halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. i know its not october yet but the weather is starting to get cooler (as cool as it can in florida this time of year), department stores have stocked the aisles with candy and costumes, and the freaks are ready to be the norm. time to dust of my sisters of mercy, swans and danzig cds. here are a few of my drawings with a halloween theme. each one has a haiku if you would like to read them or see other silly drawing by van cannon kirby you can go to haikus & charicatoos. happy halloween everyone a bit early!

Übermensch

2007-05-15T21:54:00.000-07:00

so last friday i showed "superman returns" for film night. another film that a lot of my friends didnt like but that i enjoyed very much. i especially loved the nod to nietzsche with the headline on the paper "superman is dead" and then i really enjoyed when the camera pans out to reveal yet another paper with the heading "superman is alive."

what im listening to while posting: ryan adams, "heartbreaker"

mayfaire

2007-05-03T11:50:00.000-07:00

getting ready for the polk museum of art's annual fine arts show mayfaire-by-the-lake. my photo is b&w one in the middle. cross your fingers and hope i sell some work. i usually sell a good amount. could use it right now with a new baby on the way and all.

what im listening to: wolf parade, "apologies to the queen mary"

match point

2007-04-24T13:57:00.000-07:00

showed "match point" for film night on friday. discussion was excellent. helped that i am teaching both "crime & punishment" and "crimes and misdemeanors" in class right now, since "c&m" is an existentialists(woody allen) retelling of "c&p" and "match point" is woody allen retelling "c&m." alot of people hated on this film but i really enjoyed it. woody allen seems to really want to believe, he just cant make himself. never-the-less, a beautifully made film and a nice change to more recent woody allen films.

what im listening to: the teddybears, "soft machine"

the flaming lips

2007-04-13T10:43:00.000-07:00

saw the flaming lips last night in orlando. was the best show ive ever seen. it was literally unbelievable. like a dream. if you ever get a chance to see them you should do it. i cant explain how awesome it was. ive never experienced anything like it. everything i hoped for and more. thanks richie for the ticket!
