What seems like forever ago - Amanda and I went to see our friends, 'A Faulty Chromosome', play their 1st show at an under-ground art gallery. Before they went on stage people were walking around the main floor, perusing the art on display, one of my favorite pieces there was a 10-ft wide painting made of several smaller canvases.

I took a post-card for the gallery home with me and later cut out just a small 2"x2" picture of the same painting... taping it to my computer monitor - which I then months later took a picture of [below].



The night of Amanda's birthday [Oct 5th] we spent most of our time in Pasadena on a dinner & movie date - but around midnight we dropped by her step-sister's place to watch a few episodes of 'Arrested Development' with Krissi, Rebecca, Rebecca's boyfriend, Kai, and Kai's friends. Yes, all of this is leading to something.

Two nights ago Rebecca sends me a mySpace message that reads:

So, we just got back from clap your hands & it was allllright. They need to work on their stage show a bit, but architecture in helsinki was amazing.

However, why I am writing is due to your page on myspace. Amber brought it to my attention--and the shot that is in that montage of the painting--the woman--where did that come from? I have to say I'm curious...you do realize that its my boyfriend's work, right...the boy that was with me on arrested development night? It flipped me out. Um...check him out off my page... he has his art work in his pics. Didja know? Or is this freaky coincidence stuff?

This, needless to say, blew... my... mind. Talk about six-degrees of separation.

The full-scope of the painting, titled 'Left Empty', is much larger than the close-up I took, the full painting, which again, is huge, looks like this:
