Thru A Scanner
Comment?

The theme for this month’s 27 project was “Portraits.” After being in front of the camera twice in the last couple of weeks, I actually didn’t feel like attempting any self-portraits. (Can you believe it?!) I turned my cheap HP scanner on its side and scanned my friends and dog in. I’m calling this method scannerotype because like a daguerreotype, the subject has to sit still for about a minute while it scans. I’m really happy with how these turned out.

DON’T FREAK OUT
Comment?

Sorry for the vulgarity — this is inspired by this Conan O’Brien version of the “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster my cousin posted on Facebook earlier this afternoon.

#1) Sometimes I feel like I’m the only white person who’s annoyed by the ubiquitous adage. I mean, seriously? Would you truly do that in a crisis just because a poster told you to?
#2) I don’t have a TV and never watched nighttime talk shows anyways so the controversy regarding network scheduling and humor rhetoric that has all social media abuzz is more interesting to me than which host said what. It’s not so much the hosts who are irritating as it is the fact that that the overall man-in-suit-behind-a-bigass-desk-with-a-coffee-mug late night talk show format is ridiculously outdated.
#3) I do think that “Work Hard and Be Nice” is good advice, although don’t forget about the part that goes something like “As Long As You’re Raking In Millions.”

This one’s more serious. It’s a phrase I’ve had stuck in my head since yesterday, more along the lines of one of my art idols, Barbara Kruger. Particularly her piece “Cram Life Into Death,” which I have in a book but can’t seem to find on the internet. I was also trying to think of what was the opposite of a crown. A dunce’s cap? A jester’s hat? An executioner’s mask? The point of a stiletto heel? A combat boot? Ah, yes. A weird, mocking, mask-like smiley face that looks not unlike the monster in Miyizaki’s Spirited Away. What does “DON’T do” really mean? Verbally? In a public service poster?

I’m not much into party politics, but I find the Supreme Court’s recent ruling highly disturbing. In the vein of the Passing the Buck piece I did several months ago, I just made these two flags, inspired by this Adbusters flag.
