OMG! Ravey and atmospheric all at once/Jubal Brown's all night
Halloween party at the Brickworks - it was the best and worst party I
have ever gone to - party kids were trading smokes for plastic grapes
from my head-dress - it was pretty Mad Max once the water ran out at 6
am!! Don't do poppers & pot in fall-themed drag in unlit abandoned
buildings ever!! Pic attached (below).
Thank you, Andrew, for recognizing my disenchantment with the art world and it's current taste for faux naif jackolanterns.
I also agree with Andrew on Kent Monkman's work. I think all those gorgeous old CN hotels should replace their 30's style panoramic Cowboy and Indian murals with his stuff.
That's a great idea! This painting of his is my favourite, sorry about the crappy image...
This one below (nabbed from Cybertribe) is titled Ceci n'est pas une pipe.
That one should go in the Chateau Frontenac.
mmmm-hm! Ceci n'est pas impérialiste.
