Yes, I have been playing with dolls. Love that face-editing stuff. This art game on rhizome made me go looking for paper dolls online. There's lots. duh. I must be regressing. Before I went doll hunting I was browsing for cats and found this site, which may not have the best cat pictures ever, but does have the best fancy flashing fonts and winking bears (click on MiniMiezen).
I should just make mention here that Canadian Club, the Persona Volare exhibition at Rodman Hall in St. Catharine',s is f***ing great. If you are looking for a field trip, go there and see it. I wrote a little bit about their last exhibition here. I enjoyed all three of their shows, but in the past have felt that the artists were really disaparate and I couldn't see much reason, other than convenience and social fun -- which are fine reasons -- for all these works to be shown together. This time, however, the show is really coherent! Maybe some cross-talk has been developing over the years. Not only that, but everyone's work is cranked up a notch, really, really good stuff. Of course I am always thrilled to see the lovely and brilliaint art of the lovely and brilliant Lorna Mills. Other highlights for me were Rebecca Diederichs' big digital banners that hit a fine juicey balance between abstraction, typography and narrative; John Dickson's foggy sci-fi cardboard city that was spooky cool in affect (apparently where there's smoke there's not always fire); Chantal Rousseau's totally freaking awesome little black and white animations about strange birds; and Michael Davey's wonky snow cones on the shoe tips video. I liked all the other works too by Lyla Rye, Lisa Neighbour, Brian Hobbs, Carlo Cesta, Kate Wilson, Johannes Zits, and Reid Diamond.
