Halloween costumes!
Very excited to be at the pumpkin patch!!
I think the pumpkin on the right looks like an elephant
The Great Pumpkin!
Our carved pumpkins, a scary ghost and a spooky owl.
It's time for another post because this past week Philadelphia has completely lost its mind. seriously. It poured rain monday and tuesday delaying the 5th world series game and then Wednesday, oh man... Gregg and I went to see a promo screening of an independent film downtown and as we were driving home we knew the Philly's had just won because suddenly every car in the city started honking their horn and people began running into the streets screaming "PHILLLLLLLLLIES!!!!!!" When we got home we turned on the TV and watched helicopters footage of 5-10 thousand people crowding every major intersection across the city. Seriously woah.
Yesterday there was parade downtown that I found myself swimming against the current in an overwhelming sea of red. The trains were too full with people to pick up anyone from my station so I took an adventure on an unfamiliar bus stuffed to the brim with people heading to the parade. Once downtown I decide to be a part of the mob for about 15 minutes before taking refuge in my studio for the rest of the afternoon. Just long enough to see the Phillies mascot from a far, which by the way has to be the weirdest looking mascot ever. So what I'm saying is... the next time a Philadelphia sports team has a chance of winning a championship game I'm taking a vacation.
Gregg and I did a pretty good job of celebrating Halloween. We went to a pumpkin patch last weekend and carved awesome pumpkins. The pumpkin patch wasn't quite as spectacular as we'd envisioned and was obviously designed for 4 year olds who are easy to please and have no prior knowledge of what a good pumpkin patch is like. Last night we went to a Halloween party in the city with a bunch of students from my school. It was fun taking the train into the city on Halloween because every time someone got on the train it was like a costume parade. I think Gregg and I had the best costumes by far. He was nice enough to let me copy his brilliant idea of dressing up as iPod commercials. We wore all black, iPods and taped sheets of neon colored posterboard to our backs. From behind we looked like post-it notes but overall it was a very convincing costume.
This is a picture of my studio this week. I've stopped collaging and am now making some abstract paintings.
