i went to see the warhol exhibit at the new gallery of modern art this morning. it didn’t change my perception of the man or his work, but it reinforced the notion of warhol as an astute observer and exploiter of the zeitgeist that surrounded him.
i wonder if in a parallel universe, andy warhol is alive today and making prints of osama bin laden, paris hilton and iphones?
slightly cool
just saw the bourne ultimatum and it was excellent. i have to say it felt pretty cool to have visited every city in the film, bar turin, italy (and taken a lot of the same journeys too). actually turin is pretty much on the way from rome to zermatt, switzerland. hmm…

in an effort to keep this blog fairly free of bile, i’ve decided to channel my frustrations into another blog: critiquent. specifically for longer rants which would not necessarily be topical for this blog. enjoy?

robbed i tell you!
not really. just checked on threadless for the first time in ages, and lo a behold a recent winner seems oddly familiar. admittedly my one and only submission was pretty awful. hey, it was three years ago — gimme a break!

a little of me died...
recently, when i caved to the social networking phenomenon. not really. i set up a facebook account to keep in contact with travelling companions, and a myspace account to better keep up with friends back home.
update: once enough friends had progressed to facebook, i deleted that myspace good!

Didn’t you see this exact same thing at MoMA? I did.

The photo is from the MoMA, as I didn’t bring a camera with me — but they did have the Campbell’s soup series there. But it was much more extensive than that — it was 3 large rooms of just Warhol works. But it did cost $20 to get in. Fortunatley it’s a tax deductible expense.
