Caught a nice view in Harlem.

Photo of a sunset through a window with a potted plant in the foreground.

I made a black and white version of a shot my cousin took in LA.

The view from Lincoln Park, Jersey City.

A moody black and white photo. A pond in the foreground, trees, a grandstand, and a metal suspension bridge behind.

This is awesome.

This is a fantastically useful (and beautiful) mouse-interactive exploration of CSS blend modes and ways you can use them for artistic effects. I have to try redoing some of these using background layers on single elements. https://garden.bradwoods.io/notes/css/blend-modes

The view from Astoria, NYC.

New York City skyline at night, sepia almost, with rippling water in the foreground and the shadow of a raised dock apparatus.

Cluck Fluckman has entered the consciousness.

My friend Jon Solari kept surprising me with bright flash photography.

The camera is an old black and white film job, so no filters here.

I tried to sneak a selfie Jon would find later, but didn’t know how to work the camera, and ended up with a double exposure. Pretty cool.

Peter Pan buses now charge to leave.

A screenshot of an itemization of charges for a Peter Pan bus trip, showing just the descriptions. They read: “Web Passenger (AP). Subtotal. Departure Fee. Fuel Surcharge. Terminal Fee.”

The Damned were great. Rocking, dramatic, and playful. Lots of fun.

At The Damned Halloween 🎃 show. Pictured: opener Fucked Up. Great so far. Waiting for the main act.

Saw Kaiju Big Battel last night. Pictured is the climactic match between the heroic Steam Powered Tentacle Boulder and the villainous Dr Cube.

A wrestling ring with two people in costumes of giant monsters. One is wearing scrubs and a box on his head painted like a comic face, eyebrows downturned. The other is dressed as a boulder with two tentacles for arms. The boulder has a furnace grill for a face and a smokestack.

My group the Cat’s Cradle Ensemble is performing a fully improvised off Broadway show at the Player’s Theater, Friday October 27th at 9:30pm. Tickets are selling fast!

Corck board with a note clipped to it. The note’s title is “Chris Highlights”. The note reads, “Hi. Listen, alright? I’m telling you a story about me, Chris DeLuca, the improvistor. I’ve locked the doors. They’re in my apartment, so it doesn’t affect you, but I still want you to think about it. My improvisational style has been described as silly, featuring big doofy character work, combined with quick footed logic to tie everything together. Who made that description? Who cares! More importantly, who smells? Me? Wrong. I’m in my apartment, so I know you can’t smell shit. You plinth weasel. My comedic voice is very gentle. Jesus.” An organge callout over the corkboard reads, “Come see chris at the players theatre 10/27 | 9:30pm”

Found my plant at the Brooklyn botanical garden.

A small leafy plant with a plaque in front that reads “Chris”

Sunset Park goes hard for Halloween 🎃

An apartment building with life sized Michael Myers, Jason chained to Freddy coming out the window.

Just played Cage Match at Caveat with Loose Corn. Thanks to Max, the two out of towners, and the Kaplan Brothers. For anyone outside the NYC improv scene this has been an impenetrable word salad.

Apple Maps is having a day.

Had a wonderful time visiting my friend Zach and his family in Chicago. I’m the one who looks like he smells a fart.

Two white dudes sitting in a cart in a loose woods. The man on the right stares impassively into the lense. The man on the right looks like he smells a fart.

Did a little dress up with my friend’s five year old son’s hat and tie. It’s the first time my head has ever looked big, and the last time I’ll have my dignity.

A white man grinning wide with a small fedora on the top of his head and a tiny bow tie.

Colored pencil doodle looking off the page.

A purple lined bean shape with a big eye and stick arms and legs. It stares off the page. There’s a pink swirl around it.

Went on the Chicago architecture tour yesterday and had a blast. I now know that a key aspect of post modern architecture is that the building recognizes its context. For example, a lot of the buildings along the Chicago River have wavy details that evoke the water.

The Chicago skyline taken from the water. Stormy skies loom overhead.

Model train dioramas are cool. 🚂

A diorama of Seattle. Builds in the background, river with a boat in the foreground, train in the middle. You can see it’s a small scale model in a large room.

A taste of las Vegas in LaGuardia.

A swirling fountain with jets of water coming from the ceiling in fancy configurations and lighting in multiple colors.

My friend Jon gifted me the classics. 🍿

Smoke stacks near industry city.

Two abandoned smoke stacks against a darkening sky, light still holding on in the corner. A sliver of a moon rests low between the smokestacks , right above industrial buildings. In the foreground is a truck.
