i sold two more paintings last nite after dinner at the beaver – pics to come of that later but first look at me with this balloon, it’s truly something.

we went to the silver dollar for the cd release show of katie stelmanis a truly amazing talent and voice she’s got though i fear the tiny art clique scene on a whole may be holding her back, snob wise anyhow, that place should have been more packed.

here is a quote i found in lullabies for little criminals (almost done!) that i was going to save for a rainy day burn i will say it now in reference to the specific art kids with their backs up (for some reason i refuse to figure out):

maintaining a superiority complex, especially when you were a loser, took a lot of mental effort and denial.

basically, chill a bit? i saw a few people i knew and fil pointed out how good they were at pretending you weren’t there, but they came to my art show i countered, i don’t get it. i just don’t anymore and i am tired of caring. the toronto crowd is talented at making you feel like you turned up to a kindergarden birthday party their mom forced them to invite you to, in case any of you outside toronto dwellers were ever curious.

anyway no hate no hate, well yeah tonnes, but you know what i mean, when does the fight for cool ever end?

in the crowd trying to get a few pictures while some dinky hipster dude with his ironic film camera elbows me every which way possible despite me being there first i’m thinking you know what mustache homeless outfit guy? it’s to this artist’s fucking benefit that i am here, your precious goddamn artist, so lay the fuck off. ass.

i blame yoko ono for all of this mess.

at the risk of bringing her down with my ship, hey xenia!

congratulations merkley on a successful party last nite, wish i could have been there, but judging from that two block line-up, mayhaps not.
