Mario, don't eat that cheese!

Eat Me Daily had a nice little feature on a food/art exhibition at The Brooklyn Museum.



I showed this picture to The Missus and she said, "What's in there, Polaroid cameras and Ken dolls?"


"Mario Batali catching on his cracker melting cheese from molded heads hanging from the ceiling." Uh, hells (sic) no. That's just not sanitary, Ginger. So, just what was in the pinata?



Apparently, "(Hostess) Snowballs, Yodels and pink balloons." Here is Part 2 of the feature, with more detail about the exhibitions and their creators.

What sayeth, San Francisco's greatest artist in residence?


Hello all!

Spring has finally arrived! And here’s the perfect excuse to get out into the fabulous spring sunshine. If you happen to be in the San Francisco area this weekend, this is your formal invitation to Spring Open Studios. All the info is below. This is a great opportunity to explore the Mission District– home to the largest concentration of working artists in the city as well as great restaurants and cafes, galleries and vibrant nightlife. We have over 30 artists participating in our building alone, making it well worth a visit.

If you won’t be in the area, you might be interested in one of my current or upcoming exhibitions happening across the country. My recent exhibitions in Houston and Seattle were a lot of fun, and have led to more exhibitions to come. I'll keep you updated as they get closer.
