A Dead Deer on the Steps of the New Museum
Save Samizdat is a website that has videos of a(n) (art? direct action?) group that interferes with daily life, particularly that of the art elite an their museums and galleries, by bring animals into the mix. The most striking of these videos, in my opinion, is that of a roadkill deer left on the steps [...]

The Unseen Ghosts Brigade
This video is really black metal. I keep expect the hobo or mark twain to try to sacrifice Diamond Bessie. They are The Unseen Ghosts Brigade. Some of my friends are joining in the fine anarcho tradition of building giant strange rafts out of dumpstered materials and floating them down the Mississippi to New Orleans. [...]

My friend Emilja takes awsome photos
My friend Emilja takes awesome photos, mostly of the awesome various anarcho house punks of Asheville. But the most recent photos on their flickr are of Ida, which is basically queer happy wonderland, where I was last year but this year I appear to be in Stockholm. So I’m looking at the photos.

Dodgem Logic Number Two Is Out!
I haven’t gotten to see it yet (combine international shipping with my itinerant nature), but Dodgem Logic #2 is out now. Dodgem Logic is Alan Moore’s current brainchild, essentially a 60s counterculture magazine for the modern era (replete with strange illustrations of naked people, and advice about how to overthrow the government!). This second issue [...]

AK Press’s new office in Baltimore
My friend John sent me some pictures he took outside the new AK Press office in Baltimore. Weird medium-format camera + rusty old stuff + snow = awesome.

Dodgem Logic: Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about
I got my copy of Alan Moore’s new underground magazine Dodgem Logic in the mail a few days ago and have been reading through it, pretty excitedly. Just finished it last night. And this thing is weird. Yet accessible. It’s very clearly in the spirit of 1960′s counterculture magazines, complete with the bizarre cartoon nudity, [...]

Public Domain For The Win!
Today I started a new website, Public Domain For The Win, in which I will dump public domain etchings and woodcarvings and general graphic goodness as high-quality tiff files. This is one of the main resources I use personally for my graphic design and such, so I figured I would try to make it as [...]

Elizabeth Gilbert on the creative daemon
This 19 minute video is a really amazing talk that gets into the power of myth in modern culture–specifically, citing the lack of it as part of the problem. Really, this video is an excellent use of 19 minutes if you’re up to any sort of creative endeavor. The idea she gets across–that one person’s [...]
