Hmm, I think that day has arrived.  How sad that a fabulous communication tool 

has cut into real human relationships.

business communications

You can accumulate power today by keeping your deepest needs to yourself. The reflective Moon shifts into your 12th House of Secrets early this morning to remind you of the momentum you can build by not telling anyone about your deepest needs. But even your temporary fear of rejection may not be enough to keep you completely isolated. Consider all the valid reasons to hide your agenda. Then stretch beyond your comfort level and lay your cards on the table for all to see. Revealing your vulnerabilities is hard work that will be rewarded sooner than you think. HORRORS

Emmy Lincoln aka ItchySoul

ItchySoul is the signature you find on the art of Emmy Lincoln. She is a popsurrealist lowbrow painter influenced by sci-fi, fairytales, animé, toys and all things kitsch. To set the mood of a painting Emmy likes to reuse flea market art and old weathered books as canvases.  Here she has taken old Hungarian portaits and added her own 'demons' around their heads.  More tomorrow of her paintings over found art.

Mari Andrews Statement: My work has evolved out of years of drawing and obsessive collecting. Through sculpture I weave these two actions together. Wire, pine needles, branches and other linear material carry on the drawing practice while moving the work into the sculptural realm.  For the most part these three-dimensional drawings are presented on the wall. They are made as singular pieces and often come together in larger wall installations. The individual works relate to and play off of each other like words forming sentences or sentences telling a story

I transform the materials used in these sculptural drawings to bring attention to fragile and often fugitive objects that might otherwise go unnoticed.
