The Manipulation issue of The Work Magazine

by Retoyman in , , ,





I want to give a big thank you to Gloria Noto for asking me to contribute to the Manipulation issue of Work Magazine. It's a beautiful magazine with incredible work by artists and photographers including, Kate Moennig, i0 Tillet Wright, Sandy Kim, Tasya Van Ree, Lola Dupre, David Scott Stone and Dan Monick. Check the website and blog at theworkmag.com. There you can find info on the issue and contributors.

I want to also thank the friends and fans who came out the launch party. It was great night with a kickass performance by We are the World, plus the sounds of DJ David Scott Stone. It was honor to have my work manipulated into vines derived from the issue and especially enjoyed the mix tape as my take away.

Thank you again Work Magazine.

I Am Very Bad with Event Dates.

I laugh at myself and I need to laugh, because I got my dates wrong and The Work Magazine launch party is next month on the 16th.

But I was right about Peter Murphy playing a the show at Amoeba Records . I apologize if anyone was confused by my posts. Obviously I was confused.

I'll see you next month. (I wish I could say that getting my dates mixed up doesn't happen often - but it happens more than I would like :) )
