I just unsubscribed to a blog called Minimal, which was outpacing the majority blogs I follow with a decidedly non-minimal posting frequency.

RIP Dogmo

Cubicles

Enjoy this illustration of some very depressing cubicles.

That is all.

My head got sent and painted.

I got painted by someone I’ve never met. I think she did a great job– from this image. Details here:  SEND ME YOUR HEAD.

Organic Form & kind of

Organic form

The wonderful bookish blog A Journey Round My Skull has a post this week highlighting the fact that Charles Seliger: Redefining Abstract Expressionism is available (at least partially) on Google Books.

I was shocked to see Seliger’s 1944 work Organic Form in my RSS reader, as it’s a piece I’m well familiar with– it was the basis for my kind of project from 2004.

I need a big long project like this one again– I’m already getting excited about the possibilities for all the new basement space we’ll get in our new house (coming Saturday!).

Anyway, in honor of being reminded of this guy, here’s the final phase of my project, a short video, uploaded to youtube and magnificently degraded. Better versions here.

Let the signal run through my veins (this is the best 80 minutes of your week guaranteed)
