A favorite from my more perverted days — I’m saying they are behind me — Robert Crumb has once again shocked his audience. This time by not getting dirty but rather completing a 207 page word for word illuminated version of Genesis. The Hammer Museum in LA is currently exhibiting this Magnum opus. Crumb definitely did not rest on the 7th day, this epic undertaking is enough for one man’s life work, yet disturbingly enough is just one of his many. A quick side note, I saw Raymond Pettibon at the exhibit and even he was looking a little overwhelmed by the endless black frames of drawings, he still looked pretty damn cool though, too.

Crumb himseld is impressed, in his uniquely understated way: ‘I can count on one hand the number of comic artists whose work is as strong; maybe on two or three fingers. It’s a laff riot, what can I tell ya?’

Oh boy, this is fun. Omaha’s Tilly and the Wall are kitsch-cool-camp-vauderville meets pop-folk-flamenco, with a tap dancer for a drummer and some serious, serious charisma for a calling card.
Here’s another commercial building, and no doubt a nice one too. But just another commercial building. Yet there is something different here and it’s in the materials used. The cladding is a fibre-reinforced polymer, or a FRP, and has a finish similar to that of a car. Read more
All the trash of modern pop culture heaped in one place, Flash Glam Trash shows stuff like stills from long forgotten cult films, memes like people emulating the David Bowie lightening flash, Micky Mouse ears, or the documentary pictures of a man who photographs prostitutes.

I saw a real wizard. His name is Twig Harper. He shoots crazy waveforms from his fingers, aided by magic-infused electronics. I am now a frog. If you see him, tell him I no longer wish to be a frog.

The scientists explored the surface of our moon until they stood facing the foreboding presence of The Lunar Crystal. The two men stood in awe of the crystal’s existence. They stared without tact; oblivious to the inquisitive voices on the other end of their earpieces.
