I don’t quite know what this is all about but it is in Minneapolis, the painters are Forrest Wozniak and Phil Vandervaart and it is pretty damn rad.

Doubting Thomases Preview –
Dan Murphy


Dan Murphy
Storefront #1
Paper, Plexi, Packing Tape, Foam Core

As I mentioned before, I’m curating an exhibition of eight Philadelphia-based artists who utilize printmaking techniques and self-printed materials, generally thought of as mediums of multiple, and incorporate them into one-of-a-kind works.

Doubting Thomases opens September 10th at Nudashank Gallery in Baltimore, Maryland and will feature works by Micah Danges, Chris Kline, Matt Leines, Isaac Tin Wei Lin, Bill McRight, Dan Murphy, Andrew Jeffrey Wright and myself.

Memento Vivere – Grady Gordon


It has been a while since we shared a ‘zine we liked. I ordered this in the mail after seeing a jpeg on the interweb somewhere.
Memento Vivere by Grady Gordon (click PRINTING once you enter his site – everything else looks like it is a little older) published by The Flop Box as part of a show at Free Gold Watch I think.
More after the jump.

Don’t throw chewing gum on the platform – Superman on the subway.


Tokyo subway manner poster, September 1976
As some of you know, I’m a big fan of imagery of super heroes using non-super methods of transportation.
Via Pink Tentacle – Thanks to Will for the heads up on this site.
Two more featuring the Man of Steel (how did they get the license to do that??).

Dragging Stuff Through The Woods – we’ve been there.


Nothing like a hard earned beer after a longs night’s work.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
“A PennDot archaeological team arrived at a dig under I-95 this morning to find two men drinking beer and sitting on a 20-foot-long torpedo they apparently had found hours earlier in the Delaware River.”
This is from the same stretch of river that Bill and I visited and where Ryan and I found a beach full of bricks (but no torpedoes).

And as for the PennDot guys – Kick that torpedo – KICK IT.

Caleb Neelon in China


From Caleb:
“I just got back from Shenzhen, China where I did a mural at the Dafen
Art Museum along with a bunch of other muralists, and thought I’d
share a few photos…. Dafen is the neighborhood where most of the
reproduction oil paintings in the world come from. It’s a hoot. It
was also unbelievably hot. Shenzhen is an amazing city – in 1979 it
was 50,000 people and today it is something like 15 million.”
More photos from Caleb after the break.
