There's an artist who's been making these animals out of discarded plastic bags. He (or she) ties the bags to the ventilation grates above the subway lines so that when the subway rushes through underneath, the animal jumps up and springs to life.

trailer for director Michel Gondry
She & Him, is a duet consisting of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. The two first met when they were recording a song for film and immediately struck accord. One album later and we have “Volume One” – a 13-track jaunt into that familiar olde-tyme-country-folk sound that M. Ward so perfectly creates. Zooey’s bold and playful voice seems to flirt with Ward’s guitar, belting out as tempos skip into melodies that remind us of simpler times.

China painting factories 07
- In March 07 I traveled to Shezhen, China to sort out production for a series of paintings. The factory painters were mostly young and all talented. Like 1980's art students they wore concert t-shirts, took frequent smoke breaks, and played alternative music very loud from a tinny CD player. All of the painters were either friends or relatives of one another. The factories themselves looked less warehouse and more apartment building. The office of the factory I visited had not only wall to wall carpeting but wall to ceiling. It was a plush environment. The Da Fen district, where all of the oil painting factories reside, is marked by a giant, (very communist) statue of a hand holding a paintbrush. Surreal doesn't quite express the region. The images shown do not depict the artwork I was working on, but rather, the artwork these factories all too often produce.
