As far as I can tell, this is some sort of complex geometric proof showing how in an X-Y graph, wherein “X” is a value of “pigs,” a plotted point asymptotically approaches some sort of coffee stain or something. Take just a dash of Mondrian, mix well with a high school maths textbook, add a […]
You can’t judge a book by its cover. You probably shouldn’t judge this book at all. It’d just be rude. …absolutely. there wasn’t a lot of content in this book, but what there was, amazing. Just the cover alone was remarkable. Frida Khalo, strange and benevolent, a priest about to give a benediction, blessing all […]
There are lamps, and there are LAMPS. There are little green desk lights that you can read by late at night without waking up your partner, and then there’s an ancient implement of lighting that sheds its radiance over the pooled blood of your enemies, lighting your path to the throne made of skulls upon […]
Because EVERYBODY’s late for the Day of the Dead. Okay, this is actually a pretty cool piece. The worst I can say about her is that she was made almost entirely out of egg cartons, but that’s some excellent carton-based craft. Really, a celebration of the dead should have a strong recycling component. I am […]
And and the “my third martini” fairy is the most awesomest of them all. Plus, she really puts the “mixed” in “mixed media.” I don’t know the sort of artist that takes a small handful of glass shards and says, “oh, wings.” But I’m glad they did. Because this is amazing on so many levels. […]
Froggy went a’courting. Or maybe he’s just really into industrial architecture and wants to sing about it. Of everything I’ve ever found in the Goodwill art bin, this may be the most expressive. Look at Mr. Frog–he can barely contain his ardor, pouring his love out onto the night chalkboard and doing an impressive sort […]
…but it’s not. And that will be your personal tragedy: when you look up to see what the hell time it is that your neighbor’s dog is barking, or see if your version of Martha’s quinoa and flax-seed pikelet with Crème fraîche is officially al carbone, or if Judge Judy is working it judiciary-style, you will […]
A little Halloween wrap-up with two of the most hideous things I’ve seen at Goodwill. This time, though, it’s intentional. The snakes worry me. The overall expression, I am, yes, concerned by it, he certainly looks like he sat on a tack and will now bite your face off. But mostly, I’m very concerned by […]
I only say this because SOMEONE had the most awesome grandfather in the world, and somehow conned him into making the most awesome game cabinet in the world, bar none. This thing really makes me want to get out the monopoly set and go for a few rounds, and that’s hard, because I don’t want […]
The great bald woman in the sky blesses you with her ambivalence and dispenses sparkles upon you and yours! I like this picture, I do. It almost came home with me, except that I’m kind of afraid of spiders, and her hand looks a little too much like a tarantula for my comfort. A giant space tarantula, […]
