A Paper Zinnia


 I made a paper zinnia.



 I don't have it anymore because I gave it away tonight on stage to David Byrne after dancing like a banshee during the encore at Amanda Palmer's show in Brooklyn.

here, he's holding it in his left hand with his guitar (you can't see it, but I saw)

I can't even begin to describe my gratitude for David Byrne being on this planet doing what he does.  I will say Talking Heads Speaking in Tongues was my first album ever... at age 7.  From there on, words fail and paper petals pick up the slack.

much gratitude to amanda palmer and superkate

Art Hanging in London: Amanda Palmer Tour

Amanda Palmer ruffled everybody's can-of-worms when she raised 1.2 million on her Kickstarter for her new album with The Grand Theft Orchestra called Theatre is Evil.  Part of the bundle she was promoting was a bunch of art commissioned by a bunch of artists inspired by individual songs from the album (or not). That art is being collected into a published book later this year and is currently accompanying her rock tour with a gallery tour in six cities across the globe as we speak.  I did a couple pieces for it.

here's a shot from the London show at Underground Village taken by @Emily_pink

The art comes stateside at the end of the month to Brooklyn NY.

Ray Fenwick sent out a call to help him get closer to manifesting infinite variations of his logo.


I scanned in my hankie and got to work. Here's my contribution to the cause:
