Ice Follies—II

The Joy of Skating


 ~ Last week, when my daughter and I went ice-skating, I meant to include in the post a picture of this piece of her art:

The joy of skating | autism art

It is a self-portrait of course.

This picture, along with several others, have been made into greeting/Christmas cards. As the text ("About the artist") on the back reads in part:
[She] is a young adult with autism whose
drawings have been described as primitive, imaginative, and whimsical
with an amazing eye to proportion and detail.
The cards are available at finer stores. However, we have altogether too many big box monstrosities and not nearly enough finer stores, so contact me if you want to get some.

The Purpose of Art

To Provoke


Artstrike | What's mine is mine, what's yours is ours

 ~ The manufactured and fictitious crisis of the so-called fiscal cliff has provoked a lot of people. Time to provoke a broader audience about the real crisis, and to replace the bogus framing of the problem.

We're not broke—we're being looted.

More from Artstrike, including this evocative poem:
Artstrike | Prosperity not austerity

Proverbs 22:16
by Elizabeth Conall

what do they care
if we can’t pay
the bills run up
to keep us alive?
to save our kids?
why bother with
expensive care
we don’t deserve?
plenty more
where we came from

Plenty more serfs out there. Read the whole thing.

Unlike the other, alas, it is not current, but historical. More here.
