Geometric Half-bound Circumflex

I havent' done the link round-up in ages and have so many to pick from that today's blog is longer than usual. Have fun.

Here is art done on, of all things, tortillas by Joe Bravo. There's a paper shortage apparently? (click his name for more images)








Timeline for female body shapes in the 20th century. Guess I am still off the charts.




Keetra Dean Dixon, an artist, has come up with these maroon velvet pillows in the shape of blood puddles. I thinnk perhaps they cross the line, but could certainly get your point across! That is, if you have one.











Here ya go- the world's Most Pierced Woman. ick ick ick.











Doris Salcedo is from Colombia, and did this installation for the International Istanbul Biennale. That's over 1550 chairs jammed between two buildings!

















Jacob Seilheimer went on a diet and lost 89 pounds (an accomplishment in itself), which got him down to 349 pounds. Then he ran the Boston Marathon (as an unofficial entry), and finished--- dead last. Congratulations Jacob!






Il Lee's technique for ballpoint abstractions. Shame on you and your telephone doodles!


And finally, (OK, so I mean ABOUT TIME FINALLY), the Face Transformer, a neat toy that enables you to see yourself, or anyone else you can grab a jpg of, in different ethnicities and sexes. I am warning you about this- make sure you have nothing to do the rest of the day.

And with that I am out of here, headed to the mall to pre-scope stuff for the house transformation. We have most picked out, but are still awaiting the jackhammers and herd of workers- the ones that were promised 6 weeks ago. Anyway today I am taking a packing break, taking a shower and driving down the highway with my top down and spirits up. Unusual behavior on both fronts.
