Ukulele Lady

AKA Elena. From Marlboro, VT last summer.

I'm trying this for now: brittanybartley.tumblr.com.
We'll see how it goes. The photos come out so big and tasty on Tumblr.

Bedbugs the Musical!

So over the weekend I decided I was a genius after I came up with an idea for a hit Broadway musical production called Bedbugs The Musical! It'd be quite a fantastical production including some of the following scenes:
-A giant bedbug destroys the skyline of NYC Godzilla-style
-Elaborate ballroom dance with actors dressed in bedbug costumes dancing with their human prey
-Some sort of bedbug Trail of Tears after the President of NYC (the characters and plot line are obviously not too realistic) banishes bedbugs from the city
-An incredibly thrilling scene in which bedbugs make their first attack on a slumbering human. This involves actors in bedbug costumes ascending a gigantic bed and human legs made out of fiberglass or something. I don't know too much about set and prop building.

A tale of love and insanity.

Anyway, looks like someone got to it before me: Bedbugs (rock opera)
Mine was going to be better.

I've been bad with this.

Here are some photos from the summer:

Nautical works from a show

A couple of pieces from a recent show in Brooklyn curated by Duffy. I apparently was in some sort of seafaring mood.

FlaskZone

I'm in the flask zone right now, finishing up a commission of sorts. Lots of flask making.

I'm still here.

The best thing to do on Memorial Day

My good friend Matan will be performing a live soundtrack to Buster Keaton's "The General" this Memorial Day in NYC. On piano. Modestly testing my chops at event-throwing. The movie is a masterpiece and the show is going to be incredible. Above is the flyer, a shot I took of Matan over the summer with found chickens. Not sure who took the black & white photo, I kind of yanked it off of Facebook. Come!

Urban Exploration

A little urban exploration in New Orleans while on the road with Jackie & Maureen last month. Checked out a couple of closed public schools with an experienced guide. Maureen brandished a weapon, just in case.
