PG-13

this past week, two friends of my housemates were visiting from nyc. one a medical/phd student at cornell studying in manhatten (conner), the other 'an artist' living in brooklyn (mat). so in conversation with 'the artist,' i asked what he did to survive that place, his job, etc. oh... he just paints and draws. are you kidding me? i have met someone from new york who just has to paint in order to get by. it actually exists.

his stuff is GOOD. the guy in the drawing below is the doctor-friend, conner, who was also visiting. i can't emphasize how strikingly similar the drawing is to the that dude. it's insane. (conner is the subject of a number of his other pieces as well)...



here's his website: http://mathewcerletty.com/

i warn you (i.e. family), there's a bit of nudity, creepy and bizarre in there. so don't enter if you're slightly faint of heart. but it's totally worth the clicks and perusal.

he's been discussed in the freaking new yorker and art forum, for pete's sake. forget about it.

*'the twins before the accident' is exactly what mat looks like
*my living room is depicted in 'last chance dance,' when he lived in our apt

i have added more san francisco photos to my collection. *see link to the right*

will is a nice boy and i hope all of you are enjoying the long-awaited return of diane y rupa. drink a beverage for me.
