First Update of the year from thaniel

dear everyone


this is the first update in awhile, and the first update of the year. this year i already have two shows scheduled, and im working on three others. the first show of the year will be a group show in Falmouth, Cornwall, UK, the show is called Resound, and it will be the first time i have shown any of my sound art, and the second scheduled in showing of my work will be a NTY split show with my good friend maiza hixson. my end of the show will consist of around 15 drawings and other works i have constructed over the last year and a half, and will be my first serious showing of my non-conceptual work/drawings i have done in over 5 years.
 im also working on a short book of drawings that will hopefully be available this june. it will consist of around 30 drawings plus some text, and will be in an edition of 50, and one of my drawings will be on the LP version of a record by the band soft cheque. also.....people have been ask me to talk about/show people how i make my work so i decided to make this video

'everything you love they will tear apart'

one day i want to do a conceptual art work that involves a mix cd that has as many covers of joy divisions 'love will tear us apart' in it as i can find, and ill call it 'everything you love they will tear apart'

so far i have found 99 covers of the song.

I Am Making Art by John Baldessari

for some odd reason the work of baldessari has always fascinated me. i think his work intrigues the dry humor side of my mind, and if you know me you know i love dry humor. plus as you can see from the video hes not the most attractive artist , and he gives hope to all of us odd looking artists from around the way.
