Pretty Mary K

New painting! I've had art ADD lately, with 3 paintings going on at the same time simultaneously. I'm currently engrossed in a new abstract piece.

New Painting-- Blackbird Fly

I did this painting in memorial to my uncle, Michael "Spyder" McGuire. He passed away after courageously battling stage four cancer for several months. I tried to incorporate Beatles imagery in this painting because he absolutely adored them, especially George Harrison (my favorite too). Spyder was a brilliant, sweet human being and an inspiration to me in so many ways. Just listening to George Harrison's "Isn't it a Pity" reminds me how much I miss him.

I hate the snow

But... I love this book! This single-handedly saved me during this so-called "blizzard". So did the Elliott smith video torrent I finally downloaded.

winter weather warning bummer.

I just received the best birthday present ever; Strange Waltz. It's an Elliott Smith compilation DVD with the documentary Strange Parallel, two fan-shot concerts and Tv appearances on SNL, Letterman and Conan O'Brien. This compilation is great, and even the fan-shot video has surprisingly good audio quality. I absolutely love it, and Interscope/Dreamworks should definitely green-light an official concert DVD. Elliott's music deserves to be heard and seen by a larger audience.


I'm stuck in the house since the roads are covered in snow, so I figure I'll finish reading Nausea.

Aint got the power anymore

sunday morning french movies

I'm watching Regular Lovers, and it's pretty good. Its a new wave french film with lots of gorgeous Gallic actors and actresses (e.g. Louis Garrel). It's absolutely perfect for this overcast day.

"Strung Out Again" in progress

Updated version of the painting in the previous post. I still intend on adding strings hanging from the hand and some feathers to give it texture

Edit:: It's Finished! I just need to seal it
