The fine art of Luxuriating

In this age of instant messaging, instant gratification, instant news, instant access, instant food, and..well, instant everything; we have forgotten about languid luxuriating. People still relax, but it usually involves iPads, iPhones, laptops, or some other device. We cannot seem to stop instagramming, tweeting, engaging on Facebook, or other social media platforms. Nobody seems to know how to switch-off and just enjoy our own company; our own inner dialogue. Why not appreciate lying around and really relaxing? We should all luxuriate more. (I do!)

You could enjoy breakfast in bed …
..or sleeping in …..
You could lie around eating bon-bons, and petit fours, all by yourself …
Make yourself a frou-frou cocktail …
Or you could..I dunno…..do whatever she’s doing (?)

You’re Not Gonna Believe Who This Guy’s Dad Is…

Aaaaaaaanyway…

I was very serious about creating this image. I wanted to present J.C. with reverence and respect, with a personal truth but also with something very new. The same son of God, depicted in the same stylized and over-painted way we have seen him for generations yet with a new ethnicity. Hispanic is my update. I thought maybe it could sell in South America. My honest and uncensored depiction of Jesus would not be complete without a divine sensuality that heats a forbidden glowing layer of desire…like a glossy layer of clear love smeared over his lips, his watery eyes, over his whole beautiful face. The content of this art comes with your pondering stare – making it blurry in your mind as you gaze into it and beyond it’s few details. This is introspection, the individual’s unique third-eye point of view . I hoped to put all that on top of the half-man’s mortal masculinity that made this famous prophet, at least in this artist’s mind, quite hot.

Thanks MSM For Respecting Our Music

Thanks Manhattan School Of Music for allowing me to present some of the greatest house music in history to such a receptive crowd of musical academics and for recognizing my community’s unique form of dance music as important, highly developed, influential and relevant. Rest in peace Frankie Knuckles and all those masters, mixers, dancers, artists and beat lovers who have danced beyond this world. Our beat marks the very passing of time, itself a beautiful and fascinating illusion. See? Sometimes there is some pretty enlightening stuff happening out there on those dark dancefloors!

Never Lose Sight of Your Sound

You must always continue to research, re-listen and reconsider your collection of lounge music. Edit it. If it’s rotten, toss it. Don’t stop the stream of collecting. If you gave up on vinyl then you just have to finger through the dusty stacks in another way – and with no dust so that’s good.

You may know of my penchant for The Brass Ring. I discovered them in Los Angeles which is typically my style because they were the East Coast answer to Herb Alpert in the golden age of instrumentals, the late 1960’s. In this group of talented studio musicians a guy named Phil Bodner plays Herb Alpert. The only switch being his saxophone replaces Herb’s trumpet and, well, very few people could ever be as cute and sexy as Herb Alpert so there’s that aspect too. I recently had to tell Alexa to shut down, turn off the TV and silence my phone when I noticed this track sneaking out of my imac in the corner of the room. This one deserves a clear high-volume referencing. The Album is “Love Theme From Flight of the Pheonix” and this is a Dunhill Records recording. You can find it on Spotify (click the album below to find it) and I suggest you make it a part of your permanent lounge music collection.

Judy, Judy, Judy…

Multitalented. Multifaceted. Multiplicitous. She was a legendary talent and a complex person. It’s nearly impossible to seperate the human being from the mythology. She completely inhabited the countless estimable roles and characters which she embodied completely. I’m unsure why anyone would even consider attempting to portray this enigma. Seriously.
