What I really like about Kai Althoff’s practice is the way that some of it parallels my own art practice.

Bang-On, iron-on pop culture, sells belt buckles. Heavy, solid, licensed, genuine belt buckles. Aztec calendars, bull skulls and snakes, heart-breakers, pirates, and dead Indians in feather head-dresses.

One of the things I would like to do over Christmas is make paper. At home we have two boxes of computer cartridge paper, printed mostly on both sides, of information that we don’t need. The Upstairs Family is undergoing a major revamp, and the newly organized and tidied place is looking swell. I want [...]

One of the joys of the internet, for voracious bookworms short on pennies, is finding a gold mine of knowledge! The latest vein I’ve tapped is here- I basically find a small thing I don’t know about and then google about it until I do know something about it.
