Trick or treat, my groovie art ghoulies! Once again, this is Syd Bernstein welcoming you to a spooky Halloween edition of Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art Blog! No, wait, that can't be right. Halloween was four months ago. So, maybe this one is Christmas. Christmas, with the stockings stuffed with sugar plums and candy canes… No that was two months ago. Still, I'm getting closer. There must have been some candy-exchanging occassion that the Christians stole from some Pagan culture, or else the whole candy backdrop wouldn't have made any sense. What about… Easter? Sure! Close enough! It's never too early to start celebrating Easter!
Shortly after writing the last post, I noticed something was wrong. Something was missing. It struck me all at once: There were no cow puns! "Beef"fore too long, I decided I had to "cow"rrect this mis"steak" with the help of the photography of our own Justin "Moo"ssier.
The a"moo"nt of "heiffer"t that went into making the "cow"stume was in"cow"cula"bull." It was time well spent, though - every "moo"nute. She looks "udder"ly di"bovine."
Welcome back, art monkeys! This is Everybody's Best Friend Syd Bernstein with another installment of the incomparable Dr. Sketchy's anti-art blog! We had a very special session on February 14th. It was the first in our Art Star series, a synergistic meeting of minds to honour one of Molly Crabapple's hoity-toity big-shot artist friends. Our first special guest was none other than the head coach of the Eastern Michigan Eagles himself, Ron English!
Meeting Mr. English was a huge thrill for me personally, as I have been using his eponymous language for almost my whole life. For those squares in the audience who are unhip to the pop art scene, Ron English is a brilliant street artist who created the character Cathy Cowgirl,
It's our friends Aprella and Veronica Varlow in a gore-y, garish tribute to Hitchcock's The Birds! What's better than a horror
classic to fitter away a Saturday afternoon? This session had everything, stuffed birds, cupcakes from Glittl, and disfiguring
makeup. See more of our lovebirds after the jump.
