My insanely talented pal Laura Park had this comic featured yesterday on Illustration Friday.  She’s listening to my song!  Laura did all the lettering & drawings on my last album It’s a Game.

My pal Davina Pallone, the gal who did the artwork for my Demos album, has a lovely new website up… it’s still under construction but you can take a look at a few of her amazing paintings.  Your web browser cannot really convey the HUGENESS of her work in person but it’s a good start.  :-) It’ll be neat later on when she posts more of her drawings and photos and gallery stuff; girlfriend’s done some pretty ambitious installations.

A present from Laura Park.  :-) Did I tell y’all she’s doing all the lettering and drawings for my new album?  It kicks ass, you’ll see.

I dreamed that a guy named NATHAN GRABOWSKI (that’s right, NATHAN GRABOWSKI) did a big coffee-table book of photography on me.  Well, kind of… it was about half photos of me and half trippy nature photos.  I was looking at the book in my dream and I remembered that the guy had followed me around for a day wandering around the beach, in the woods etc.  He wasn’t a hipster guy but more like a rumpley-coat sports photographer or something.  He took kickass pictures though.

I just Googled him, and no luck.  I have no idea how I came up with that name.  I want my own art book, just like Madonna!!  Oh pardon me, Esther.

Added some lovely photos by Debra A. Zeller, of our 4/19/2002 show at the Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco.  She has a website called Playing In Fog with lots more kickass live-music photography on display.

John got me out of the house today and took me to see an art exhibit down in Pilsen.  We went there to see Frida Kahlo paintings but ended up seeing a lot more too.  I was really stunned, I had never paid attention to her stuff before.  A couple of them brought tears to my eyes and I couldn’t even tell you why.  We saw this one and this one and this one, but the one that I loved the most was this.  My favorite Diego painting was this one.  So beautiful.  But I gotta say, these web-pictures don’t do the real things justice at ALL.  You gotta see them in real life.
