Make links not war

Zaha Hadid's design for a house in Moscow reminds me of her ski jump in Innsbruck in addition to Olympic platform diving. It also seems a tad silly like Robotech in real life.

OpenwidePDX is a new photoblog focusing on Portland art scene openings.

Steve Ditko was in the NYT's book review... nothing could be more deserved both for its praise and damnation.

Peripheral Vision discusses honesty and fakery and their tenuously negotiated relationship to visual media.

Thanks for name dropping OPENWIDEpdx!

And when will Zaha Hadid make a bad building. That house is completely absurd, yet I still love it.

I saw that Ditko article as well. The JD Sallinger of comics.

On a related note, just finished "Kirby, King of Comics".

Hard pressed to find another artist, of any style or medium, that worked so hard, created so much, and yet was rewarded so little, as Jack Kirby. Truly depressing.
