New Dolls for Art Murmur

   Tomorrow night is the Oakland First Friday Art Walk called Art Murmur.  I will be squatting a patch of concrete with new dolls.

New Dolls at Rock Paper Scissors Collective

Today my partner James, his daughters Somi and Penelope, and I biked to Rock Paper Scissors to drop off some dolls.  This is my first time doing consignment with RPS, so hopefully it goes well.  Rock Paper Scissors is an all volunteer run collective that sells local handmade crafts, has art shows, and offers classes on various topics.  You can check them out at http://rpscollective.com.  New dolls for art murmur soon.

The Hellarity House Works

    The Hellarity House is debatably the longest running squat in the bay area.  It's been open for about 15 years to activists, anarchists, punks, hippies, queers, wingnuts, and just about everyone in between as a home, a place to stay while traveling, a resource center for showers, food, literature, internet, and it has been my home since moving to Oakland in January of last year.

    Currently Hellarity is in danger of closure.  The current owner has been attempting to file an ejection against the residents (an ejection is a form of eviction) and has been trying to sue certain residents from past and present that are on the court case.  If it comes to pass that Hellarity is shut down, over 20 people will lose their home, including myself, and the bay area will lose a landmark.

    I wanted to document some of the artwork I have done in the house since moving their since the house, and all the art in it, might be gone soon.

Stuff for Sacramento Art Walk

All of this I put together in a week, after Art Murmur in Oakland on first friday for the Second Saturday art walk in Sacramento.  Most material came from the purple house freebox, and stuffing came from a giant pink stuffed dog found on the street.  The wood was found in the backyard of the Hellarity House, and the paint was bought by my sweetheart James or donated from my friend Chris.  This is my new blog, by the way.  I will be putting up photos of done art projects.
