I love this but unfortunately know nothing more about the artist aside from their Reddit profile, which doesn’t offer much. I’d really like to see more of their work.
Also, it’s nearly 2AM and I’m still awake. I tried going to bed two hours ago, but clearly that hasn’t worked out to my liking. The whole getting back on a normal sleep schedule thing is a major fail right now.
The other day, I reblogged Charleston City Paper and mentioned I would be walking in A Fashion Show on Saturday. Well, it ended up being a lot of fun, and I absolutely loved all of Erin’s pieces. She did an amazing job, and I was so happy for her afterward when many people stopped me to say that the look I was wearing was their favorite in the show. This picture does the skirt no justice, so hopefully more pictures from the show will surface soon. I really wish I could have kept it.
Heather Koonse, owner of the Rose Knot, an alteration and custom design studio on King Street, is hosting A Fashion Show at City Gallery at Waterfront Park this weekend. The night will feature collections from Koonse, Margaret Chandler, Kim Hines, Shelley Smith, Michael Wiernicki, and Erin Perkins (or highheelsandtwowheels to all you Tumblrs out there).
I’m going to be modeling for Erin in the show, and I’m really hoping I don’t embarrass her by falling on my face or throwing up all over her beautiful clothes. Honestly, though, I’m far more excited to see her finished pieces than I am nervous. I have another fitting today, so I’m looking forward to seeing how things are coming along.
“Alley by the Lake” by Leonid Afremov. I absolutely love this painting and need to get a print of it.

Someone took all the individual frames for movies and compressed them into single images. The results are pretty cool.
To encourage literature and the arts is a duty which every good citizen owes to his country.

About a month ago, I posted a link to an article about the proposed budget cuts for South Carolina including the Arts Commission. I was just searching google to see what was going on with that and discovered @scartscomm. A couple days ago they posted this quote to their Twitter feed.
And now it’s time for another one of my thoroughly unpretentious art critiques: I dig it.
I’m a sucker for anything Victrola related… it’s amazing how such a simple, iconic machine is reproduced in print a million times over and always maintains a air of mystery and wonderment.
I find this photo extra funny now that I’ve finally made up my mind not to finish my degree.

As an artist, I should probably be able to say more about this than, “it’s fucking awesome,” but it’s fucking awesome. I’m an unpretentious art critic. Unless, of course, I really don’t like something. But this, this is fucking awesome.
