Charisma Artist Showcase

 

This is a dream! Several of my favorite artists of the past few years all performing together in one night under one roof.

If I thought I could get out of Scranton to NYC to experience it, I’d say "pinch me."

counting the days

 
I hope no one is offended on Christmas when I follow through on my suggestion we head to cinema to see The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.
If they are, they haven’t seen the trailer. It’s too pretty for words.
 
I also love this Lily Cole poster. I’m suprised I’d never heard of the British supermodel before now. It seems she’s caused a bit of contraversy for showing skin.
At 21, she’s older than she looks, but still, it’s hard to expect much from a someone who is famous for looking like a doll.
I hope she’s more than just a pretty faced damsel in distress.

Say Family AGAIN Samuel!

 
Mysterious and seductive Samuel Sullivan (Robert Knepper) of the Sullivan Bros. Carnival freak sanctuary pulls the family card so often in this fourth season of NBC’s Heroes it’s sure to be in the drinking game.
 
For example: take this, meant to entice invincible cheerleader Claire from episode 8:
 
"We’re all like you. A family of sorts. People with extraordinary abilities. Family is about more than blood. It’s about trust. It’s about love. About those who embrace you. The real you. Unconditionally.

from my personal collection

 
 
 
A momento from The Yard Dogs Road Show performance April 10, 2005 at the Knitting Factory, NYC. I remember the date because it was my birthday. A month after my radio play Operation Wonderlust, inspired in party by Eddy Joe Cotton’s book Hobo, was staged by The Northeast Theatre in partnership with WVIA. I got to meet him and gave him a copy of my script. I don’t think he was impressed.
 
I also managed to talk my boyfriend at the time into buying me a tiny, overpriced shrunken mummy in a tiny cushioned plastic case. It was on top of the piano where I keep such things for the longest time but is missing since my aspiring domestic 11-year-old daughter decided to suprise me with a cleaning. I can’t imagine what’s become of it.

Trompe L’oeil Nostalgia

 
I’ve been admiring the work of Mocanaqua native and nationally-regarded Trompe L’oeil master Anthony Waichulis in new light this week with the opening of Capturing Realism 2009: The Waichulis Studio at College Misericordia’s Pauly Friedman Art Gallery on Saturday.
 
Here are a few of the images that struck a chord with me. Visit http://www.thewaichulisstudio.net for more or for additional information.

Victorian Robots!

 
DJ extraordinaire John Webster just turned me on to Paul Guinan’s research documenting the History of Robots in the Victorian Era.
 
They are so freakin’ cool.
 
He seems to be pushing Boilerplate, introduced in 1893 as a "a prototype soldier for use in resolving the conflicts of nations."
 
 
Guinan’s book Boilerplate: History’s Mechanical Marvel is available for purchase at the usual outlets. The video trailer is worth a watch if you’ve got two and a half minutes. (I love the still in which Boilerplate is hugging the bear. Aw!) 
 
But I’m personally crushing on "the world’s first robot," that "nonsentient automaton" Steam Man. Maybe it’s the stovepipe hat. Or those broad shoulders and confident grin.
