Some updates by the Rustic Monk

[Guest Rustic Monk]

Alright . . . I've been busy with school. Like, really busy. But I have done a few things I think some of you may be interested in.

First: My movie, "Do You Get It Yet?" is showing at the Frameline Film Festival in San Francisco, during pride month (JUNE!!) Apparently, there's a picture of me in the program somewhere. Also, "Two Spirits Belonging", a documentary I was interviewed in will be showing as well. The film, "Do You Get It Yet?" is available at Youtube.com.

Second: I'm gonna be on the cover of the Bay Area Reporter (weekly GLBTQ newspaper in San Francisco) as part of a "Queer Youth 2007" story by Heather Cassel. This should be showing up in the next week or two. Check Ebar.com if you aren't around SF.

Third: I've been working a little more on my photography portfolio. There are more photos to be seen on my website, http://www.lonelyocean.co.uk. Or, you can just check them out on my blog, http://killerpizzamonkey.blogspot.com

Fourth: I'm turning 21.

That's it. I know it's not June yet; but happy pride.

Happy 21st Birthday then.

I love your photography especially that one standing with hands in the pocket with the street-lights blaring down. It's FANTASTIC. That one just really struck me.

I actually had to maneuver myself under another light. It was coming from the top left, behind the camera, and it shone on my face. Can you tell it was a self portrait? That was a good night.

Though . . . if I had to pick a favorite . . . it would be the one with the barracade, at the very bottom of my blog (i forgot to add it to the galleries).

I like the natural contrast I was able to capture.

I'm talking too much again. But that new landscape with the golden fields is my second favorite.

Happy 21st Birthday, Gabe!

I'd frame it and hang it up in my house. That's how much I like it.

Thanks, Graeme.

WBMS: That's gonna be my artist self-portrait in the item succeeding the present.

FIFTH!!: My photography and the poem "I Found Myself on a Dirt Road" will be on show at the Marin Museum of the American Indian, starting next Tuesday, June 5th, 2007. The show will last for a year. Check out the Marin Museum of the American Indian's website for hours of operation and directions. www.MarinIndian.com

I don't know if this is more exciting than turning 21. But it's really fucking close.

Excuse my french

Well really Gabe, congratulations on both. I should point out that becoming 21 only requires staying alive, however you do that, but achieving a place in a museum for your works is a much greater feat.

Congratulations, Gabe! Both on your Birthday, and the exhibition.

Brilliant news!
