I was perusing the internet to find one of my favorite comedians, Anthony Jeselnik’s brutal performance on the Charlie Sheen roast, which led me to his performance on the Trump roast, which in turn led me to this. The Situation of Jersey Shore fame, trying his had at comedy and FAILING MISERABLY. Enjoy, or don’t.

VCU in 1977. This video kept me up a good hour longer than I needed last night, watching and rewatching. Former VCU art professor, the late Glenn Hamm captured this amazing footage back in 1977 all over Grace Street, Monroe Park and what looks like parts of Franklin Street. It’s so cool being able to see what the area looked like over 40 years ago, and to see what’s still standing. Music and editing was done by Glenn Hamm’s son, Carl “DJ Carlito” Hamm.

So, this happened at the New York Governor’s Debate yesterday. It’s sort of surreal that it’s not a staged moment, whether or not Jimmy McMillan is serious or not. I don’t think I could legitimately vote for this guy, but he does make a valid point - the rent is too damn high.

Jonathan Hirsch “Paintings” at Cous Cous
“My name is Lazer Dragon” by Jonathan Hirsch
I meant to put this up last week, but time got away from me. My good friend Jonathan (or as most of his friends call him, Jon Jon) had an art opening at Cous Cous last Thursday, and we went to check it out. The show is pretty impressive both in size and quality of work, and it runs through the end of the month. The flyer above uses a painting he did based on a photo he took of me last year during a scavenger hunt we both went on. It’s not quite life size, but it’s almost there. If you get a chance to swing by and check out the show, it’s totally worth your time.

I present to you, the Diana camera tote bag.
A month ago I printed a metric ton of tote bags for Quirk Gallery’s 5 year anniversary. I also printed that shirt for my lady friend, and at her behest I’ve printed them again on totes for your buying pleasure. It’s a two color print on an off white tote, all cotton. I dropped off 10 of them at Quirk, and I believe they are selling for $14, but I have some of them as well, so get in touch (brandonpeck @ gmail dot com) if you’d like to pick one up!

I know it’s old news and all, but not only is this an incredible arrangement, but it’s also really interesting to see how real life inspires internet memes, thus inspiring real life. Plus, look how happy everyone in the video is. I couldn’t help but smile myself.

Daily Art Project:
So yesterday was my girlfriend, Diana’s birthday, and I made this shirt for her as one of her presents. I’ve been tossing around printing toy cameras for a while, so it only made sense to try out the one with her name on it. I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I’m doing with this idea, but this is the first step.
Diana and I have been talking about trying to make something, anything, once every day, using our blogs as a means to present these art projects and keep ourselves motivated. I’m not sure if this is the first in that steady line of projects to come, but I figured I’d give it a shot anyway in an effort to motivate myself. Ready, set, go!
