Mostly Pillowy Girls

The other day at the Beguiling I saw that Dave Cooper has a new book out!  It’s a sequel to Overbite: Drawings and Paintings of Mostly Pillowy Girls cleverly entitled Underbelly: Additional Observations on the Beauty/Ugliness of Mostly Pillowy Girls

It’s the perfect book if your idea of beauty is at once both Rubenesque and a little ghoulish.

Oscar Oscar!

Well, the Oscar nominations are out, and they’re a bit of a yawn.  But every year I try and see all of the films with major nominations (picture, direction, acting, writing).  This year I have more to catch up on than usual.  I’ve crossed out the ones I’ve already got under my belt:

==

• The Aviator
• Finding Neverland
• Million Dollar Baby
• Ray
• Sideways
• Vera Drake
• Hotel Rwanda
• Collateral
• Closer
• Being Julia
• Maria Full of Grace
• Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
• Kinsey
• Before Sunset
• The Motorcycle Diaries
• The Incredibles

I’ve got a lot of catching up to do… And speaking of the Oscars, is it just me or is this year’s poster and art direction absolutely hideous?  Mixing Frutiger with Compacta? I guess the designer just chose fonts at random…

But I suppose it’s better than last year, when apparently the theme was “digital clip-art circa 1993"…
