^ My favorite ^

I saw this fellow's work on the same trip as the first Marcel Dzama sighting and was completely BLOWN away. In person these pictures...the way he processes them....they are almost ethereal, they look like paintings...the colors are so rich and the paper they are printed on has this unbelievable sheen to it. Its so hard to describe...its almost supernatural.

I think I love his pictures so much because each one seems to have a really powerful story behind it. Not like...there are a bunch of flowers on this broad's bed, whats up with that? More like this woman is missing something powerful in her life, what is it? And the audience can go from there. Thats why the first picture is SO epic. It has such a clear narrative which is also malleable.

yada yada, I kinda love working at the library because people return books and I am exposed to so many things I've forgotten or never experienced.

till next time.

ps. more outfit posts in the future...if any one even reads this thingie.

Darger & Dzama

Henry Darger:

So, I basically grew up with this strange Darger fellow...not literally... but mi papi was obsessed. then wrote a book, now we own one...blah blah blah. So, one day, on a trip into the city (NY) I was visiting some galleries and one of them had the MOST amazing sculptures. Little did I know they were by and based on drawings by one Mr. Dzama. I am pretty sure everything he touches turns to amazing. AND given his similarities to Darger it is no surprise I love him so.

Marcel Dzama:

Holy.
