Celebrate Presidents’ Day with a nude George Washington.
I have been working on new President prints for the last couple of months. Here is the proof for George Washington, I hope to have my store up and running by the end of February with at least five new prints for sale. Happy Presidents’ Day!
Tony Fitzpatrick on the evils of snowmen
Continuing with the theme of the last post, here’s a hilarious story about snowmen by Tony Fitzpatrick, accompanied by one of his beautiful etchings.
The Chicago Snowman
In addition to mimes, insurance guys, clowns, Jehovah’s Witnesses and nuns, snowmen are among the creepiest of entities, especially in Chicago. By the time the sun starts them on their slow, shape-shifting erosion, they’ve been pissed on copiously by dogs, drunks and homeless dudes. Invariably someone tries to piss their name into Frosty while circling, and falls on his ass because, there it is: three and-a-half feet away. . .the ass-print. FULL STORY
Daily Doodles is pretty wonderful.
Just found this site, new doodles and a story (or poem) by David Michael Chandler posted each day.

The Ghosts of Earth, a Haiku
We all die someday.
But our ghosts search for new worlds,
To haunt once again.

Exciting news! The Pressing Destiny portfolio which I co-curated was purchased by Washington University in St. Louis. If you are in the St. Louis area, go check it out in person.
Jill Waterman’s New Year’s Eve Project
On December 31, 1983 Jill Waterman began a long term project to photograph New Year’s celebrations in cities around the world. For more than 25 years her documentation has spanned many countries, cultures and events: from waiting for midnight in Paris; to religious observances on the beach in Brazil; to the Millennium celebration in Bethlehem; to this image of fireworks over Scotland’s Edinburgh Castle from 1999. Shooting from an adjacent window that offered a panoramic view, Jill made this image within seconds of the firework’s first burst, before the scene became polluted by smoke accumulating in the air over time.
