running around downtown by astor place the other day trying to maintain some distance from my little studio that has, of late, become a miniature prison as i have been preparing for an upcoming art exhibit.ran into james delavega's studio to catch up and absorb some inspiration from a long time friend and mentor and maybe even bum a cigar or two off of him as we politicked on art and life. What's unique about his work from the time he was in el barrio is his ability to constantly reinvent his style and address important social issues of the time in various mediums such as acrylic, oil and spraypaint. But perhaps even more than that, hanging out for a couple of hours on this area of 8th street allows you to observe a crossroads of new york as people constantly walk in and out of the store and pass by on the streets. plus its next to dumpling man, which is like culinary kryptonite to my soul...
