Drinking the Kool-Aid - Berlin
Alex Flach was on the scene and shot some photos...
Civilist, Berlin. Great shop, great people.
Speaking of nudity, apparently I'm corrupting classrooms across America!

Beer seems to go well with photography.

People.
Janowski is feeling something but I don't know what it is. Or does he think it's so stupid that he wants to email it to his friends so they can laugh at me. Luckily, I will not lose sleep either way.
Free beer mixed with pro skaters is always a good idea.
This is quite humbling seeing people interact with my work from afar.
I want to thank all of these people for coming...
I'm just putting all of these up.
Grant Hatfield overlooks everything...
"I disapprove of this artwork."
Stefan...
...and Chet.
Something as opposed to nothing.
Hell yeah! Arto! One of my favorite dudes.
Shimizu, Saari, Wieger, SJ.
Arto says everyone loved his beautiful girl Mimi.

Berlin is like the Hollywood of Germany.
Berlin is THE hype.
Everyone wants to make it there.(was that NewYork?)
It´s almost kind of a problem,
Propably 90 % of all creative people between 20 and 40
in Germany wann go or even go there.
First it was cool that there is this extrem high frequented
creative scene, but now they`re eating up eachother.
I know so many talented and quailfied people driving the
cab just to make a living there and that they can have a
site saying they´re artist or designer living in Berlin.
It´s almost ridiculous.
There´s nothing wrong with Berlin if you go there
to visit and enjoy the wealth of creative energy.
But from an more innerview, it´s pretty overrated.

Wow, I just realized that this was really depressing.
Come to Berlin everyone, have a good time!
And if it´s for an EdT Exhibition it´s all worthy.

Grant is like the head in the tube from power rangers. Anyone remember that shit? Did Nike sponsor the whole thing? I hope you're getting some Nike money, Ed haha.
Arto.....YES! I really love the photo of him in the hospital.
It's cool that you're seeing your work the same way most of us see your work haha.
Is the Brainwash premiere 21 and over only?

why is Ed´s Penis blured?
Posted By: S van Oversea on October 13th, 2010 at 03:24AM PST
Have you ever been blamed a sexist?
I don´t think you are, but as I look
at these pictures and shortly after that
flipped through some of your books again,
there are pictures you really could easily
ask yourself, why shouldn´t that be sexist?
What´s the intention.My ejeculated Penis,
my girl below, the perspective and the
measures coming along with it...
You know, sometimes I don´t care, what´s
the intention behind something as long
the image connects with me in a certain way,
and even these picture do, but as I said, I
can imagine some people react differently.
Did that ever happend to you?
Like some noninformed feminist crashing
your show....

Pommier sighting 5th photo down, far right.
Posted By: A.Peanut on October 13th, 2010 at 09:31AM PST
Whoa that is Pommier!
OK, to answer van S Oversea:
To clarify that photo is not my "ejaculated Penis."
It is Deanna working out to an exercise tape in our living room, and I stood over her with a boner and shot a photo to mess with her. I like the photo because her face shows that she is tolerating my shenanigans and waiting for me to go away so she can continue. There is no semen in the shot.
Once you know that it is my wife and not some sexual conquest, and you know the backstory, you realize that it's not sexist at all, but just some stupid thing that happens in a relationship.
That is the back story for many of my "sexy" photos. It is all an exploration of my own long-term relationship.
I have been accused before. By the artist Clare Rojas among other people. But after she realized the back story and spoke with me (and Deana) and understood my intentions, I think she softened her position. I don't think she particularly likes those types of photos, but she doesn't think they are sexist.
A similar thing happens all the time. In Belgium at one of my shows, a girl accosted me, saying, "What is this shit, you taking photos of all the women you fuck?" And I replied that "all these women" are one woman, my wife of 15 years! And that changes the whole paradigm.

Thanks for your answer, Ed,
and sorry, I didn´t paid close enough attention to the penis situation,
soobviously I got something here wrong, too.
So that´s a prove, that´s not only easy to miscalculate the intension,
but also the situation.
But I guess someone who´s well informed about your life,
wouldn´t come up with that.
Did I?
Bytheway, I find it kinda hard getting informations about europedates.
Yours are always well announced, but like the toyteam.
I´m often at the Area Skatepark in Eindhoven and it seems that Toymachine´s doing some sponsoring there.
The Wintertime is propably not an appreciated time for europe
touring,but are there any chances seeing the guys around germany, netherlands, belgium?
Thanks again.

I love how you censored your dick. I don't think this is the first time this has happened in a post.
Don't be so modest! You put it in galleries for a reason.
Damn,one Arto photo on this blog led to Analog to blog about this blog.
How does Grant intend on messaging me?
Grant will see how big my nose is..
Viva La Jgonz, I need my own damn TV show. Terry Kennedy is getting a fucking show on BET.

The best woman incorporates our ideas of having "many women" as a man. This is when relationships work.
