'Everything is Original' by CSK and Birgit Richter
I really enjoyed this short film made by two friends, director, Christian Svanes Kolding and photographer, Birgit Richter. CSK's film goes behind the scenes to give life to B's portraits of Los Angeles-based housecleaners. They both uncover the somewhat lonely occupation of others. I hope you enjoy the film too!

Ryan McGinness: 50 PARTIES
Today was a good day for mail. We received a handwritten letter from our friend and NYC-based artist, Ryan McGinness inviting us to visit his studio in 2009/2010+ for "50 Parties. 50 Themes. 50 Weeks. In a Row in the Studio. No Sponsors. No Strangers". Included with the note was an additional welcome letter with website login instructions and a list of the first 29 parties' themes.
They were always filled with creatives and interesting doers. Ryan created the 50PARTIES project in response to this void: "to bring back the artist's studio space as an environment for social exchange and revitalize the practice of the artist's studio as salon." I'm looking forward to picking up my Guest Card and joining the fun!

It's tough out there and the economy is hitting creatives hard. For those of you with a little disposable income looking to beef up or slowly build your art collection, you might want to check out what I believe to be a real "steal":
In an effort to counter the cost of renting my studio in these challenging economic times I am offering a few older drawings from my backstock. Shipping and tax has been already been figured into the prices, making purchasing super easy. I will be updating this page regularly as things begin to sell. All the pertinent information is located below each image along with the buy button directing you to Paypal. I appreciate your time. -Robert
CatWorkout: PowerLifting: Catlift
Our handsome boy modeling cat, Godzuki, made his acting debut courtesy of Cat Workout, the Tai Bo of animal kingdom exercising! Thanks to Tara and Sean for giving our four-legged roommate his lucky break... this might be what we need for Disney to pay attention so we can retire and become animal stage moms.
