Send me something you made…
18Jan10So on December 16th I posted on twitter “Do you want to send me something you have made? I would like it.. and I will send you a grab bag of things I have made in return…” – well, I’ve started to receive things from people.
Pretty awesome that people are willing to send me stuff.. hopefully they won’t be upset when they realize they are getting artwork from me..
First package I got was from Anna Janosik. Anna sent me a mask, a homemade box and a card with a print of a painting she did. I came in contact with Anna through the world of Twitter.. make sure to check out her work.
Second package I got was from Brandt Hardin. Brandt sent a sweet framed drawing of his. Brandt’s one of the hardest working artist I know from back home, you should check out his website and support him.
Third package I got was from Kelly Poole. Kelly sent me sweet homemade domestic goods. She sent a duster, a pot/pan scrubbie, a veggie scrubbie, and some sweet coasters with cats on them. Shelley got mad that she couldn’t start using everything right away because I had to photograph them…
I’ll be sending out grab bag packages to all my friends who’ve sent me stuff so far after Shelley and I get back from her birthday mini-vacation to Disneyworld.. staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge! If anyone else wants to be send me stuff let me know.. I’ll trade you addresses.
Miami is a weird place.
03Dec09Currently I’m in Miami during Art Basel (Miami Beach, not Switzerland). I’m working for Graphicstudio who has a booth at the INK art fair. I’ve seen a good deal of bad art, hipsters and Euro trash over the first couple of days I’ve been here.
I have seen a couple of cool things for sure.. Including Peanut Butter Wolf performing a VJ set (though Dr. Dre never showed up while I was there). This whole art fair scene is way weird to me, but a lot of things are. I just don’t get the way fake nature of everything and everyone around here… Oh well.
This thing was pretty cool. It was at the Scope art fair, though I have no idea who made it. It made lots of fun noises.
Alright. My throat is starting to really hurt. I think after my shift is over at two o’clock I might venture to the Walgreens, get some Robotussin and take a long medicated nap in my hotel room.
Greed is Good.
12Sep09So the show has gone up and down this week.. a quick turnaround is the name of the game. Here are a few photos from the reception.. Barry and I will be doing a performance in Tampa on October 8th and then again on October 23rd in Mobile Alabama at SECAC.. then where will F+J be? I’m not sure.. either are you.
Feel free to visit the site and download all the collateral from the show and remix, redit, and reinvent. I’ll be adding to fladryplusjones.com and this weekend I’ll be sending out posters to those of you who sent your address to us via the Twitter account twitter.com/fladryplusjones.
Special thanks to all who helped get this show in order, without you I would have been sitting around with a box of posters on the ground. Also thanks to Chris Otten for the photos.
RIP DJ AM.

In case you didn’t hear.. DJ AM died on Friday..
Weird news. He was kind of a legend in the party scene.. not really the best DJ around, but the best at what he did. If you haven’t heard the colab he did with Travis Barker, go do yourself a favor and download them. http://trvsdjam.com/
Rest In Peace AM.
