Yesterday was a complete wipeout because we wrapped the shoot at 6am. Physically wiped out, not mentally. Michel's predlicition for doing things in camera means you're bound to see some of the most amazing things you've ever witnessed happen right in front of you, for real. Sometimes two or three of those things at the same time and you don't even know where to look. So getting home I find I'm sleepless, amped up and wired by all the invention and ingeniousness I've been around.

Post shoot my place is always a disaster zone. So I need a day just to take care of all that and my body. I grew the biggest beard I've ever had. My hapa beard is funny. You can tell it wants to be a real beard, but it just doesn't get there all the way.

So I'm spending today just cleaning up and doing laundry and maybe meeting up with Dan later.

For this Friday, all I want to do is show for those of you too lazy to click through some of Dan-Ah's art that's featured on her website. One of my jobs as a socially awkward person when I'm shooting documentary stuff is to get to know everyone and make them feel relaxed so they are ok when I come around with a camera. I try. When I met Dan-Ah on the crew I was convinced I'd met her or something before but nothing clicked until a day later when I said GR. Apparently I maybe saw her at the GRNY kozyndan show last summer. And another example of the way I've always liked how Martin and Eric and Wendy and Michelle have built a community.

She is easily my new favorite illustrator. I haven't been this amazed by someone's work on first glance since I first stumbled upon Jenna Sohn's at Comic Con at the Poketo booth or Carson Ellis' and the thing is Dan-Ah is just out of school. She's going to get even better. I don't know if these are still for sale and her Printed Matter 2 prints sold out but there's stuff up here. You can click on these to make them bigger.
