At Home With...The Ludskis

I am showing my film Ice Cream at a late night Art exhibition at the Rio, an awesome art deco theatre in Dalston, London. It's on October 1 from 11:30 until 3 am, and the lineup is looking pretty fun, what with all the crazy filmmakers and performance artists getting involved. It's going to be wicked! So get your asses down there next saturday to look at some art and party with meeeeee!!!!


Start Spreading the News

I just spent three days in New York City with my wonderful and magical friends Molly, John, Riona and Gary. 

On Wednesday night, Molly and I frequented a bar called the Blind Barber. It just so happens that there was a photo studio set up in the back room...and hijinx ensued.

Watch this video, for reals. And watch it to the end, thats the good part.

La Vie en Australie

I once knew a boy who wanted to see a new world. So I followed him there to take his photo, because that is what you do when you love. Lucky for me, he is as beautiful as the land.


















But right now, these photos are all I have of the person I love, and that isn't such a nice feeling. It is scary and shitty and beautiful and I just don't know what the fuck to do about it. 

So to quote Atwood once again...


Variations on the Word Love


This is a word we use to plug
holes with. It's the right size for those warm
blanks in speech, for those red heart-
shaped vacancies on the page that look nothing
like real hearts. Add lace
and you can sell
it. We insert it also in the one empty
space on the printed form
that comes with no instructions. There are whole
magazines with not much in them
but the word love, you can
rub it all over your body and you
can cook with it too. How do we know
it isn't what goes on at the cool
debaucheries of slugs under damp
pieces of cardboard? As for the weed-
seedlings nosing their tough snouts up
among the lettuces, they shout it.
Love! Love! sing the soldiers, raising
their glittering knives in salute.

Then there's the two
of us. This word
is far too short for us, it has only
four letters, too sparse
to fill those deep bare
vacuums between the stars
that press on us with their deafness.
It's not love we don't wish
to fall into, but that fear.
this word is not enough but it will
have to do. It's a single
vowel in this metallic
silence, a mouth that says
O again and again in wonder
and pain, a breath, a finger
grip on a cliffside. You can
hold on or let go
