Ray Johnson: New York’s most famous unknown artist.


“Founding Father of Mail Art" and one of the best collage artists in my opinion.

"All aspects of his death, revolved around the number "13". His age 67 = 6+7=13, the room number at his hotel was 247 which adds to 13, the date: Jan 13, etc." People believe his suicide was his final performance.

A clip of his memorial show after his suicide in 1995, HERE.

Check out this wacky artist and documentary, How to Draw a Bunny, HERE.

Party like its 1-3-8-8!

Happy New Year! or should I say Happy Norooz? or even better Ediet Mobarak!
If you have no idea what I am talking about, I am celebrating the Persian New Year. It falls on the first day of spring - doesn't that just make so much more sense, than celebrating the new year in the dead of winter?? Anywho this year the festivities began exactly at 7:44 am, eastern time, March 20th, 2009, although on the Persian calender it is now 1388!
Below I have posted one of the best documentaries I have seen on Iran. Rick Steve covers the rich Persian culture and history of the first civilization. Please watch this video and educate yourself on the real Iran you may not already know.

Klaus Nomi: Opera meets Pop

The Nomi Song is a documentary I recently saw based on a German countertenor Klaus Sperber, or better known as Klaus Nomi. Interesting story from the late 70's, early 80's on the New Wave movement in New York City.

Check out the trailer below to get a peek at this bizarre artist's life.
