To anyone, or Tom Moody is who I thought of last night reading myself to sleep at Rocheblave. The artwork featuring a coke bottle on the page opposite the short story title page in the latest (28th?) New Yorker had me so totally holy cow wow-weeed, and for other than just the obvious salacious reasons. Who that is, the artist? Someone please feel free to scan and post, huh.
Mel Ramos
Just keep both hands on the keyboard, OK?
Thanks Alex, and I meant featuring ketchup bottle, not coke bottle, except I didn't mean featuring because obviously ketchup or catsup is not the focal point, of course it could be I guess--to each his own.
Curious though, while perusing the museum store section of Mel Ramos's web page, there is available for sale a print of the exact same model in the same pose, and same but different background, that does have the model standing behind a Coke bottle instead of ketchup bottle. Must have seen it before somewhere I guess, hence the coke/ketchup confusion. By the way somebody, could I borrow $900?
Um, and again let me state this is NOT about salacious ogling, but about art apreciation, about a whole hearted respect for the human form, and desert, but I think I'm all about Miss Fruit Salad now. And I regret that earlier request, that was wrong of me, please tear up that check for $900. Could you make it for $2,400 instead?
