So, if you didn’t get to Grand Rapids for the event, I thought I would summarize some of what you missed so you could talk about it over the water cooler and appear hip and with it with your artsy-fartsy friends.




3rd place, Portraits by Eric Daigh. Any horror buff will immediately be able to see the similarities. The portraits are made with thumbtacks and push pins. Oooo, office supplies as art.


5th place, Moose by Bill Secunda. Look out Mr. Moose, you never know when Sarah Palin will be in Grand Rapids for some helicopter huntin’.


7th place, Field of Reeds by John Douglas Powers. Okay, I will admit that this one is probably the coolest out of all the winners, but I can’t help but think it looks like a big dog brush.


9th place, Ecstasy of ... by Jason Hackenwerth. Balloons? Really? Is this (and the silly paper airplanes) what the art world has become? Jeff Koons needs to be taken out NOW.


10th place, winddancer 2 by Michael Westra. Nuff said.
Before I hear any calls of sour grapes, please note that all these references were made by my artsy fartsy friends when discussing the artwork. You can thank me later for saving you the trip north to Grand Rapids. : )
Love the comparisons! Especially pinhead, one of my favorite villains of all-time.
ReplyDeleteYeah-I was a bit surprised by the winner...really? Waves of water-like that subject has never been visited! I was hoping for the Disco Jesus!
ReplyDeleteWow! Scared of you. You're one tough bitch.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I need to know more about this Disco Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss that???
At Adam, I had thought of making a blog called Art Bitch. Decided against it.
