ghostbongweedofthesamurai: I’m at home for a couple weeks,...

Mon, 20 May 2013 18:02:24 -0700

I’m at home for a couple weeks, housesitting while my mom goes on vacation. This is her cat, Cyrie (for Cyrano). Cyrie was a wharf cat for some time while she was growing up, until my family took her in a few years ago. Now she gets to live in a warm house while still acting like a wharf cat.

Cyrie has a serious underbite, which gives her this dumb pointy snout and a really weird meow (video may be processing, give it a bit). It doesn’t cause her pain or any sort of loss of ability, she’s just a weird-looking cat. She’s long and thin and lean, giving her a streamlined, sharklike look.

Cyrie is not being allowed outside during my tenure here, because she’s one of those high-energy murder-cats which decimate local bird populations and I’m hoping to break her of the habit.

anyway she’s a cute cat, that’s my story

3liza:

My latest piece “Cordyceps” was created for Travis Louie’s ZOMBIE show in New York city. Press release:

NEW YORK, NY (May 25th, 2013) –When most of us hear the mention of the word “zombie”, it brings up images from George Romero’s “NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD” movies, the AMC television series, “THE WALKING DEAD”, and both Max Brooks’, “Zombie Survival Guide” and “World War Z”. Contemporary society has become obsessed with this dead, cannibalistic phenomenon. Yet the earliest appearances of zombies date back to African and Caribbean religious mythologies. Some argue even earlier manifestations can be found in the “Epic of Gilgamesh” and “New Testament Book of Daniel”. It wasn’t until the early 20th century, that zombies first made their debut in American popular culture. From then onward, the horror paradigm evolved from bewitched, voodooed creatures, to the decaying undead with a taste for human flesh.

In the past few years, the images of the walking dead have appeared in numerous ad campaigns, countless video games, and organized “zombie walks” across the USA. It seems everywhere we look, people have “zombie” on the brain. With this art show, we asked 50 artists to interpret the word “zombie”. What is it about living dead that intrigues us? Is it the idea that they were once like us? Are the masses really consumer “zombies” programmed to receive and carry out the demands of commerce, by going out and shopping for the latest things they’ve been convinced that they need? Or is the zombie sensation just another popular culture craze? Get your zombie on with us this summer.

Artists include: Stefano Alcantara, mia araujo, William Basso, Michael Canavan, John Cebollero, Peter Chan, Bobby Chiu, David Chung, Steven J Daily, Matt Dangler, Brendan Danielsson, Kato Destefan, Dave DeVries, Dienzo, Bob Dob, zoetica ebb,Bob Eggleton, Steve Ellis, Katelan Foisy, alex garant,Mark Garro, Eliza Gauger, Lisa Gloria, Gothic Hangman, Stan Grograou, Fred Harper, Kelley Hensing, Stephen Hickman, Joshua Hoffine, Martin Hsu, Sarah Joncas, J Anthony Kosar, Aimee Kuester, Edith Lebeau, Steven “Kid” Lew, Robert Mackenzie, Angie Mason, Vince Natale, Vincent Di Nguyen, Kathie Olivas, Brandt peters, Lou Pimentel, Stephen Price, Carlos Ramos, Brandi Read,

ZOMBIES WELCOME…

If I can find one of those last-minute cheap tickets I’ll be attending, but I’d say the chances of that are minimal. It looks like an incredible lineup, and what little I’ve seen so far of the contributions are really excellent.

REMINDER!

hipsterinatardis:

Fun fact: Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins decided secretly that they’d play Hook and Smee as a gay couple. When Spielberg, the director, found out, he was furious.

posting this little tidbit primarily for Paul but i have a vast affection for Captain Hook, as a character. and lots of Peter Pan pastiches lying around waiting to be written.
