Flea Market Props for Art Film Costumes
Art is alchemy....
Can't wait to transform these elements from the flea market into costumes for my film...
Off to the residency in a matter of days.
So excited!
Hawaii Rock Spirits
I have a panoramic setting on my new camera which captures horizontal scenes by creating slices of reality and gluing them all together. I took this shot in a car and when I looked at the close up I saw I captured an amazing face. I have a close up, and then one with a rough outline to show you where to find it if you don't see it at first. This was taken just after meeting the King of Atooi.
Interview in Resource magazine
Nice little 8 page article on my grandpere, Philippe Halsman, with quotes from me and my mom....

Kingdom of Atooi's new "Minister of Creative Cultural Arts"
Blessed to meet the King of Atooi when I was in Kauai. I asked if I could be the "Minister of Imagination", but I think that was a bit too far out for the Queen..

4th dimensional musical compositions for 13 Crystal Whale Skulls
@ Adobe Books Backroom Gallery on 16th street in SF/CA Dec 2010
-Since 2003 I have been channeling a script, which I felt was musical, but since I do not play any instruments I wasn't quite sure how to decipher it. The script energy began asking to be placed on my body, where invisible energetic lines exist are drawn out. I began doing this 'conscious body art' on myself, as well as therapeutically for others with positive results.
In 2007 Bay Area musician and producer Anahata Pace saw this script and was able to vocalize it (imagine dolphins making love in space). I began to compose linear arrangements for her, and continued to work on healing body glyphs for those I cross paths with [which I have also learned to tattoo permanently on the body due to the volume of requests]. During the opening of my 2010 JAPA show at Triple Base, Anahata sung a 13 foot scroll I composed for her while I was in India.
I call this group of 13 compositions '4th dimensional' because, instead of progressing like a typical linear musical score, the whole song is seen at once. I look forward to one day doing a concept album with Anahata.
here are a selection of pieces from the show (gouache on paper)

The last word....
The sketch/notebook I started in India on 2/10/10 was just completed on 10/10/10 at the 13 Crystal Skull event in NYC. As an artist, I always appreciate peeks into other's creative process, so I decided to share with you some pages that contain doodles, concepts, and sketches from my life over the past 8 months...

getting closer to the point
The "stick and poke" tattoo method uses dots to build up shapes and tones instead of the lines that a tattoo gun makes. Pointalism on the body. Here are some sketches playing with the technique.

S P A C E to P A I N T
NY is great for inspiration...
but suffocating in terms of space...
I felt the urge to paint my cosmic glyph caligraphy large, but with no studio I headed to central park last week with some house paint and a pink Italian sports newspaper and used an amazing amphitheatre as my nomadic NY studio. Met a really sweet man when I was done who was just there to blow big bubbles all day to touch the hearts of kids. If anyone has been following my art, I went thru a whole phase dealing with spheres/bubbles, so it was a wink from the universe to have this guy show up when I was done. Ouroboros style....
