aim high

Print by David Shrigley

bought this print by david shrigley from his ybca exhibit called "brain activity". it's kinda moronic in its simplicity and crudity (as most of his works are). i just like it because it says if you aim too high you're likely to miss the point entirely.

anyhoo. the print is called "aim high" and according to the ybca site:
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is proud to announce a new limited edition woodblock print by David Shrigley. The print is 22 1/2" x 16 1/2" on Hahnemühle Copperplate 300gr paper, printed at Kala Art Institute in an edition of 250 signed and numbered by the artist.

was surprised to find out that it costs more to have it framed in the simplest possible type (am guessing my choice to make the framing of the "archival" type made it more so). maybe i've just gotten too used to disposable ikea frames.

the house of trixxx

i have been both very busy and very lazy at the same time. busy because i've been banging like a madman on my keyboard, working on a full-feature-length screenplay. very lazy because in doing research, i've been spending a lot of time on my ass watching movies, tv episodes, and documentaries on the subject of the screenplay via netflix. i've also been reading books and watching dvd's i borrowed from san francisco public library (photo above is my library card).

no, it's not a paid gig, i'm doing it on my own and for myself. keeping myself occupied.

the status: i am temporarily calling it "the house of trixxx". yes, it's about what it sounds like it's about.

it is now completely outlined and i've fleshed out almost half of it.

the plan: i'd probably want to do a an amateur no-budget movie out of this. or more likely, a web series. i'd probably post a kickstarter fundraiser for this project end of this year or early next.

the why: because!!! and why am i telling you this? because if i didn't, i'd be too chicken to make anything of this when i'm done writing it (or worse, i might not finish writing it). so there.
