If you are in London, I had a show opening TONIGHT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You were probably at some club with girls with skirts so short thier crotches were visible.
You should come if you can, it's only open for a few weeks.
Why does everyone speak Russian in London?
There are 51 photographs to look at.

Some Blog coverage from the London show...

I'm writing a story one of the museum guards told me about when he was a boy at the end of World War 2. He saw people beating up Nazi soldiers and butchering a horse for it's meat.

This is Gilbert, (pronounced Zheal-Bear, the French way) the museum guard who told me the story.
6702p1010939.JPG
This is Dave, The Overlord of the production staff.
6702p1010942.JPG
This is the vegetarian sushi Deanna demanded that I shoot a photo of because it was cute. I handed the camera to her and she shot this photo, then ate one of the sushi's and quickly spit it out because it was laced with wasabi, a spice Deanna cannot abide by.

Kevin is secure with his sexuality, don't worry young men, it comes with age and maturity. Even earlier if you have intelligence.

Posted April 5th, 2010 by Actions are louder...
ed, the idea for the big heads with the talk bubbles, does that come from just a general desire to make big heads with streaming talk bubbles that fill an entire room, or is that something you think of only after you've planned a show and seen the space?

in the photo of kevin, you blurred out the dong, but left the boobs and vagina uncensored in the neighboring photo.

p.s. sock team is for the people.

kevin is secure with his sexuality because the tempster tells him so. also, he has to get a naked photo taken of him or he loses his job. kinda like that ex-ceo creep of american apparel who got busted for making girls watch him jerk off for promotions.

reCAPTCHA: Naturalization pork
Posted By: vinny on April 5th, 2010 at 05:47PM PST
Actually only the close up photo is censored. Kevin's dong and the boobs and vagina are uncensored in the first photo.
Posted By: ed on April 5th, 2010 at 05:58PM PST
i must've mistaken girth for censor-pixels.
Posted By: vinny on April 5th, 2010 at 06:17PM PST
"Sick St Nick" reminds me of the Family Man album cover.
I like your painting,because it's violent.

"Let me take photos of your dick,or YOU'RE FIRED!!" Imagine being in that situation.
Kevin is quiet. And we mostly talk about his penis on the internet. At least he reveals himself artistically,well,some people call porn an art. That's a debate for another time. Now I want to be made into one of those diamond/nude photos, can I wear whitey tighties?

Making girls watch him jerk off isn't that bad. I don't think watching a guy jerk off would be too traumatic,but it's not like you can have a normal conversation or he'll go soft. So you can only have a boring conversation that you're not into. Then again,I bet most people don't like being made to watch others jack off.

I still think Nori is gross.No Sushi foods for me.

And about my blog,I don't really like posting things too personal IE photos of myself or what I choose to do on my free time. It's weird to me. Computers.
Posted By: Jgonzalez on April 5th, 2010 at 07:29PM PST
I also like how Kevin is has an uninterested look on his face as he poses next to his nude photo for all to see.
Posted By: Jgonzalez on April 5th, 2010 at 07:32PM PST
These are fantastic.

I love old men with stories to tell.
I'll be that guy when I'm older.

Kevin's having a blast in the photo with Deanna, or he's drunk.
Is Nori the old bald hip guy?

I'm super glad that you're career is going into a different route. One day you'll retire, & then what the fuck do you do??? You can paint, & be good til the day you're 90.

My 45 year-old step-uncle told me he checked out this blog & some more of your stuff & he was super impressed (I posted the last post from this site on my facebook). He was stoked I like "good art", & he's a copyright lawyer who drinks plenty of wine & lives in the gated suburbs in Temecula.

Kevin's got a nice wang.
Deanna's looking cute.
You're looking happy.
What are us pawns without our overlord, right?

The word bubbles are too gnarly.
Psychin' me out, man...

Jgonzington, you should take a train down this summer to so-cal & take nude photos with me. I remember Ed saying Deanna might shoot the nudies. It would still be satisfactory. I'm okay with what I've got. It's not much, but I have no one to impress.

I didn't know anything about the American Apparel thing, but it sounds right. The head photographer (& I think owner) of Vice magazine asks random girls to take nude photos for him. Super creepy, but he does it. I've seen Deanna nude in a Vice magazine.

The last photo is funny, yet so sad. Bummer for Jesus & his followers. If I saw a bible of Ed Templeton in the gutter, I would shed a tear.

Speaking of sad & religion, how was everyone's Easter? My birthday fell on Easter when I turned 16. Had to go to church from 8 am to 2 pm. It was awesome. Praising Jesus & all..

Sock team for the people & by the people.
New motto. Where's the "like" button when you need one...?

I'm getting buzzed with Carolyn. Monday's are usually spent working at my new job at Fedex, but due to late drug test results, I don't work until Wednesday, but it might be a meeting that could be my last there. Thank God for detox. Wish me luck.

p.s. Carolyn's buying me a Toy board for my birthday. Super stoked. April 8th I turn 19. Wish me luck.

Jacob,you little prolix you.

I plan to venture forth to uncharted places,but once I get a car and have money. I'll travel to wherever. I may visit my brother in the Bay Area though,or if he moves.

Easter..I was in bed almost all day,eating Reese's brand Peanut butter cup eggs.

Sock team,the new Animal Farm.

Your bigass comment gave me the Lols.
Posted By: Jgonzalez on April 5th, 2010 at 08:36PM PST
Jacob good luck.
Jgonz go easy on the pb eggs. They can get you seriously ill seriously quick. It's because they're so damn good.
Great shots from the show that is so far away.
Multi-color nudie shots makes it feel like museum Colorforms.

The cemetery of reason is really amazing. The large painted pictures are outstanding and the religious-photo-collage pyramid is one your best works ever. Also the opening night was a blast and Ed, well Ed you're just the most kind and friendly artist I've ever met. A warm heart and a kind spirit.
Posted By: Bob on April 6th, 2010 at 03:00AM PST

Deanna's looking cute.
Nice tie Ed.

I went to my grand mother's house on easter and ate canny. yum candy. the night before I spent 3 hours in church for some confirmation thing. Everyone looked at me because they were all worshiping Jesus I was drinking vitamin water and turning candles into penis'. It was super.
I think i could have this guy I know in the machinery class at my school make sock team belts and what not.

Hey Frequent Commentors & Ed:

watch Jimmy Lannon and Koki Loaiza's part from the MANDIBLE CLAW skate video, which I also have a part in. It just premiered last week. It's a Gainesville, FL local skate video. It's sock team material:

I have never seen a mound of photos like that before. It's incredible! Its just as much of a work of art as everything else in there. Excellent job on this show, I wish I could be there.

Love you guys.
