The leaves are starting to

The leaves are starting to turn here in Michigan already. I think I’m going to puke.
“Artists who make pieces, Artists who do books” by Noriko Ambe 2008, Cutting Book Series with ED Ruscha Ambe is a Japanese artist who does some really inventive things with photography & text only books. “It looks like annual rings of a tree or topographical map or waive, but it isn’t. It is absolutely the traces of actions of a person, which is me.  So to speak, I have been mapping the mysterious land between physical and emotional geography. I want to attain something sublime. The entrance of the way is detail. The detail is the key point of nature, and we are part of nature. Even though the actions are simple, I do not try to draw / cut mechanical or perfect lines in my work, for subtle natural distortions convey the nuances of human emotions, habits, or biorhythm. For this reason, I take care to make all works by hand.” - Noriko Ambe

glassjaw - Ape Dos Mil
There’s no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t have survived my last two years of high school without Glassjaw & this CD, Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence. Their set at SnoCore in ‘01 or ‘02 was the only time I’ve ever gone all fangirl and cried at a concert.

Vanity by Krista Huot “Krista Huot spent her formative years in the banshee-haunted reaches of northern Canada, developing a stylized art technique and hunting a mystical floating skull named Xiclotl through a spectral dreamscape. Krista’s hobbies include howling, orgiastic frenzies, animation, reanimation and ritual murder. She produces her work using paintbrushes constructed from human hair and bones, and paint made of blood and ash. Her True Name cannot be pronounced by human tongues.” Or not. But really, who cares as long as she keeps turning out work like this?

Wikipedia didn't know either

I just had a ten minute conversation about the farting habits of birds. Sometimes I can’t believe this is my life.

A call for faces (Panography)

If you:

  1. Are in Chicago
  2. Have a face
  3. Are comfortable in front of macro lenses

Then should definitely let me make a panography of your face. (Apparently all my friends are camera-shy). Email me! I’ll buy you lunch.

I know some of you people live in Chicago…
