I don't think he's a slut, anymore than other gay man. I think Bundy is good looking and youthful. He has nothing to worry about, except taking care of himself...which means being a total slut ;)

One of my engagements on sunday was having dinner with friends at the Cliffhouse in SF. It was my first time there, and it was lovely. I keep thinking about a conversation I had that day with "Bundy"... He mentioned that he doesn't like being a slut.

While sorting my clothes, I noticed that I'm missing my boots from Kenneth Cole :( I suppose i have to shop for a new pair of shoes in Los Angeles.

I was listening to KQED's Forum, and Squeak Carnwath was being interviewed by Krasny. She's interesting and intelligent, and I totally agree with her philosophy on art, art education and the creative process. Check out her paintings on art.berkeley.edu

So it's officially Day 7 of my move to LA, and I still have tons of junk to pack. Last Thursday, the movers came and took all the major furniture and moved it to storage. My mysterious cough also retruned on Thursday, and I woke up Friday with body aches and chills. Luckily, my kaiser permanente card arrived in the mail and I was able to get an inhaler, which sort of helped. I barely got stuff packed on Saturday and Sunday because I hade last minute engaements in san francisco. Monday was suppoosed to be my last day, but I ended up packing and moving stuff to storage. I finished packing my clothes yesterday, and now I'm blogging at 130am wednesday July 29th because I'm tired and I'm bitchy and I wish was in LA on my bed asleep.

I have neglected to post to this blog because I don't have the patience to sign into blogger. However, since receiving an iPhone 3G on March 1st, 2009, I am now able to txt to this blog (similarly to Twitter, minus the weird abbreviations and 50 character limit)! Please stay posted about my new life in L.A. and CalArts on this blog. Best, Clifford

Frida Kahlo, SFMOMA, 14 June 2008

2008-06-06T15:05:00.000-07:00

Back in 2001, when I was a naive graphic design student at the California College of the Arts (then known as CCAC...Arts and Crafts), my first design assignment was a self-portrait. I forget how many pieces we had to make, but the prompt for each piece were things like "Use a letter from the alphabet that represents you," or "A word," "A sound," or "A color." The format of the project had to be six inch squares mounted on Letraset black mat (eww), but the content could be anything and any type of media.

The last prompt was "Your most favorite work of art." I chose Frida Kahlo's The Two Fridas. I chose it because it was an interesting painting, and I liked Kahlo's work. Looking back, I was just beginning to question what my tastes were. More importantly, I was beginning to crack under the pressure of artistic expression. I really liked making self-portraits because they were a form of cartharsis: the process of releasing, and thereby providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions.

Many artists choose pain as the subject of their artwork. But few artists have expressed their personal pain as sucessfully as Frida Kahlo. I'm very excited that Kahlo's work will be exhibited at SFMOMA. Seeing Van Gogh's paintings up close are significant moments for myself, and I think Kahlo's should be just as powerful.

OMG it is EYE CANDY

I finished reading Running With Scissors, Possible Side Effects, and Dry as of last night. I'm currently reading Sellevision and Magical Thinking. I'm waiting for Wolf At the Table at three public libraries. I love Augusten Burroughs. He's f*cking hilarious, witty, and handsome. He's the reason I love white guys...well, sort of.
