…that Fox is canceling King of the Hill?
My theory is that Peggy Hill looks too much like Sarah Palin (or vice versa), and the executives at Fox are so depressed about McCain/Palin losing that they just have to cancel the show.

RIP Dad
My father died today at 11AM after a 9 month battle with esophageal. All his family was there.
Here’s a sketch I did quite a while ago, for a painting:
I may post something a little better at some point, but right now that’s all I’ve got on the computer, and it’s about all I want to deal with.
Poetry
We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.
–William Butler Yeats

from SkullADay was on the Martha Stewart show today, promoting his book Skulls! (of which I was one of the lucky winners drawn for the signed copy for my papercraft skull–see my previous post), which looks real nice from the glimpse we got on the show, showing off some of his Skull_A_Day creations, and making skull potoato stamps. Looks like a fun time was had by all. There’s more about his experience on his blog.
Can’t wait to get my copy of the book!
Speaking of Rude Sculpture
(See my previous post.)
Here’s an interview with Richard Serra, arguably the most controversial sculptor of our times.
In the Eighties Serra created one of the most controversial works of public art of the 20th century, a curved wall of steel entitled Tilted Arc . It stood, 12 feet high and 120 feet long, in Federal Plaza in Manhattan for just eight years, while local opposition reached such a pitch that, after a combative public hearing in 1985, a jury voted that the piece should be dismantled and removed. Serra sued the federal government over the issue of ownership but, after a protracted and bitter court battle, lost his appeal. In May 1989 the piece was cut into three parts and consigned to a New York warehouse where it has languished ever since.
‘I don’t think it is the function of art to be pleasing,’ a bruised but bullish Serra said at the time. ‘Art is not democratic. It is not for the people.’ His attitude did little to endear him to the New York public, even as the contemporary art world rallied around him.
