All the Dude that’s fit to print

Just saw that the book cover of The Year’s Work in Lebowski Studies (featuring my Dude illustration) made the front page of The New York Times (albeit below the fold).

I’m sorry. I wasn’t listening.

“A massive underground sensation, The Big Lebowski has been hailed as the first cult film of the internet age. In this book, 21 fans and scholars address the film’s influences—westerns, noir, grail legends, the 1960s, and Fluxus—and its historical connections to the first Iraq war, boomers, slackerdom, surrealism, college culture, and of course bowling. The Year’s Work in Lebowski Studies contains neither arid analyses nor lectures for the late-night crowd, but new ways of thinking and writing about film culture.”

VECTORLAND Opening

Thanks to everyone who made it out to Ultra Pop! last Friday and thanks to Ultra Paul for the venue. Come December 4th, he’s going to take it all down and ceremoniously chuck it into the Ohio river so giddy up and see it if you didn’t get a chance yet. Here are some photos from opening night.

Jesus Tested, Liam Approved

Jim Hoosier (“Liam” from The Big Lebowski) stopped by my set-up at the last Los Angeles Downtown Art Walk to inspect my “Dios Mio” art print. We were able to snap this photo just before some purple jump-suited creep accosted my both shouting something about a day of rest and what he was going to do to me on Wednesday. Luckily a bag of bird seed fell from his pants and he ran off in humiliation.

Who’s a good boy?

So the day is finally here. My art show VECTORLAND opens tonight and I don’t know what to say about it that I haven’t already said. My brain is caught in a fog of tryptophan and Claratin-D™ and I want to spend my last day in Louisville driving around and pointing out what’s changed and not sitting here hunched over a laptop in Highland coffee*. But I’ve got to keep the updates coming so please enjoy this photo of me and my dog Ringo until I think of something better to post.
