Sometimes you eat your way into a bind. 

Unidentified pigeon, Krakow.

Gas station, Poland.

I have spent a lot of this year in a car driving through small towns or stopping to do coffee taste-tests in eastern europe. This picture was taken in Poland, as we drove past.

Mark Newport ⊗ Costumes

Mark Newport is doing a workshop called Knitting the Absurd between May 30-June 11 (I think those are the dates) at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. I will be far, far away. But if you can go you should. I bet it’ll be cool. Look at his stuff, it’s so awesome.

Click through and explore how awesome a art store/zine shop/cafe/music venue in a town of 600 people is. Impossibly hard I’d imagine, having grown up in a town of 2000. But amazing. It’d be almost worth driving to Bruno, SK to buy a zine and a cup of coffee. (I’m in PEI these days. That’s far.)

Irving Norman - From Work, 1978
Oil on canvas

Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, gift from Hela Norman, 1996

I’d never seen his work before (or at least never knew if i did) I went to an exhibition with my parents a few years ago. It’s unbelievably detailed, huge, and definitely a downer. As is sometimes the case, the image I chose is not necessarily my favorite or the most exemplary of his work, but is the painting that best translates to the internet. I encourage you to click through to get an idea of the subject matter and the sizes of these things. Or, if you’re so inclined, there’s a nine minute video here of somebody walking through the Dark Metropolis retrospective of his work (which is the show I saw). It’s helpful to get an idea of how much visual information he asks your brain to take in.
