Artist Turns Subjects Into Breathing Canvases
08/23/11 -- In The Name of Art
“Being painted by Alexa Meade goes way beyond just sitting in a comfy chair, but at least you don’t have to look like an oil painting – she does that bit. Meade takes a unique approach to her portraits by making her models a part of the artwork, as well as its subject. She turns their bodies into living and breathing canvases, brushing paint directly on to them. Her props and surroundings are liberally coated with acrylic paint to make them part of the experience. When photographed together, the model appears to become one with its surroundings, as though they are a two-dimensional part of the canvas. The effect is so striking that some people find it hard to believe the photograph is not a conventional paint-on-canvas work.” w/ photos
Monkey Statues Used To Stop Speeding?
08/23/11 -- Wacky News
“Police officers in China have come up with an unusual measure to deter speeding drivers – by dressing stone monkey statues in fluorescent jackets. Clearly not content with the outcomes of speed cameras and sleeping policemen, traffic enforcers have turned to the novel idea of playing dress-up with animal statues. Wearing police issue high-vis vests, the monkeys have been positioned along the roadside in the city of Changsha. One installation shows a collection of stone primates huddled around a tree, glaring out at the oncoming traffic, one is carved swinging from a branch as another sits mesmerized by his feet. The law enforcers in the capital city of southern China’s Hunan Province hope that the strange statues will remind drivers to not break the law. Quite how well the monkeys will reduce traffic offenses remains to be seen.” w/ photo

SPAM Lip Glaze
08/23/11 -- Neat Products
“SPAM Lip Glaze makes your lips happy. It protects them from the stresses of life a bit (hey, it’s got some Aloe in there) and tastes like meat. Heck, it could possibly even be used as a diet aid (wear the taste of meat instead of eating it). We’ll leave all the uses of SPAM Lip Glaze to your imagination; but in our imagination, you are slowly putting on some SPAM Lip Glaze while empting your SPAM folder (while listening to your copy of Spamalot, of course). Oh yeah.” w/ photos
