A friend told me that when he saw this drawing it made him realize that everything is going to be okay and that made him happy. Friends, this is one of the main reasons why I’m continuing to draw and share these large landscapes with all of you. Also: Thank you, Mark. Stay illuminated. Love, CDM

Greetings from B-135...
STUDENT: “Montone, can we baptize my robot baby from child development class?” ME: “My name is Christian, I had 8 years of Catholic School and I’m an ordained minister so I got this.” How’s everybody else’s work day going?

Come for the ambiance.
Stay for the graham cracker gelato.

When I was in high school, The Andy Warhol Diaries (released in 1989, two years after Warhol’s death) served up many a hot topic among those who were intrigued by all things Warhol. Before social media the vehicles of gossip, tell-alls and diaries provided the ultimate grapevine and these diaries (as dictated to Pat Hackett) sprouted quite a bit of fruit… some sweet, some sour. 33 years later, Netflix and Ryan Murphy have created a six part docuseries which brings these diaries to life with the help of Pat Hackett, John Waters, Julian Schnabel, Bob Colacello, Jerry Hall, Fab 5 Freddy, Jeffrey Deitch and Debbie Harry among others. An AI program mirrors Warhol’s vocal delivery for narration along with voice acting by Bill Irwin. A wealth of archival footage, photographs and related music and film clips frame not only Warhol’s pre-fame life and meteoric rise, but also spotlight intimate details of his life and career after being shot by Valerie Solanas in 1968. Fans of modern art and pop culture will definitely enjoy this multilayered feast. In addition, there’s enough fresh material here to keep Warhol lifers like myself (who have studied his moves for decades) fully engaged. Enjoy!
That thing where the art department spends thousands of dollars on 24 new 8 foot exhibition panels and I immediately cut up the shipping boxes. PS: I’m building a fort. How is everybody else’s work day going?
I waited to post about International Women’s Day until I had an appointment with my favorite dental assistant. Did I mention that she’s also the first woman I ever met? Happy International Women’s Day to my Mom and all of the amazing women in my life. I love you all. Enough said.
