OMG!
it's true.
date farmers are having an opening at the NEW IMAGE ART GALLERY this weekend TOMORROW NIGHT! i will be there for sure.
did you know that they are my favorite artists from the desert? you know when you see desert art and it's... you know. you WANT to like it. but at the same time you know as soon as you get the painting out of the desert and into your house it's gonna look totally lame. it's gonna look like a souvenir. it will. you know it. i know it. it was great in 29 palms. but in chicago, il it's totally gonna suck and you will be ashamed.
but
the date farmers! they are rad. they make desert art that you can totally be proud of hanging in your house. though you might not be able to afford it, which is cool. cause that's the deal. art that is good should be totally unaffordable. one day you will get the guts to do a home invasion of a rich person and THAT is how most of us will proudly display great art in our homes. it's true. no one needs to get hurt. just tied up with super soft rope you can get online at dominatrix websites and then take a couple paintings. you can leave a few. that way everyone is happy. no chafed wrists. no totally bare walls.
i call it passive home invasion. obama calls it sharing the wealth. WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE.
so the point is. totally go check this show out because it will inspire you.

Oh my god, your poor mother. She thinks you had really lost yr shit now. Gloria, as someone who spent most of 08 hanging out with your son, or well, living in his house when he wasn't there, I really grew to understand that David's creative force is like a blast furnace intensity cynicism. The joker obsession I get, it's really about rejecting hypocrisy, it's a further extension of his punk ideals. Nothing is wrong with his brain. Here in the midwest, all the women I know really adore how real he keeps it. You should not worry about him.
Tenderly,
Jessica

Jessica, having kind of given up on Dave ever posting here again, I just checked back in today and noticed your encouraging message. I kind of get his "humor" but it is good to know that someone who has probably seen him more recently than I (as a rule--currently he is lounging upstairs at my house for Christmas visit), it is good to know he hasn't jumped the shark in between visits!
