Nightmares

I haven't been sleeping well lately. Some of the problem has been the escalating violence in my neighborhood, but mostly I blame Sarah Palin. I'm scared, guys. Really scared. Read this great article by Eve Ensler about why she's scared and maybe pass it around. If not for yourself, do it for the pitbulls:

I was just going through the pictures on my hard drive and I came across this awesome image that one of my internet friends made. It was a while ago (and I have a terrible memory) so I don't remember who made it, but still. So special.

Mac Users Are Teh Secks

Crystal Morey

I can't believe I haven't yet mentioned the work of Crystal Morey on this blog. I saw her stuff because of the all-art-knowing John Casey and I think it's amazing and haunting. This is my favorite image of her work and I hope she doesn't mind that I borrowed it from her site. Good stuff:


p.s. My new job is awesome, in case anyone was wondering :)

Kevin E. Taylor and Sarah Smith @ Swarm

There's an awesome show up at Swarm Gallery in Oakland right now. I was there gallery-sitting the other day and here are some photos I took of the work. Great stuff!
