World Cup 2010, South Africa

2011-01-26T13:51:00.001-08:00

December 2009. Crayon and acrylic on canvas. 76 x 91 cm.

The FIFA World Cup is the finals of a 4 year competition to determine which nation has the best soccer team. These are the flags of each country in order of qualification. Even though I played soccer since the age of 8 (around 1980), I didn't even know about the event until 1994 when the US hosted it. I watched most of 1998 in bars and at friend's houses because I didn't have a tv. In 2002 we got a satellite to see every game live, but still had to watch the final in Spanish on Univision because ESPN only replayed it at something like 10 AM instead of 4. I won $80 with a wager placed in Las Vegas for Brazil, and lost another $10 betting Italy. For World Cup 2006 I painted flags of game winners and hung them on the front of our house. I kept track of all goals scored in a notebook with brief discriptions of the player, time and how it was executed. I started some little portraits and play diagrams, but the flags were consuming and I was just beginning to crank out the Super Starry Night. (The leftover panels became Self Portrait in Pieces and VVG's SSN was finished only 17 months later!) This painting began in October and I had to wait until December for all teams to qualify. For me it represents the importance of the greatest sporting event on earth. Despite the fact that it is not believed to be very relevent here in America, I feel real unity to humanity one month every 4 years because almost everyone else is watching these beautiful games.

Hand Turkey

2010-11-25T12:15:00.000-08:00

The idea was to get Athene's hand print and maybe make some hand turkeys. It's hard to get a baby to open her little hands on command. Feet are easier.

Happy Thanksgiving!

"24 Days"

2010-10-01T10:53:00.000-07:00

If Baby decides to arrive when the doctor estimates she should, we only have 24 days left to prepare. So far we have ripped down the wallpaper and painted the living room, renovated the bathroom (thanks to my folks for their tremendous help), tore out the carpet and wallpaper in our bedroom to paint and added a ceiling fan (again, thanks to Dad). Maybe that doesn't seem like much to some people, but I am really tired of working on the house at this point. We're now, finally, to the nursery. It is just about ready for its paint job. Tzam needs to work on painting the ceiling and I can help with the walls. Maybe we can be done painting by the end of this weekend.

However, Baby could join us at any moment she chooses now so it's completely up to her whether her walls get painted before she gets here or not.

Dreams

2010-09-22T07:49:00.000-07:00

Last night I had a dream that the hook to lock the bathroom door did not exist and that a group of little boys wouldn't let me go potty. They just kept opening the door after they'd agreed that they wouldn't. Eventually I was inundated with several children, male and female, who would not let me go. I tried to throttle one little blond girl, then apologized and gave up the need to use the restroom.

New Blog

2010-09-08T10:21:00.000-07:00

The old blog is currently lost and may or may not be recovered. Tom is working on it. We hadn't posted a lot recently anyway but having lost it, I thought maybe it would be good to start a replacement. I hope we get the content back. That was several years of art progress and silly stories. If not, we'll have to manage.

By way of introduction, Tzam Blakablak is a Superartist and I am his wife. Together we are the Superartists. Our website, where you can see Tzam's art, is superartists.net. We are expecting our first child in October this year and will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary on Halloween.
