Paper Cuts & Gluesticks
Friday night I went over to Rocky River with a gang of girls and checked out the brand new Paper Cuts and Gluesticks. Beautiful space, awesome people, and they do classes too. I have to admit I overdosed on chocolate covered Oreo cookies; also had no idea Pringle chips dipped in chocolate were a whole thing in itself. Here are some photos, it was a really great group show of mixed media, collage and paper pieces...

The Munny Show @ Shoparooni
Yesterday was the Munny show at Shoparooni. I had yet another birthday party to attend so I could only drop by a little before the actual judging began -- I'm sure the final prize winners will be posted on the Shoparooni website because so many were pouring in that I probably should have taken more photos of. (Wtf, why are all my friends cramping my art farting outings these days? Stop getting old you bastards! Oh who am I kidding, if I wasn't an alcohol enthusiast I'd be agoraphobic at this point in my life and never go out at all.) Anywhoo, here are some photos...
This was my favorite!
Some kids getting in on the contest
Rancid!
And holy crap look at that, I was so inspired I got myself a Munny! No not this kind, but you get the idea. No idea what I'll do with him, but stay tuned. And yes, they'll be doing this again in November if you feel inspired too!

American Splendor in April '08
Starting in April it is a whole new series of "American Splendor" by Harvey Pekar. You can get more info and a list of artists at DC Vertigo here. Harvey also collaborated on a new book called "Students for a Democratic Society".
And if you are into jazz, tonight on WCPN at 11pm will also be a little program called Boppin' with Pekar where he'll be talking about music and his new book.

Hey, Look Where I'm Working Now...
Yes indeedy. I'll be helping to put my touch on some new products as well -- can you say fun or what?
There is an Etsy shop as well for those of you not in the area, I'll be updating it more this week with the BUTT LOAD of stuffed animals and patterns I found today. Hey look at that, I have yarn named after me. But, I think I need this pillow...

Stuff and Things
Hi Fructose Magazine knows what's going on. Last issue had a piece on Scott Radke, and now this coming issue has one on Amy Casey who's stuff I love. Hi Fructose is awesome in that it is much like Juxtapoz but without all the noise -- you know what I mean. You might find a few little images by yours truly in the back-issues too.
The weekend leading up to Easter has some stuff I've marked on my calendar:
Friday the 21st at MOCA, you can catch Parts and Labor along with Ryan from Paik opening. I thought it was going to be just Paik but I guess they made some changes. That'll be $6 smackers, unless you are a MOCA member, then it is free.
Saturday the 22nd is the Munny show at Shoparooni of course.
Other than that, if you are an artist or business in the Cleveland area with some cool swag, C-Space is gearing up for their benefit auction. You can contact kate@clevelandspace.org for more info. Deadline is May 30th.

Rock Hall, you crack me up at times
This has nothing to do with art per se, but one of my favorite bands from my home town of Ann Arbor, The Stooges, are playing tonight on the VH1 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee ceremony show. I find it funny that they are playing the same night that Madonna is getting inducted -- how annoying really.
I have to say that even though the Rock Hall has some cool stuff, I really don't hold out any hope on the new plan to have the ceremony actually held in Cleveland on a bi-yearly basis. In fact, I'm waiting to see just how bad it gets screwed up. I mean, these are the same people that said hosting CMJ was too much work for them and they bagged it only after 2 years. Yeah, they can have music festivals in the middle of the desert and make it huge, yet having a music festival take place at the Rock Hall is just too over their heads. An annual music festival with national/international cachet could have been really good for Cleveland and yet they pulled the plug before it had the chance to get rolling; bad organization, bad marketing, and overall crappy line-ups with a few quality acts sprinkled on top. The whole thing made me wonder if any advance research or planning went into it at all. God forbid they hire extra help to run the festival or pay good people with experience to guide them in the planning stages. Well, that's a non-profit organization for you isn't it?
But I do have a funny story about The Stooges and the Rock Hall. Not long ago, a copy of Rolling Stone was banned at my husband's office, in part, due to a photo of Iggy Pop and his bare butt. Seems it was sexual harassment! You can read all about it here. Later, the company has their holiday party, at the Rock Hall. So not only does this company ban Rolling Stone from the office and then decide to have a function at the Rock Hall, they put in a dress code on top of it. How rock n' roll they must have felt! So my husband wears his mod suit...with a Stooges button to accent it.
"Is there an exhibit in particular you were looking to see?" asks a docent during the party. "Yeah, where's The Stooges exhibit?" he asks in front of some HR people. They totally didn't get it, or see the hypocrisy in any of this. The office voted him best-dressed man at the party on top of it.
