The Follow Up:

So here are some more angry bottles. Had a crit on them today. I talked about how some words and actions are literally on the other side of alcohol, (hence the text written backwards on the other side of the bottle so that it is read forwards when looking past the figure and through the glass.)

I am continuing to sneak into peoples studios like a ninja (more like a weasel,) and take things that hold liquid to stamp my face on. The messages in the beard relate to my interactions with that person. Almost as a way of saying goodbye to everyone here, as the semester is winding down quite quickly now...(that ones on a block cause he didnt have any containers in his studio.)



Also, I should have mentioned that Barry McGee hit up the whole faces on bottles thing before I did, (and yes i were aware of it beforehand.) Look at the book Beautiful Losers.
