Note to self:

Dream art pieces to make:

  • An acrylic plastic piece that is buried underground and buried and cooked with hot coals.
  • An acrylic piece in which every major section is a perfectly cut out separate piece of plastic (curved too)
  • A long scroll made up of pieces of fabric that is about 20 feet long.
  • A thick piece of plastic embedded with paint (almost glass blown)
  • A series of paintings done with enamel
  • An entire window of a huge office building painted and scratched away creating a uniquely detroit /urban painting that interacts with the space within.
  • Huge houndstooth stencil to make entire buildings houndstooth/plaid
  • Cut a perfect circle all the way through every single wall in an abandoned building in order to slide in a huge metal rod. The building will be painted like a sandwhich and the metal rod will be painted like those classy toothpicks with the weird plastic thingy at the end. Claes oldenburg + recycling. (the huge metal rod could be made out of barrels or something.
  • Native American Graffiti, grafitti painted on major walls in towns which used to have large Native american populations in the style of art by that particular tribe, symbols colors etc.
Yayyyy I'm going to be put in charge of starting up Asian Village's recycling program, most people would see this as a responsibility but actually, the environment is everyone's g*d d*mn responsibility, so do something about it. I'm going to try to contact businesses that have good green ethics and ask how they do things, make sure recycling goes to the right places rather than the incinerator or a big landfill where it gets compacted and nothing really happens to it. Hopefully one day Detroit will have a popular industrial compost that we can use to dispose of things. Big thanks to Jackie from Avalon bread company for first bringing it to my attention about the big scam that is compostable products and how they don't usually go into compost piles.

Better made chips has discontinued their dill and garlic chips... it is a sad day for detroit, we must now try to pick up the pieces and move on. (even though their dill chips were the best) that leaves Ray's and some other crazy chips that you can get from Canada.
