MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

This is a page from one of my favorite magazines, Instyle. It compares pieces from both rocker and surfer perspectives... it reminded me of my girl Jackie's ("Olear") style. I painted this for Marianna, a friend of mine who just turned 90. The single flower (in between the two trios of flowers) represents her unique character that only she can possess. These are the chocolate party favors from Marianna's bday party... there's something else I should try. I painted this for my cousins Livia and Sylvia, the best twins in the hairstyling buisness I know and that's real. It says, "Capelli by Gemelli", which means Hair by Twins. I moved my art eisel downstairs in the basement next to the treadmill. As I painted "Capelli by Gemelli",it acted something like a nightstand. This is a picture that has traveled from cell to cell over the past 4 years or so. It's my brother and I on our porch. I remember that orange polo Ma bought me from Abercrombie. Told ya I went through mad phases. On Wednesday we took Marianna out to lunch. I finally put on the press-on nail tips I bought in the city one time. They really did look like 50 cents. Marianna loved them. Yesterday Pop grilled the rest of the sea bass he caught not too long ago...in the thunderstorm of New Jersey. 42nd and 2nd at 8:30 this morning was packed. Tough on the outside and pretty mostly on the inside... that's why I love rockin some leather with soft pieces like the red top. Bebe had some mint get-ups lemme tell you. Fur gal-our. For authentic and unique pieces, thrift shops are where it's at. Ma's accumulation of buttons has been completly utilized to add to my jewlery collection. I've made a ton of bracelets, rings and necklaces with the cheap string I bought on Broadway last week. My mother's old buttons to funk up my get-ups forever... what's better than that ? Plus I'm reminded of our passion for accessories.
