Jess Hirsch
Jess Hirsch, also from the Autumn Sweater show at the Fontanelle Gallery in Portland, OR which I mentioned a few posts ago.
Jess also has a gallery, Homeschool that is selling work for $25 a pop......$40 framed, in Portland.
Is that right?
AND they have a pretty clever alternative to framing, one that might make some people shudder.

New work up on Misako Inaoka's website. Take the time to find her automaton pieces, also.....I have the videos on my ipod and love to revisit them.

found on ccccraigslist
From here on out,(until I grow bored of it)
Fridays will be dedicated to
the slyly sweet images I've
been finding on craigslist.
Back from New England
where I visited this lovely friend
and artist,
enjoyed great food and sites,
toured around with the dust of life,
and watched him speak at this tiny college.
More pics and details to follow!

was so curious to see more.

Mariska Kasasz
Sitting in waiting rooms is usually my imposed celebrity gossip reading time. This week I spent an hour in a lounge that offered American Craft Magazine. A warm spark was lit for a new enthusiasm for fibers and textiles solely by discovering the embroidery of Mariska Kasasz and reading about her love of the textile she was using. These are some amazing, busy, passionate pieces of needlework (and "passion" and "needlework" are not two words I ever imagined putting together!). The detailed images in the magazine are so much more satisfying than these here. I'm only disappointed to not be able to see (feel) up close the textiles she's using because she was actively gathering gorgeous fibers from around the world to work with, including hand spun yarn and threads, hand woven linens, pieces of broken cello wires and other odds and ends with a bit of history and touched by the hands. There is a book. Looks amazing. Read more about her here.

All Hollow's Eve
I was introduced to the animations of The Brothers Quay in college. Their films are amazing. A visual eye-candy of sorts, but very dark, more like a strong dark licorice. I hadn't heard or seen anything from them in years and began to wonder what they're up to.
Turns out they've been very active. In the last few years they've released 3 feature length live action films, mixed w/ some animation (Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life (1995), The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (2006), Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass (TBA)) and have now have a DVD available of their short animations. You can get it here. They've even done a couple of videos for His Name is Alive, Michael Penn, Sparklehorse and some others. Check out the His Name is Alive video here, can't seem to find the others yet.
Now I've got to get my hands on these feature length films! Has anyone seen them?

Jose Parla
My young sons, while dabbling in a bit of delinquency via an active obsession with graffiti, first introduced me to Jose Parla, immediately a favorite of mine. I just stumbled upon news of his first London show over at The Lumper. See the show here......check out that signature some lucky one is getting in her book!

Dream Home
This popped up on my blogroll the other day and in case you might have missed it, this article is so worth reading, as are all the posts on this blog are. It's a modern comic-tragedy. And it takes place in a castle. Warning: it will dampen your dreams of living in a castle, leaving a slow-growing mold on them.
Color.....
Give your eyes a workout.
Now take a fresh new look at color, here, where the research has been done for you by Susie Q at eyespy.
Though, I'm more of the intuitive/accidental (what's at Goodwill) interior design and fashion school, I'm intrigued with the idea of some new color combinations popping up around us and am personally into the dark citron, super lemon, fuchsia red and lavender. I haven't seen these colors around much and am wondering seeing what would happen with them in my studio.

Bathing with Bierko
It's difficult to view John Malcovich the same way after seeing this video, that could be a good thing.
Anyway, it kept running through my mind while watching Burn After Reading.
I think maybe Bierko has not found any actors brave enough to work with this interview format besides J. Malcovich since this is the one and only on this website . Too bad!

I don't really need another gadget, but......
It prints images downloaded from the internet onto your morning toast! Doesn't break my unwritten rule to not post mass-marketed items, since this is not yet available, just an appetizing idea...... an interesting direction for technology and totally unnecessary.
Found on Gizmodo via Quipsologie

Summer = Swim (a final excursion, I think)
The rivers are getting low and a little warmish.....this is probably the last swim of the summer...
but what an amazing swim!
Look closely at the last image and you'll spot Snow in mid-ever-so- graceful swan dive.
