Intersection of woe and my eyes, they burn..

Sometimes, you just shouldn't mix your craftgrrl side with your fangrrl side...

Heidi of MyPaperCrane usually makes cutesy anthropomorphic objects, but she crossed a line with her creepy Star Wars dolls.

Artist's response....

I often forget this blog is not only public but searchable... well, it's not that I forget, just that I don't really think about it. So anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to get a response from the artist to a little post I put up about his work over a year ago. The artist in question is Thomas Allen, and I blogged about his Good Light series of pulp novels-as-art.

He was amused by the banter in the comments, and then quietly pimped his forthcoming book, Uncovered, to be released in fall 2007 by Aperture (a very kick-ass press that publishes some of the finest photography out there.... and some of the weirdest I've seen, now that I think about it... we get their journal here in the library, and many times I have stood there totally sidetracked as I "just flipped through" to look at the issue I was shelving).

Aaaaanyway.

Turns out Thomas Allen also has a blog ... and, he's an engaging writer as well as a clever artist.
