final score: sold 12 unsold 8 – the unsold, if anyone interested, being: brains, butch, lora larva, love bombs, mister square, radioactive rabbit, snot ‘n’ shit and zelda – posters and pins sold out – but altho akatako is screaming at me to make more, the puzzles not quite so popular here (as i sorta suspected) – still some left over, which i think span are keeping for their shop
weather this time of the year is usually glorious but for much of the duration of toy box it’s been really lousy – sun finally came out today, the last day – so healthy streams of visitors finally (gothlolis and old perverts and my wife’s more “normal” customers) – right up till the very end when we was tearing it all down, one more girl came to view what was still left on the wall – a fan but had only just learnt about the exhibition from a fellow twitterer or something
the wall of pencil “roughs” had been disturbingly popular – particularly with the more obsessed fans, anxious to see “the process”? – i used to throw such embarrassing stuff away and only began saving my scribbles after the alice book – but i guess it might now become a mainstay of future trevor brown exhibitions…?
as usual i got no offers of work or anything from it – but my wife now has yaso magazine chasing her
and the girl who stole my heart this exhibition was rin-san – typically of course i am most obsessed over the girls who are most obsessed over me – but rin is an ever so small ever so slight waif of a girl straight out of a (future) trevor brown painting – she gave me a fan letter in japanese last saturday – but as my wife (my interpreter!) was busy noisily yapping nonstop with her friends we couldn’t do much more than stare at each other in duplicate dumbstruck awkwardness – she wrote a blog on the encounter in which she described my hesitance as perfectly befitting of trevor brown-ness and endeared me to her even more – she turned up again today to my delight – but maybe the novelty of meeting god has worn off for her now and she’s bored with me : P
also want to say thank you to the artist, a girl named akira, who gave me this – hand cut at microscopic scale!
ps – found her web site / blog – she goes under the name rain glass
I received my post cards this morning from akatako. They also included an iris button and akatako postcards as extras. My favorites are “snot n shit” and “radioactive rabbit”, but their all great. Didn’t get in time to order a puzzle, so I hope you do make more. I hope those extra pieces of art become part of Temple of Blasphemy 3. Looking forward to see what’s next for babyart. Best wishes!
I know you just finished your Toy Box exibit,but here\\\’s an idea for your next one. listen to your favorite songs and paint what the songs make you invision.Just thought that might be pretty cool.
I can see why Rin-san stole your heart. Can’t wait to see her in a painting!
“Mister Square” and “Brains” are probably my favorites although they’re all quite lovely.
> I can see why Rin-san stole your heart. Can’t wait to see her in a painting!
she’d need my stolen heart as she’d have a heart attack if i did paint her
Really?? Aww but she’d be so cute as one of your paintings!
