Subversive Art

You have to love this guy- you may remember him from another prank he pulled, dressed as Inspector Cluseau he took a painting INTO a museum and installed it on the wall:



the elephant in the room

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Dateline Sept 21, 2006: The show has closed and they elephant has been washed clean of his certified non toxic paints, so don't call the ASPCA just yet. No animals were harmed...etc.

Banksy's website Here are more of his projects (including a video on installing his own art)


Norway's Reindeer Man OK, it's a cheesy costume but the plan is great. Wouldn't you freak to get something so subtle in the mail?




Paul Curtis aka Moose is a reverse-graffiti artist. He created his street art by *cleaning* the dirt and grime off of surfaces!
The tools are simple: A shoe brush, water and elbow grease.


Opinionated Telvision Reviews- thinkgs I wouldn't put on an iPod even if mine could take tv.
I have more time unfortunately before TY returns and we head off to the new West Elm to look for a wee desk-like construction- and when we get there I am gonna whine for a lamp too. SO, I will tell you how bad 'Men in Trees' is! I watched the premier a few days ago and it was a blatant lift of 'Twin Peaks' and 'Northern Exposure' with a hefty dose of 'Sex in the City' starring that unappealing unfunny fruitcake Ann Heche. For some reason I never got since she started out on a book tour, she ended up in a forlorn Alaskan town that took days to get to even with an unscheduled biplane, but all her friends could end up there at will with no problem. I figured that maybe the premier was just bad and something would happen in episode #2 last night- Boy was I wrong. And completely against policy ('policy' being falling asleep in front of the tube), I changed the channel and watched a rerun 'Forensic Files'. The corpses had more humor and lovability.

And while I am on my tv reviewing kick, is it just me or is Project Runway getting old fast? Laura announced she was preggers one week, then the next week she is sewing with full big belly exposed, then the next scene she is svelt and skinny in her uniform silver spangles and slugging back champagne. Sure wish my pregnancies went that well. I was very glad to see her have a hormonal meltdown too- made it all seem a bit more real. I don't know, but are the dresses all looking a bit too contrived, a bit too limited in their scope, a bit (dare I say) cheesy? Maybe I just find the thoughts of them working for Macy's uninteresting.

I am anxiously awaiting 'My Name is Earl' and 'The Office' next week so I can chuckle again.
