Andrew Wyeth passed away this weekend. Modernist? Expressionist? Kitchmeister? I can provide no insight into these epic art-world squabbles other than the fact that I enjoyed his work immensely and “Christina’s World” gives me a serious case of the creeps.

I decided to mix up festivities this year by apparently toasting in the new year with a large glass of influenza virus. In retrospect, I think I can see why “champagne” is probably the more traditional medium, as “general discomfort” really doesn’t do justice to the past few days. I have trouble reading when I’m […]

I had new-years news all lined up, but I’m still ironing some kinks out of the new design (now with unnerving levels of GIANT FLOATING HEAD) – so I’ll be breif instead: Happiest of New Years to everyone who joined me here since the sites relaunch last Spring, and remember – it may not be […]
