I've been briefly mentioned on PaperMag's blog in relation to my fine wares available through the Degenerate Craft Fair, open tonight til 8pm at 303 Grand (Williamsburg) and finally the 18th and 19th at Bravin Lee Programs (Chelsea). Neat!

Visual Aids: Postcards from the Edge

ReneeDelosh@gmail.com (Renee Delosh) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 21:37:00 +0000

Yesterday was the postmark deadline for Visual Aids' annual fundraiser, Postcards from the Edge. Basically every year they put out an open call for 4" x 6" artworks, to be exhibited en masse, anonymously, in a Chelsea gallery for one weekend around the holidays. Each piece is sold for $75 whether it was made by Kiki Smith, Jeff Koons, or a nobody like me. All proceeds go to support the fight against AIDS and aiding HIV+ artists. More info can be found at their website here.

Every year I try to twist all of my friends' arms into doing it too; it's just that I think the benefit is a really great idea on several different levels. This is my third year doing it and I almost didn't make it, but I said Renee, you asshole, get your little brushes. And I did. Got to the post office at 2:30pm with my parcel properly packaged (DRY, wrapped in vellum and sandwiched between cardboard accompanied by accurately completed, necessary forms). Here she blows:

I've felt like this forever (tired kids)

I always forget when I am making something, that metallic paints reproduce horribly. Yet I cannot resist their charms. This is a pencil drawing based off of a vintage photo, with metallic peach tempera. Nothing epic but I'm taking a break from over-thinking everything, allowing myself to break some of my dumber, self-imposed rules and playing with ideas and imagery.

Okay so I'm totally going to be on here a lot really soon

I have my painting shit more set up
I have some fresh ideas
I don't have swine flu anymore

I have learned there is no proof of sleep addiction and it is silly for me to pretend otherwise.

Hooves for no reason

ReneeDelosh@gmail.com (Renee Delosh) — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 18:18:00 +0000

So I made these hooves to put in an installation/arrangement of sorts, not sure exactly what I will do with them. Coincidentally, the random length of braided yarn happens to make this a perfect jump rope.

Just because something is not real

ReneeDelosh@gmail.com (Renee Delosh) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 18:35:00 +0000

doesn't mean its not worth pretending

Lauren was making cake and it reminded me of the mystical power of baked goods.

We get so focused on how big our goals are and how unattainable they are right now, that we don't even see that we can get there by taking small steps every day to get closer and eventually do it.

FREE: acoustic sets from pow wow! the sundelles, gutsies and more, July 11, Prospect Park

ReneeDelosh@gmail.com (Renee Delosh) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:09:00 +0000

(art: James Farias)

Hey y'all. So if you haven't noticed, I am a member of a group called The Co-Op, and we're having a special day of music and madness this Saturday. It's meant to be an intimate gathering, a fun and relaxing evening in the park.
The event is entitled Field Trip, and its a rare opportunity to see acoustic sets by bands like:

(listed in no particular order)

Im Turning Into
Senors of Marseille
the Sundelles
Will Stratton
Pow woW!
Superhero Name
Los Basement
Gutsies
plus special guests who we might not even know about!!!!

WHERE: Nellie's Lawn, off of the park's East Drive (see below for map)
WHEN: 4:30 pm-9:30ish pm, Saturday, July 11th

The Co-Op is a collective of young New York artists who organize opportunities for emerging artist and musicians to showcase their work in a professional manner, without the tyranny of the gallery scene. By creating our own venues we are able to circumvent obstacles like unfair commission rates, lack of interest in younger artists, and prejudices against collectors unable to spend millions of dollars. We are devoted to events that are free or inexpensive and open to the community at large.

It's been forever, but look at this:

I really like packing. Anything related to packing. Including lists of things to pack in lieu of actually packing.

busy busy busy

ReneeDelosh@gmail.com (Renee Delosh) — Sun, 24 May 2009 06:33:00 +0000

okay so this is obviously cheating because this picture is of a to-do list from a month ago
but i thought you should see how organized i am
how much i love the 5 day forecast
and how i am always haunted by the thought of babies pissing themselves

truth be told i am busy now too
but things are coming
big things
beautiful things.

ENDNOTE:

I've got this itch behind my knees
They think I've got the new disease
Don't have the flu; just some bad dreams,
A muttering heart and crooked teeth.
