«How a few phonecalls made me see a great side of Herman Miller, speak with Mark Goetz and sit on a really amazing sofa he created. (A version of it, executed in Paul Smith fabric, hidden on the 12th floor over Madison Avenue.) Wow, what an odd adventure. | Front

nothing in particular really...
It was a bit of a blade-runner moment last night when I walked to the train from 8th avenue to Rockefeller Center. There is a borded up building right next to the theater where crowds of tourists gather each night to watch yet another interpretation of Chicago, the "hello Berthold Brecht why didn't you think of black patten leather(?)" musical.
In an odd corner where one of the entrances must have been was a man dressed in torn grey fabric. Not only was his clothing consist of a monochrome set of rugs, his face was also covered with some sort of greyish camouflage substance. His hair was arranged in greasy strings.
I would have probably not even noticed he was there, were there not this blueish glow illuminating his face. He was watching a movie on a portable DVD player.
And I did not take a picture.
And it sounds unbelievable.
And it was somehow very amazing.
And the searchlights on the top of the rock keep looking for birds to fry.
And i took the local train home tonight, just so I can watch brooklyn from the highest station in the system. And it was as great as every time I take the F.
The house is so calm and quiet tonight. I am now just waiting for the refrigerator to finish it's compression job, so I can listen to the air passing through the open windows.
It takes a good while to be ready to actually draw. (I hope I can make it before midnight.)
