molntuss ragnar bob hund

Jan.31.2011

my beautiful swedish girl friend milene visited ny last december with her boy friend jonnie and a swedish friend artist ragnar.
i asked him to put some swedish word on my phone with his label maker.

molntuss

sofia told me that word reminded her of a song from bob hund.
for the first time i watched bob hund.

my first swedish friend oscar lent me their cds and i used to listen to them heavily for 4-5 years. I was 21 or 22.
he told me they were really cool and crazy and for over 10 years i had had a picture in my head; a wild, huge, hairy singer. but he was not.

all my swedish friends i know love bob hund. all of them. i love this music video.

ufo 907 afternoon visit

Jan.11.2011

ufo
he is my favorite artist and person in brooklyn.
this wonderful human being makes wonderful art.
he’s been working on this 3.5×5? wood panel for years and will probably keep working on it in his life to create one and only art piece.
all the details are amazing and i i really hope they will be shown to public soon.

each piece is so indivisual and he’s got so many already and it’s gonna be more and more.

this is shiva ufo. hahaha—

quiet snowy night like tonight here in brooklyn ufo

and- of course, his wife is as great as he is. they make such a good couple and i love hanging out with them so much.
thank you.

謹賀新年

Jan.02.2011

a happy new year

i had been working on this giant bunny photo to put on my sliding closet doors and a few days ago i realized it was a year of rabbit this year

then i decided to make a self portrait to send a greeting card but i am not good at modeling for myself
ugh

golden bunny

finally
these days

it feels like learning to stand on my own feet
and
i keep trying to be as truthful with myself as i can

i have met many great people in the past couple of years (and plus)
and i really appreciate they are a part of my life and a part of my art

i hope this year brings you a great deal of inspiration, understanding, growth, success, happiness and happiness and growth and sunshine

don’t compromise

i am looking forward to seeing you everyone

sit on the bench in fort green park
under the trees,
have some lavender tea at coffee shop in green point
fix my esl english
eat soup in my apartment
go see local concerts
pick up drift woods on west side
listen to records
and want you to show me what you love

share your life and love with all your friends and earth

no plastic!
