I have finally broken my dry streak with Examiner.com and posted an article on the Museum of Science in Boston today. Also holds some dating tips from 16 year-old Kurt Eidsvig. Who wouldn’t want to read that?
Signs
I’ve become fascinated with signs lately: mostly signs with that little man that graces restrooms and crosswalks. He is everywhere. And the more I look at him, the more I am amazed at the brutal experiences he puts himself through for our safety. Running into flames, getting zapped by lightning—he is a contemporary Mr. Bill (from the old SNL for those readers who are not as ancient as I). Or, maybe even a modern-day Christ—crucified over and over again for our sins of stupidity and ignorance. This poor guy is slipping in floors and bursting his eardrums for us, to save our mortal souls.
OK, maybe not. Although I am toying with a story where this guy is the new religious icon: That people wear the crosswalk dude on chains around their neck. That through the new religion of materialism, he is our God.
By “toying with as story,” I mean writing this blog entry. And posting these pics.
South Boston Basketball Academy
I mentioned my friend George Benner in a recent blog post. He is President of an organization named Round Table in South Boston that I serve on the board for. Their focus is art and athletics for youth in the community. I give them some input on art and art programs from time to time… strangely enough, they haven’t asked for my advice on the perfect jump shot.
Anyhow, George is also President of South Boston Basketball Academy. There is a nice photo of me and the guys on their site. You can check it out there, at the bottom of the page:

Bluebeard
I have just finished re-reading Vonnegut’s Bluebeard for the umpteenth time. I am going through the whole collection. I’ve decided that this should be required reading for all aspiring artists—along with the bios of De Kooning, Rothko and Pollock. I know, no one asked, but it is a nice book. Not his best, certainly, but great having to do with art.
I am onto Cat’s Cradle now:
“Boku-maru?”
X’s and O’s
Also above, see a pic of the current painting in progress.
