The dark's not so bad if you keep moving through it.

Words are shadows when attempting to describe profound internal experiences, and remember that shadows are subject to interpretation if you can’t see what’s casting them. Expect that not everyone who reads your words will see the same depths (or perhaps any).

I will be in NYC the second weekend in April, and I am trying to find a list of all Rothkos on view right now in the city. I have been calling/Googling museums with mixed results. Do you know if anyone maintains a current list of NYC Rothkos on view? Thanks!

I don’t know of anything like that exactly, you can look at the Museum sites and search usually what’s on view. But the rothko foundation doesn’t do that kind of thing. I am sorry not to be of more help.

“Hannibal Did This” Contest Entry

My name is Peter Stuart Lakanen, I am a U.S. citizen living in Florida who is over 18 years of age.

Mixed media, including document forgery for the Self-Assessment Survey; printing for Will’s writing on the survey; set design and art direction for staging the scene with print-outs, props and the manufactured survey; photography for shooting the scene; digital illustration for the logo treatment (using fiftythree’s app Paper on my iPad); and digital compositing. I think that’s it. Oh wait… There’s also the backwoods, Grand Guignol activities I staged to make the… umm… stuff in the small, white ceramic ramekin. Best to keep those details to myself.

NOTE: The two color anatomical illustrations are from the Historical Collection at Wellcome Library, whose web site states: “Hi-res historical images are also available to download from this site free of charge, for any usage, under a Creative Commons Attribution Only – CC-BY licence.” Furthermore their Terms of Use plainly state: “All historical, Wellcome-owned images published, broadcast or made available in any medium existing now or developed in the future shall be licensed according to the Creative Commons Attribution only licence CC BY 2.0.

And finally, if you’re interested in some Hannibal-oriented art in my typical style, you might enjoy this visualized quote taken from the episode “Rôti.” This is not an additional contest entry.
