Here is a last minute post a week late since I have been busy but I noticed the Squid growth in line with the popularity of the Spaghetti Monster. Some people did it and like viral ads or anything else it just spreads. The deer in many ways seemed simular out of a growth from the depiction of a shot Bambi as a sympathetic visual trope. It seemed to me to start there then get generalized to the point they just turned into silhouettes to frame a different image? Sneeking this in at the 11th hour will most likely get no discussion... muhahaha.

Tracy — since the name drops/links are slow in going up here, could you put your website URL here and/or that of the show, if there is one? I can’t find you by googling and would love to see your work, even if only in on-line documentation.

I finally listened to the show. GREAT idea for an exhibition Tracy! I wish I was there to see it. It is interesting That David Reed is in it. He and I discussed something along your lines of thought a while back, we agreed that painting is the “great absorber” — able to, and usually in the practice of, assimilating other influences, which is something the various waves of “painting is dead” folks always failed to realize — usually knowing too little art history, I suppose. David thinks that his work is assimilating — NOT copying as photo-copists do — he thinks his work is absorbing technicolor and cinematic inspiration in a painterly way, and that mine is absorbing installation as well as sequential art/comics. I agree. And your work sounds exciting too. As soon as BAS has the links up, I’ll be happy to go check out your site (I hope you have one!)

Good luck with the show and your work. Very exciting and inspirational. (The Front Forty press too! But I’ll get to them in another comment — I want to get to their website first and it is late here.)

I can only take a tiny portion of the credit. That is the nice thing about a group project where everyone pitches in, if someone is unable to carry their weight for some reason everyone else can compensate.

Thanks for the well wishes.

Richard,
Congrats on Maximillian and thank you for your dedication on getting the show up. Wow, very impressive! And the Happy Birthday song has been haunting me for three days now- great, thanks a lot! Best of luck with the new munchkin.

One last baby comment from me, we could not possibly have put off the naming decision any longer than we did, we literally got scolded by the birth certificate people at Prentice Hospital (which is amazing BTW). They weren’t supposed to let us leave without a name and we decided minutes before we left.

It took us 30 minutes to pick a girl’s name and 8 1/2 months to pick a boys. Sheesh.
