Eric Davis’s narratives are blunt, in simple prose, and they feel real to me. I was glad to mix his excepts in with my drawings as if they were intercepted conversations.

it’s britney bitch!
this is a limited edition print of Britney Spears, all handmade and individually retouched and numbered. There’s a total of 20 with 2 artist’s proofs, each measures 15 x 21.5 in (39 x 55cm).
I made some money with them, sold about half at a recent event; but what I would rather make is new friends. So If you want one then send me something you would like to trade for the print. I will accept anything that you think is reciprocal or more valuable than this piece.
Keep in mind that I don’t mean market value here, since the worth of this transaction will happen outside economic markets and in a sacred place between you and me :)
so if you are interested shoot me an email over at ~ lnylnylny AT gmail DOT com ~ and we can exchange post addresses.
p.s. I would really like some CDs, LPs or any kind of music!! oh and full picture inside:
blog
blog is Jamian Julliano-Villani’s collaboration with amalgama ind. first we discussed making a project from her recent work, all of which she is already blogging as it’s conceived, so it seemed interesting to make an actual material book from her blog. turning one kind of cataloging (digital) into material (a zine) and then into digital again (the .pdf download)… post-modern mind-fuck was the other title I was considering. some pics from the launch night here.

Alexander Conner and I went to school together. Our friendship matured over arguments for our reasons for making, our passions, our vices.
We now live in different continents and the conversation continues here.

Emotional Map Project
if your motions through your day created an emotion, what type of emotion would that be?
How does this emotion sit on top of a map and color it, texture it, give it shape? If your home were an eyeball and you were the retina, what information would it take in, your home being the nexus of your map? Job? School? Play?
Who do you want to fuck within a 10 mile radius? Do their physical appearances form a pattern? What would a google map of sex look like for you?
How does your map contain you? if you were to redraw your prison, what would it look like?
Help us draw a map of the places that move you, add interesting points of reference, images, stories, descriptions, music or whatever else these places inspire or mean to you.
