Jack's back

Saturday night was the opening of Jack Long's Convolvere show at GR2. I'm a big fan of Jack and his work. I tried to hang around Sawtelle late enough on Friday to be there for the installation but car trouble was holding him back. Hopefully this art show will help him remedy the situation.


After Jack left home, his parents really got into gardening. So it's almost like his new, floral-infused works depict his replacements. But that's digging deep. A simpler explanation is that he was ready to explore new color palettes.


This weekend was pretty hot in L.A., but that didn't stop fans and friends from checking out the new work. These are some of his roommates, who are artists, too.


When I was telling someone that I preferred the pieces without figures in them, and Jack came over and said, "What? Why?"





With the Vegan Enforcer out of town, Sasha, Katie, and Michelle held down the fort and made sure things stayed clean.


Please welcome our newest employee, Kayla. (I hope I spelled her name correctly.)


My college friends Lynn and Craig showed up with their daughter, Lumi. I gave her my camera and she took a portrait of me (below)


A more formal picture! We made tentative plans to get some food or hit a Dodgers game one of these days.
