Airborne again today and returning home. More later...

Tortillism

Painter Joe Bravo is raising eyebrows with his current exhibit at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Los Angeles because Bravo paints on tortillas.

His tortilla paintings sell for as much as $1,800.

No truth to the rumor that a new series of pico de gallo installations are forthcoming.

MacO'Sullivan?

What's it with Washington Post art critics wanting to wear kilts? First Blake Gopnik wants to be a MacGopnik and now I get the below image showing WaPo art critic Michael O'Sullivan.


Seen here, Michael O'Sullivan (on the left getting ready to photograph the gent wearing the utilikilt) contemplates the possibilty of adding a utilikilt to his DC wardrobe.

It's a rare thing

For DC area TV stations to pay any attention to the visual arts, and thus we applaud the fact that tomorrow morning (Thursday April 5) Fox 5 Morning News will be broadcasting the morning news from the Washington Glass School.

From 6 am to 9 am, reporter Tony Perkins will be doing live segments where Tony tries his hand at new skills. Tony is scheduled to make cast glass awards, lampwork, draw with glass powder, and try other glass related workings with the gang at the Washington Glass School.
