autobot's face. In fact, I bet the artist made it as one of the faces of a Transformer, but then someone else came along and said it's Beethoven's mask.
There was a long three paragraph description on the caption, but I didn't bother reading it. This is a transformer face if I ever saw one.

The most inspiring artwork at ArtChicago this year. This 8-foot wide canvas is massive with an equally massive subject. I've been thinking about going back to making paintings, but I didn't know what to paint. Now I know. Not just bridges, but massive architecture.
I really like all the methods of painting Alexey uses. The scraping, patching, swipes, splatters, washes. All done to give solid volume. A solid mass. I really like the strength of this painting.
Many people walked by and commented on how they liked the painting. They would look for 5 seconds and then walk on. Which is fine. But when you investigate this painting and all the techniques used, this painting becomes captivating. One of the things about artwork is the empathy the artist can envoke through the evidence of creation. That is, the signs of how the work is created. That's why Pollock's work is so captivating.
With this painting Alexey is definitely in the same class with Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Gerhard Richter, and Anselm Kiefer.
This painting is being sold at ArtChicago 2011 by the Art-Kvartal Gallery, Moscow
59x98
$28,000

It’s the evening of December 28. Dinner has been cooked and consumed, with dishes washed (mostly) and leftovers put away. I’m now sitting at my dining room table filling a notebook with random thoughts about life and love, while the Christmas tree lights glow and the music of Miles Davis swirls around the house, filling any sad or empty spaces in my head.

Today was Chicago's first sixty degree day in 2011. When I was at the beach during lunch, I had to touch the water to welcome in Spring.
I have to admit, it was strange watching the water rolling onto the shore, because it reminded me of the tsunami in Japan. Of course the waves coming in on Lake Michigan aren't from Japan. But I was imagining that they were.

The thought of getting lost in life gets back more frequently these days.
I keep doing random stuffs when I am supposed to do other things e.g. making lame posters instead of writing essays or designing a time-consuming powerpoint background instead of actually preparing the presentation.
Is it me who's actually good at nothing or is it just my journey of passion seeking too long?
One thing for sure: I really have to stop procrastinating.
