ROBERT LAWSON

I fished out a Robert Lawson etching that a mentor of mine had goven me in the 1990's around when he encouraged me to read The Satyricon. He also gave me some beautifully bound volumes of the wildly exaggerated autobiography of Benvenutto Cellini with illustrations by Dali.
I have been thinking about the Lawson etching and this time. The sad satyrs and other magical creatures departing in woe, defeated in the dark amongst the refuse as the bright deco of a metropolis shines in glory. It is very hard to illustrate light coming from the center or inner part of and image.

NAME THIS GRAFFITI ARTIST

Over ten yars ago or so these roughly 3 x 3" pieces were glud on a wall near a subay station in SOHO. it was raining, the glue is soft then. Maybe it was just put up as well. I peeled them off and law enforcement drove by and I said "I am remocog grafifiti, officer" and they agrred i guess and i did remove it.
I went straight to an art supply store got a roll of brown paper and rolled them in it. Years later I found it stored. who is this mouthless.. what the ____ is this?

SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING IN?

I don't know anything - I just found this. I like her. This is from 2013, but that the only line that the in the chorus that they all say together is that they're 'having trouble breathing' in is bizarre to see today. The whiteliness of caucasians playing tennis reminded me of that term (Bell Hooks) as well as The Garden Of The Finzi-Continis.

PROTESTERS STANDOFF WITH NEW YORK CITY POLICE GAY PRIDE BLACK LIVES MATTER JUNE 28 2020

Everyone looked very good. I thought this may have just been a pose in representation of the StoneWall riots, but my friend submitted these (pixellated) pictures to me from her phone. This happened at the very end and and there was some pushing and pepper macing of unarmed fellow Americans on the news that evening.

JULIO SANDINO IS LETTING THEM HAVE IT - MUTHA PUCKA!

My favorite professional and artistic choice of Julio Sandino  is his naming each of the over 70 pigments of his luscious lipsticks in his line of Pucker Cosmetics. . Coining them after legendary 1990s clubs, chic old school inside glamour lingo and joust generally names that are doing shows. All are fiercely named.  I couldn’t find the list but they are a Kiki.   The company  has also adapted to the Low budget Orwellian nightmare world we are living. at the moment with responsibly made products. While   gossiping and bragging about paying for your own  mandatory government ankle tracker because they allowed you to get it in Louis Vuitton It’s just a hallmark of how wonderful things are.
