Art we can all appreciate

Chris Jordan's works depict some staggering figures for everybody to take in and hopefully allow us to put our (actually America's, but close enough) consumption into perspective.

Amusing Film by Kent Monkman

Last year when I visited the National Gallery I was quite intrigued with a display of Cree artist Kent Monkman's paintings. His work is deeply satirical and almost every role possible is reversed resulting in quite an interesting take on many different, but all familiar, scenes. He also makes films and I discovered this one today starring the lovely Miss Chief Eagle Testickle (I believe that Monkman plays her role), the main character in almost all his work. Intrigued?

Happy Halloween

Hey everyone,
Is everyone excited for the Halloween Howl at the School this Friday? I was wondering how many people still make there costumes? It seems like Halloween has changed a lot since I was a kid and probably it has completely changed since people my parents' age were kids. When I was younger I would always wear a homemade costume. There is a pretty cool website that has DIY projects on pretty much anything:
