The Economy, Kara Walker, Blue Cowboys Get Maroon, Nasty Girls for 99 Cents, and The Bird is Back Again








Kara Walker: So, everyone is talking about the economy. People who don’t even know what they are talking about are talking about the economy. It’s everywhere: “what about that economy?”

Thought it was interesting this week though to come across the above photo from yahoo that reminded me so much of a Kara Walker. Art imitating life. Although, anyone familiar with Kara Walker and the images of her silhouettes knows that this is all too close to home. People skewered and raped. Seemed pretty graphic and pretty interesting. Art and life in imitation of one another.

Kara Walker image above is from Whitney.org and the yahoo photo is from

Blue Cowboys: Have been playing with the integrity of the pink-maroon line in Blue Cowboys and enjoying the results. This one plods along but seems to gain momentum.

99 Cents: Also, see this work in progress above. In other news, check out the GZA’s diss of 5o Cent on Youtube. Why would anyone pick a fight with the lyrical maestros of the Wu? It is just silly.

The Bird: The bird made a repeat appearance a few days back. He or she is a little bit of amazing.
