The New One

While still in progress, im happy with the metamorphosis that this painting has taken. The graph in the background started as a piece, but afterthought won me over. The writing in this painting came to symbolize an aztec curse: visually. The grey tones symbolize the lines and boundaries in which we exisist inbetween.  

The Slow Death of American Car Industry

This exhibit by Jonathan Schnipper is actually called "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle." I think it was, however, conceived before the collapse of our national auto industry. These muscle cars are on a steel track, and set to collide over a period of six days in Brooklyn at the Pierogi Boiler. I think this is powerful in the sense that a series of graphs and charts would never have the visual impact of twisted metal. I also laugh when people fall though.

Netherlands to Close Prisons For Lack of Criminals

Apparently, a shortage of criminals is causing the closing of prisons. It is possible that Belgium might even rent out the empty prisons. This is definitive proof that cliched republican rhetoric against legalization of drugs and "democratic socialism" is all true. All of it...

Rueben Margolin and kinetic sculpture

I just recently started getting into kinetic sculpture and Ruebens work is by far the best that I have come across. It is beautiful and peaceful. I especially enjoy that the inspiration for his work comes from nature- the sun, the water, and the wheat!?! What? This man is beautifully insane. Thank you Rueben Margolin. You have made me smile, and have made my day.
