Photo New York











These Mormons like punk rock.<br />



















The show goes well but we're reminded that the only thing worse than artists are the snobs who buy art. Mike is good at talking to people (even rich folks) but the rest of us spend most of the weekend in and around the van (behind the blue velvet rope) drinking Jim Beam. I am feeling genuinely hostile towards the oft-condescending crowd of art snobs and millionaires.

It's been several years since I've been in New York. Unfortunately we don't get much time to just hang out in New York and visit friends because we're all busy with the show. The heavy rainstorms makes wandering around the city less appealing as well. Mike signs copies of his book and I'm surprised to find people are interested in some of the quick paintings I hacked out along the road. Some people get photos for free by peeling them directly off the car at night. Soon Photo New York is over and we're eager to haul ass back to California as quick as possible. Everyone's a bit sick of being around each other 24 hours a day and we're all completely broke. But we had a lot of fun. Thanks to all the people who helped us out on our trip.

Hey! That blue-haired woman (who makes vegan bondage gear) is my sister, formerly of SLC, now of Phoenix. How strange for me to see her. Good work, Art Car(ney).
