jean-michel basquiat, 1984




jeannette and my mother
lived new york 1980's.
in the fullest sense.



i've heard many
crazy stories



but jeannette
captured the era
better than anyone.






sometimes i sit
cross legged like this.
its nice to know i'm
not the only one.




in action




ps: david bowie
and jeffrey wright need
to be on screen more.



"wanna buy some
ignorant art"?

nothing captures a mood more perfectly than a black and white photo, with the exception of a black and white film.

Do you know how much I have to thank you today? I can finally put a face on the name "Francesco Clemente"! I loved the artwork he did for the film "Great Expectations", and there are not much informations about him on the internet...

dear l,
such special people, they are very hard to come by, the look in their eyes are not easy to come across with,
these are very good portraits capturing their essences.
since they lived their lives and some are living as such, we as admirers should live up to their standards of existence. keep your legs crossed.
