DOCUMENTATION OF ARTISTIC REINVIGORATION - PHASE 2

At Function 13 in Kensington this past weekend was the closing party of Halo Halo's 100 Ways to Live show - tons of art, a brilliant live auctioneer who was more punk than pomp, and 100 sticks. I made $2 donating two $1 works of art to the auction (get it, 100 cents?), one of which was a collabo with this guy. Speaking of which, that means I owe him 75 cents, at least. Here are our one-day, one dollar creations:

What can I say? "Art" brings out the best, and worst, in people.

And some shots from the show and 100 sticks.

Sticks by Jeff. Didn't have space in my apartment for this, but came very close to bidding on this and reconstructing it on my wall. Ah well, someone more deserving out there is building magical leprechaun bonfires in their kitchen with this.    

Creepin' on Craigslist Creeps.

As an avid Craigslist user, with my fair share of weird & wonderful transaction encounters, this helped reassure/worry me that this online world be a frightful one.

The fellow behind the canvas.

So we all know the face of Mona Lisa - but how many know the face of da Vinci? See how portrait artist Woldhek cracked that code in this video.

We have more in common with the Yukon and Nflnd than we thought...

Holy crap! That's a lot of blue! As we beach ourselves back onto the shores of Tory-manned Canada this morning, here's a quick and comprehensive look at how Canada voted (note: the GTA's propensity for Red - man, are we ever products of our environment), compliments of CBC.ca. Nice interactive zoomy map there!

I wish I was the one who found that box in Venice...

A Passion for Fashion and Twisted Ankles

Models, including Canada's own Jessica Stam, literally fell head-over-heels for Prada's, well, heels this past week at Prada's Spring 2009 show. I've never seen anything like this. It's just so blatantly ridiculous to be pushing fashion, even haute couture, to these levels. Below, poor Katie Fogarty one of the many casualties at this show.

A meal fit for a criminal.

That makes Paul J. Kneale either a genius or a wacko.

"You won't hear me laughing as I terminate your day."

With help from Nick Hooker (and the PhotoBooth app?), Grace Jones successfully scares the b'geezus out of us with her new single.

Inconveivable!

Bite me

Mad mad rice art here. It's even crazier than the rice bear in the pink basket. Look for the Christmas themed ones.
