Pictures at the Art Fair

Most of these I just found funny.

For instance, "Which came first?" The egg is inside the chicken shadow box:

"There is Wisdom in the Raven's Head," or guts, as the case may be:

This one was pretty cool, but I forgot to write down the title..:

The same artist made this one, "Road Hog,":



I swear that guy was behind me on the way to the archive that morning. Seriously, I paused for two seconds because I thought I was about to run a four-way stop and someone behind me lay on his horn, big and obnoxious, as if he were one of those Boston Mass-holes. Hell, the Mass-holes would have thought he was an asshole, a big, ole, gassy asshole.

He really was big, too. He had a good 105 lbs on me, and he drove one of those massive SUV pick-ups that looked like it hadn't seen a speck of mud or real work in its entire, polished life. He probably could have driven right over my little, rented compact with out-of-state plates and not left a scratch. Then, he gave me the bird, just like the sculpture. All because I kept him from getting to the stop light two seconds earlier. Not missing a green light, but getting to the red light.

How nice that his essence was captured by this artist.

You don't often see this, do you? Very creative millinery:

I love it! That witches hat on top looks like something from Harry Potter. Also notice the top hat on the bottom rack.

Jeez! Does everyone have to get on the Lincoln bandwagon? After three years of generally substandard historical works that could all be called  My Speciality and Lincoln, I expected better of artist at a juried fair. After all, they don't have to deal with Lincoln. Do they?

Shoot, now I'm getting grumpy. Here's a sock-monkey Hamlet to cheer me up:



"Why I'm late for work":

"Thoreau is driven from the garden by unruly nature":

My favorite artist I saved for another post.
