Father's Day Gift Idea

Monster-man makes a Paper Mache Fishwichwich.

Ioana creates her paintings with view to the latest trends in contemporary painting, building them in a context where figurative and abstract expressions struggle. On the one hand, there is the temptation of representation, and her works act in response to being aware of and cut up from surrounding reality, to reformulate in accordance to important themes in painting. On the other hand, there is understanding and experimenting of the pictorial vocation of painting, somehow an expression of autonomous becoming that is consistent with the internal logics of the work and independent of the representation conventions. In the beginning was the image, a shape, or a mountain. Then it was the vision, the association of forms, details and directions that suddenly become significant. And you feel you have been here so many times before... I like the way this paint mixes and applies on the canvas and I like the textures and the two adjoining shades. And there is this familiar feeling that somebody is looking at the painting over your shoulder... Radu Pulbere - April 14, 2008

On her Christmas show, Martha Stewart produced the ceramic Nativity Scene she crafted while she was in prison. The other inmates had to pick just one figure a month to fire 'n' glaze but MarStew did the whole thing in her five month on the inside. It's cute at the end, she asks her mother in the audience if she likes it and you can tell Martha Sr. is just thinking, "Bitch, are you really asking me if I'm proud of the damned brown clay figures you made while you were in jail?" But actually? They're pretty impressive!

Due to the snowstorm, I taught Megan the quick and dirty way to make her own shirt! I did a really quick design and we made stencils, and this is the reveal of her work. Regarding Anthony's comment: He said he wanted to commission me to do a shirt that said, "I miss Boston", cause he's from thereabouts and that he also wanted a moose on it. So I said something like, "I moose Boston", which he wanted to change to "I *moose* New Hampshire", because I guess they have a moose overpopulation there. Cast: jaaaniiineee, meglizmiller
