Some pieces of mine hanging in the curator's office at Lothringer Dreizehn, an art space located at Lothringer Strasse 13 in Munich. The curator, Courtenay Smith, originally showed the work in her gallery homeroom. Hand drawn using the old computer program MSPaintbrush, the images of what I would call everyday media women were shown a couple of times in New York in the late '90s. I emailed a set of .BMP files to Smith in 2000 and she printed them on a medical plotter and "stretched" (i.e., folded) the paper on canvas stretchers. Her set actually looks better than the ones I printed here in the States.
I'm diggin' your blog, thanks for the effort. Looking at the everyday media women I was reminded of this site which you might enjoy.

not sure what html tags stripped means so I didn't create a link.
Thanks--I think a lot of people thought I was rasterbating media photos (one person said--"these are photos run through a pixelating filter?") when I was in fact hand rendering the images using old school eye to hand coordination like Goya and Manet and those guys used to do, only holding a mouse instead of a pencil. The subjects aren't live models but the drawing is "live drawing" as opposed to mechanical reproduction. For some reason this is really hard to get across and probably only matters to people who had some kind of half ass classical art instruction (i. e., me). (One editor rewrote an article to describe the process as "mouse activated editing"--what the $%! is that?) It seems like the only way to get it across is to watch me actually drawing them. Which is very boring because it takes a while.
How about a fast-forwarded video of the "mouse-activated pixel activation process"?
