F R A N K

you prolly know this guy.
his name is frank lyon.

he's one of my great partners in life.
remember this?
we took that picture together two and a half years ago, and it's how it felt. It's the first droppling of this blog...

We had this joke during the time he lived here and we worked on music and projects together, where we'd pretend to be our older selves having just gone international art duo, and we're being interviewed, and in a thick german accent frank would explain: "We are always making," that I would explain further, in a thick german accent, "We are ALways creating."

maybe that joke needs to be heard. Or maybe you need to be us to like it.

But, THE POINT is, frank's back , in my house, looking at how dirty his socks are, looking for windex to clean a piece of glass for the last of his collage pieces that he's making for his upcoming art show that opens this Friday at FORT in oakland. And you don't need to be him to like it, I know this for sure.
here's a photo of frank by the unstoppably positive and excellent Terri Loewenthal taken at our international art duo debut "Enter the Center," last winter at Eleanor Harwood in San Francisco, CA.
here's frank in my house cutting out brown (no bathroom humor here, just the truth) for a collage.
here's an image that frank finds inspiring.

It is with great pleasure I can announce:

LISTENING THROUGH EYES
new work by
FRANK LYON

at
FORT GALLERY,
23rd st, at telegraph,
Oakland,

art opening this friday, April 3rd, 2009.

and in no way taking any thunder away from the thunderstorm of frank's re-arrival...there's also an art opening that night at Triple Base celebrating the re-arrival of Bryson Gill as well as celebrating their Flat Files collection, with new work by the wonderful artists they work with, and new artists (like myself) adding art to their collection. It is an honor to be a part of such a sturdy lot of artists.
