Saatchi Doodle Dandies

Charles Saatchi, art collector extraordinaire, has started a new on-line, virtual art gallery for the people. Yes, now artists can show their work - for free - to the world. Not the first time this sort of thing has been done, but always a good idea I think.

The amusing part is the 'Your Studio' section where every month an art critic judges a computer image which contestants make on-line.

Here's November's winner...

'Piss Talk' by Nelson MacLeod

The Art Critic...

Emma Gray

It amuses the hell out of me that Gray tosses in an art reference in the critique:

"[They]are either hosing down the lawn with suspiciously yellow water, or they are like taking a leak! Either way, they look like fuzzy-edged versions of art work by Palm Springs artist Brian Calvin."

I guess you gotta say something.... You can try your hand at the competition here.

Okay, here's mine...

'Dirty Mind' by Bill Pocock

Destroy All Watermelons!

Was going through some old photos/video of my fabulous velomobile adventure and found this little gem. The ceremonial Judo-Chopping of the Watermelon at Mile Zero in Victoria, BC.

Avert your eyes, gentle ladies, lest you become enthralled by my raw animal prowesses!!!

Now, maybe, I can get on with my life....
