Saw the Jan Gossaert show at the met today. His madonna's are pretty creepy, but his portraits are interesting- his work is this weird mishmash of flemish draughtsmanship & feeling & italianate colour and modeling. it was interesting.
Last wednesday, the lovely & talented Gabe Pinto and myself created the worlds saddest bear mascot. He has two broken limbs, a stump, a squeaky shopping cart wheel instead of a leg, and whooping cough. I think we could make a million dollars with this via Hot Topic.
