perhaps a seasonal post around these parts, below are some images and texty bits sent to me by some of my mates as seasonal greetings that just happen to coincide with that holiday that just passed.
Of course the first to arrive was from friend and fellow artist Elaine Arkell, featuring what I can only assume to be a depiction of the inner workings of her own aorta!
Moira Ricci sent me this YouTube card with a link to the video below:
not via the inbox, but real-world artists gifts included the following:
from Jason Eisner
merry christmas or season’s greetings
wesolych swiat lub pozdrowienia okolicznosciowe
and
no i
happy new year
szczesliwego nowego roku
lukasz
also John Pitts in… uh outfit performing… uh a song that needs an outfit.
Even Google made sure to send everyone holiday wishes at their gmail login screen, with pun intended:
and after it all check out this image of a yule goat from Sweden I stumbled upon:
brilliant!
what? you want to see the goat live, right now? IT’S HERE!
I thought I’d share the attachments I received this past weekend in my inbox, for the big C-day holiday. Of course there were lots of messages and wishes, but I was particularly delighted with the jpegs a few people sent my way. And so here they are. (Note: I find it particularly intriguing that nearly half of the attachments I received were from people of Japanese heritage; I wasn’t aware that Japanese people were so into the spirit of Christmas, even in the relatively benign gesture of email attachments!)
Atticus Pitts IS Superman!!
from my mate John Pitts in St. Louis.
I was fortunate enough to work with Lukasz this past February when he was in NYC for his then-exhibition at Location One. I ended up participating in one of his pieces, ‘The Film’, which was conceived, shot and mixed the Friday before the opening (the following Tuesday i think).
Now don’t go thinking that I’m always searching for myself on the nets. Rather I was looking for further information about Lukasz’s show at Bunkier Sztuki and stumbled upon the image. And if you don’t know about Lukasz’z work, you should definitely go out of your way if ever his work is being exhibited near where you are. You’ll either laugh or cry, but either way you’ll love it: humorous, slightly sinister, very raw and highly conceptual.
(p.s. – this reminds me i have a gift sitting on my studio desk to send to Lukasz…)
