I can't get this out of my head

Phil Collins. No, not that Phil Collins.

This plagues my dreams. I first saw this on Nathan's blog, art throb and I can't stop thinking about this woman. This is from Phil Collin's video installation "the world won't listen" It's also launched me into like 5 Smiths freakouts.

I think this installation has only been at the Dallas Museum of Art earlier this year. I wish I could see it.

Cairn Master

Andy Goldsworthy

I picked this video only because it showed a lot of his work edited together. Interviews with him are pretty great, too. This song's real good. Who does it?

Shinjin Aranai

Take Care of Yourself

Sophie Calle

I'm light as a feather, okay?

I here thus start a series of videos of artists I adore. First installment.



Sorry I can't embed this one

Halloween Reveal

Here it is. The after shots.

First Time Patriot

Oh I get it... This is what it feels like to be proud of your country. I woke up this morning for the first time with an incredible weight off my back. Doom and gloom be gone! Obama is inheriting a shit storm, I know. But, YES! YES! YES!I am so optimistic about the future for the first time.

And to see President Obama's face lined up along those old, white man's faces, I say, "YES!" My heart is swollen with pride and hope. Finally real reparations, not pittance. Finally reciprocity, not false promises.

It's Halloween! My favorite part of Halloween is making costumes. Awhile back (last winter?) my roommate, Sadie, gave me a black velvet gold sequined onesie costume piece. From there I had already set thoughts toward a showgirly theme. Somewhere along the way I got inspired by circus girl costumes and trapeze artists.



Then a friend forwarded me this link to zombie pinups, that I really love. Some of you know I have a sick affinity for all things zombified. Yeah, and I know zombies are totally en vogue right now what with all the zombie proms and what not. Really though. How would a circus performer become a zombie? An infected pack of performing lions and tigers of course! I went out and bought a big stuffed tiger and I'll sew on bloody dripping from mouth and claws. Then add fatal gashes to my face with makeup. When animals attack!

My friend Sally is going as a ringleader. Yesterday I worked on this coat I found at the Goodwill for her costume.

I took off all the tartan stuff and added some show-woman flare and a new collar. Can't wait to get dressed up tonight!

Fuyoko Matsui

She's a good one.

Trip Planning

I'm leaving for Japan in t-minus 12 days. Holy shitpickles!
