Two by Noah Lyon, from "The Infinite Fill Show." Above: "Paper Rodeo Head," ink and whiteout on Bristol, 2004; below: "12 Eyes," mixed media, 2004. Paper Rodeo is a Providence zine crammed with imagery such as Lyon's cartoon homage to Arcimboldo. (The grey smears to the left are shadows from the buttons, which are adjacent to the drawing in the show.) The explosion of psychotropic-influenced graphics coming out of Providence is duly noted; still waiting for a critic to stop complaining about the state of criticism and get down to the hard work of defining how this particular graphic revolution differs from the Zap comix '60s and the Raw magazine '80s (it does differ). These days my taste leans more towards the cartoon minimalism of the "eye buttons," though it's so damn easy to provoke a response with eyes.
Hi, Tom. We have a few of Noah's buttons (and are thinking about some works on paper...), and James wrote about the work he had in the last group show of 70 Washington Street in DUMBO:

Hey cuz,
Just taking a look. Verry interesting stuff. Hope all is well.
Let me hear from you.

I'm picking up a daevid allen "pothead pixies" thing from NL.
This also differs from the late nineties/early aughts drawing-in-art phase, like Royal Art Lodge. More about comix, less about quality of line.
Hey Tom, did you see the review in Time Out? they mention that Jamie is Cory's SISTER in the second sentence. Very nice shot.
If you click the left wheelchair full of eyeballs on
http://www.noahlyon.com/home.html
you find a secret internet fill page!
the right one is a different page fill, using 100% as the width and height. never occurred to me that that would work.
