Back From the Dead…a Little

April 26th, 2013

Hey folks, it’s Dana! Am I better? Can I type and talk? Not by a long shot. Recovery from my recent operation is estimated to take a year, in addition to the continuing serious troubles that have kept me bedridden and uncommunicative for the past year. And I will be contending with some potentially devastating tests and diagnoses in the coming months.

To quote Homer Simpson: “It’s like a BLT of pain…only instead of bacon, there’s agony.”

I’d like to start blogging again, though full time will most likely be impossible as of yet. I’m kind of coming back from the dead like a Zombie that needs to take naps.

I still have to rely on my wonderful proxy blogger, guest posts and the help of voice software or kind family members when I post on my own.

I’ve missed writing for the site more than I can possibly impart and apologize for still not being able to type responses to your much appreciated comments.

If you would like to help this comeback of sorts please post a link to this blog on your facebook, twitter, etc. Thank you so much for your continued support! See you soon…

Here is another artist claiming “lowbrow” sculpture and artwork. Carl Turner AKA Biscuitboy rolls with Dr. Seuss as a major inspiration; and perhaps a tinge of Warner Brothers and Disney go into his wildlife sculptures. Some of the descriptions Turner gives for each of his creations are worth as much as the visual impact of the “trophies.”

What to post, what to post? Chuck Hodi’s subjects are so varied, though within a dark, and by his own admission, lowbrow realm.

Dana sent me the link to artist Joe Fenton’s website. While wondering just which works to share here, upon viewing this video my socks were blown off. I had my answer. Wow. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did. An extra Thank You comes from me to Dana for finding this!

Check out the fine art drawings of Lori Field in her Silverpoint Gallery. How I would like to see this in person!

When Dana sent me the link to this website, she directed me to the toilet paper rolls that Anastassia Elias has repurposed into art. If I had these to look at in person, I would be going back and forth with the light for hours–these are so cool when illuminated!

Dana found us one that I find especially fun today. This young artist debuted this particular display at Monsterpalooza, a Hollywood SFX and Monster expo, this past weekend. His VooDoo Witch Doctor is a fun tip of the pith helmet to Disney and the adventure serials of the 1930’s. And check out that 7 foot tall Shock Monster and Frankenstein Monster he did as well. I want this in my Tiki room!
