My Own Biggest Fan

Build a complex, jointed robot out of paper.

Or a simple little cat.

there are lots of projects here.

So I checked out a new stat service that Eric turned me on to. The only reason I actually have one is that I like to know if anyone is reading any of this drivel. I fact they are, but mainly because I have offered mp3′s for download in the past and most of the time they are looking for them. Sorry kids, they are baleted.

If you are using Internet Explorer to get here you have probably (maybe), encountered this screen. The reason why I have that is obvious if you have seen this site in IE. It looks like crap. I have put too much work in to this design to trash it because one browser decides that CSS compliance isn’t a priority for it. Although the dominant single browser that visits here is still IE, the other three “majors” hold a significant majority.

It looks a little like our current Parliament, doesn’t it? I am just happy that most people that visit see the site as I meant them to.

�The Collage Party format (it is nomadic and flexible, some events are one night only, others last a few days; the attendance at one Collage Party might be 10 people, at another 200) allows me to experiment and do things I wouldn�t normally do in my own studio. There are always new people joining the party and as a result I am constantly being exposed to new ways of thinking and working. The Collage Party also provides an amazing venue to promote the work of all the other artists (both emerging and established) who participate. This art-making process is informal, fun and rigorous all at once. �As a result of my work with the othergallery.com and presenting and hosting Collage Parties all over the world, a number of Canadian artists have gained international exposure.
�
The Collage Party is popular and beneficial because it provides a venue for artists to connect and exchange ideas with not only each other, but with critics, curators, dealers and collectors from local, national and international art communities. The creative and social environment facilitates the coming together of diverse sectors of the art community. Collage parties function as creative incubators for all involved. � �- Paul Butler

Its a documentary about the rise and fall of the movie director as auteur.The era it talks about is outlined by the title. Easy Rider being the first of the kind, and Raging Bull being the last. It also tells you why, among other things, Star Wars was the end of this era. Lots of juicy stories involving cocaine and lots of movies to add to your “watch list”.

-based on a book by the same name.

If you are interested in either Modernism or Fascism then you will find Max interesting. Although I don’t have any major beefs with this movie, I might have liked better it if the parallels drawn throughout the movie weren’t so obvious. The main audiences for this movie are people interested in art and political history. These people don’t need everything spelled out to them.

I would like to do some research to see if the climax to the movie is based in fact or just a story device.

I knew I was going to like this movie, and I did. The problem though is that although the story is great, the acting is wonderful and the film itself is beautiful, it seems to lack soul. It is the same problem I had with Napoleon Dynamite. (put perfectly into words by Joe) Once you leave the theatre or take the DVD out of the box you are left knowing that everything about a movie was as good as could be, and you are still left lacking something.

The problem may be that they are making something too perfect. These people agonized over every detail for so long that they have taken out the very thing that can’t be faked.

Joe is sifting through the music blogs and telling you what is what. It’s an interesting idea and I hope he keeps up with it.
