On a favorite podcast of mine, one of the hosts recently talked about how futile it is to chase relevance. The minute you do, he said, you’re done. I couldn’t agree more. That’s why you won’t find me watching videos from Instagram “influencers.” I don’t want to know about the latest “scandal” that has everyone … Continue reading On Not Chasing Relevance
Scottish artist Jack Vettriano died in March at age 73. Vettriano, whose paintings have been described as being “like a double cheeseburger in a greasy wrapper,” was insanely popular with the masses but thoroughly despised by the art world. Considered a terrible draftsman whose work lacked anything of substance to say about the world, he … Continue reading The Greasy Double Cheeseburger of the Art World

Felicia has been a beloved character since she caught my eye … Continue reading Hot Shots of the Week: Hi, Felicia

I’m still holding onto those reservations, mind you, but I’m also … Continue reading Michelle Monday: Artificial Edition
Italian artist Enzo Sciotti, who passed away in April 2021, always comes to mind during the scary season for me. His horror movie poster artwork, so lurid and lush, was filled with women in peril, knife-wielding maniacs, and grotesque creatures of the night. During his peak period in the 1970s through the 1980s, Sciotti illustrated … Continue reading The Horror Movie Poster Art of Enzo Sciotti
The legend of Lou Reed's Berlin (1973), the brutal concept album about the disintegration of a marriage, goes something like this: coming off his first big solo success with Transformer (1972), Reed and producer Bob Ezrin inexplicably set out to make "the most depressing album of all time." And if you know (and love) Berlin … Continue reading Possession
