A is for Apathy Monday, August 25, 2008

You might call it the alphabet for the apathetic, cool art from an angsty college student at Head Injury Theater.

• A is for Apathy, the Fire Burns Low
• B is for Burnout. Four years of this?
• C is for Computer. A thing of evil.
• D is for Day Job, Distraction and Depression.
• E is for Emo Drama. No one loves me.
• F is for Fans who scare me sometimes.
• G is Girls. Curse their curves.
• H is for Hysteria.
• I is for Inbox which scares me into seclusion.
• J is for Jared. I am my own enemy.
• K is for Krull. I am the chosen one.
• L is for Lazy.
• M is for Malignant; my tumor's name is Steve.
• N is for Neurosis. You'll never find me.
• O is for the Others. Their weird, but they have a great dental plan.
• P is for Prison (and a Pretty mouth).
• Q is for Quitting.
• R is for Routine. R is for Routine. R is for Routine...
• S is for Sex. Yes, please!
• T is for Thetans. The Scientologists are gonna get me.
• U is for Unemployment. "Spare some change?"
• V is for Vacation. Again, you'll never find me.
• W is for Warcraft. A lifetime lost to digital fish.
• X is for Xanax. And drinks make me forget.
• Y is for Ye Olde Website, why can't I be digital?
• Z is for Zombie Jesus. Five years ago I felt original.

His art reminds me a bit of one of my all-time favorite comic artists, Bill Sienkiewicz - perhaps it's the fact that he's not afraid to splatter the ink. Sienkiewicz's Elektra: Assassin blew my mind in high school. "Remember, America. Not wind like a watch, but Wind, like the air..." Perhaps a full post on Elektra: Assassin is in order...

Awesome work; the stuff looks very wet and organic. Check out Mark Powell: Sculptures from Beyond the Gate., but be forewarned: eew, eew, EEW.

Markus Neidel: Way of the Sheep Monday, July 28, 2008

Markus Neidel: Way of the Sheep evokes a surreal blend of horror and joy. What's especially intriguing about this virtual painting is the way that it takes unique advantage of being run on a computer in order to produce a seamless and infinitely scrolling nightmarescape.

The sheep that you count as you drift off to sleep fall into the dreamworld. They tumble past the guardian rats into a dark metal pipe, where a robot then shears the wool from them, creating piles of fluffy clouds on the left and pink pigs on the right. From there, a grinning confectioner pours piggy pink coloring into a vat with the fleece to whip up and sell as phantasmagorial cotton candy to troglodytic children for a dollar. The happy children tumble obliviously into the lair of the insects that drain the pink sweetness from their brains and grow their own, new, white fuzz on their bloated abdomens, which is sheared and knitted by a massive machine back into the sheep that you count as you drift off to sleep....

Awesome Lego Art Monday, December 17, 2007

Via the del.icio.us hotlist: proving Lego can be an artform in its own right.

And on a completely unrelated note.... drug dealers and geeks.... the side-by-side comparison.
