beautiful losers

'beautiful losers' started two years ago and will continue this spring. failure is a thread that runs through my work, and with this series, we are given proximity to some of the most loyal and unrewarded fans in professional sports. i already knew of the phrase 'beautiful losers' from the seminal skate/grafitti/street book/exhibition that came out a few years ago, and i just found out it was also the title of a book by leonard cohen (1966). i am excited to go back this spring with the ringlight. it does an amazing job and helps with the potential problem of flash + cubs baseball hat.
