I visited Jacob Fishman and the new Lightwriters public access neon studio in Chicago. I learned lots from his "Neon Engineers Handbook" and he has been one of my neon heros for years.

Of course, I was dazzled seeing all the Bruce Nauman pieces, patterns and rejects (Jacob is Nauman's main neon fabricator)- and I am a big Bruce Nauman fan. That copy of "mystic truths" has been all over the world and is the "living template" for the piece.

Jacob makes me wanna play more with radio.

I loved seeing the Bing neon happy sad outlets at Light Writers. It's so exciting that there is now a public access neon shop in Chicago - it's been needed for years with SAIC and UW students graduating and not having a place to work for years. I am gonna send some class proposals to Jacob and Zoell (his daughter) to return one day an teach a class :)

Next stop- Madison Wisconsin!

One of the most iconic Bruce Nauman pieces- this one exists as a "Living Template" and is Fishman's personal copy. It has been all over the world and I saw it in NYC at MoMa PS1 a few years ago. It's pink spiral with blue script letters have inspired countless copycat pieces from artists in the decades since it's original making.
Bing's neon outlet- I love the happy sad outlets!
A bunch of Bruce Nauman patterns on non-asbestos paper. The patterns for some of my all time favorite pieces of neon- all rolled up under that table
One of the double letters (an A in this case) that regularly break my brain. I wanna make some things like this.

Kathy X
Does anyone remember Kathy X? I saw her a few times with the Death Valley Surfers. You have to honor people like that, because without them there would be no music at all, at least no honesty. Then everyone would wither away, like the people who only listen to AI-generated radio music.

Le saviez-vous ?

Le pigeon biset est le seul animal ayant reçu la Croix de guerre en reconnaissance des services rendus lors de la première guerre mondiale: Vaillant, pigeon biset né en 1915, matricule 787-15, était ainsi l’un des milliers de pigeons utilisés comme messager dans des conditions difficiles, parfois au péril de leur vie.

Eh oui, le pigeon voyageur, c’est lui!

Étonnant, non?!

New single - 'Orpheus And Eurydice' from me, Lagrange Point 6.

youtube.com/watch?v=6FYJevTtTm

A track from my forthcoming album '#Heros' in which each of the tracks represents aspects of the great stories of the heroes and gods of ancient #Greek mythology. Here, we see played out the battle for truth, beauty, music and the love of his recently departed wife as Orpheus tries to retrieve her from the underworld.
