italy day 1

wow...it's comin to a close. couldn't have beena better day. got in really early and the room was ready (miracle!!!). dropped our shit off and ran out to see a few local churches, then had pizza lunch at one of the most famous places (happens to be a few blocks away...di matteo). awesome. went home and took a much needed nap. we were all on practically no sleep...so you can imagine this hit the spot. went for the early evening stroll, and ended up at my fav rest from last time (la cucinotta). pasta con fruti di mare! great wine, great bread...and panecotta for desert.
great meal....went home and now it's time to CRASH hard. show tomorrow early.
i'll keep you all updated.

two words: one name: AL COLUMBIA

i don't need to tell artists about Al Columbia... and i don't need to tell fans of the alt comix about Al either, because few artists touch the realms where his artwork and creative mind have entered. What i will tell you is...is...yeeees?...is....i got to hang with Al recently. Like an adoring puppy, i basked in the artnificense of Al. i was privy to the process by which he works. i was in the inner sanctum. i was, in a word: happy.

I found out all about his upcoming masterwork to be published by Fantagraphics. i don't know if i can talk about it so, all i can say is, you better hold on to your socks when this book comes out!

we had a great day. drank too much coffee, and talked about life, art, and projects...and yeah, havin an art show with me.

now that's the shit!!!
cheers,
scott

hotwire artists...and CONFESSIONS OF A FOODIE

more art conspirators: Tim Lane, Chadwick Whitehead, and David Lasky have signed on for our HOTWIRE SHOW!!!!!! yay!
i hate to close the show but i'm running out of space.
so, i'm gonna wait a few more days and then zip it shut.
www.scottedergallery.com

on to food:
i cook the best steaks. plain and simple. i don't cook 'em plain and simple, i mean i'm the best...plain and simple. i make 'em better than any stupid steak restaurant. yeah peter luger's smith & w, any of 'em. they're not worthy of holding my jock strap. your mouth will experience orgasmic pleasure, and your eyes will roll back in your head as you savor a piece in your mouth. i've seen this happen over and over and....yeah you get the point. although my pork chops are great, i still have some wiggle room for improvement. but when it comes to veal chops, lamb rib (or rack)...i fuckin rock.

while i'm a true blue art fan and devote most of my day to the pursuits of collecting and selling...i'm also a worshiper of art & music, and spectate quite nicely on both subjects. but i'm also a devoted foodie. and that's my hobbie, and dare i say...my art. i go out of my way consistently seeking out the good food and the best ingredients for cooking. i'm a loyal patron of the finest food establishments of the city, as well as a very loyal devotee of the city's premiere farmer's market at union square.

i'm oldschool tho. i'd rather have a dinner somebody's mom or grandma made...then snooty high brow stuff any day. that being said i've been known to inhale a piece of nouvaux sushi with the best of them.

still, the simple pleasures of the best food, freshest ingredients and authentic recipes rule my food world.

when you've tasted something better than a perfectly roasted chicken (from the farmer's market)...let me know. seriously. LET ME KNOW!!!!

email to scott@scottedergallery.com with comments, rants, challenges, tips, raves, dares, and puffed out chests.

cheers!!!!
