This is a pretty graphic indictment of our disregard for the environment, I think.

Disrupting the cultural assimilation of gay-oriented and corporate-friendly drag, she positions herself at an uncomfortable tangent to the conservative ... http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=1061 I have no idea where I found this little gem... but I sure do love this project.

As I slowly began moving forward I saw this amazing, huge bird on the street. I think it might have been a hawk. It had an enormous yellow beak, long tail feathers and ... http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=1059 I really do just love Carrie Marill's work. She makes these astoundingly beautiful, precious gauche paintings. The other day she gave a short talk at the ASU Art Museum about her participation in the show that's currently in the main gallery. I wasn't so sure about her most recent paintings, frankly. ... http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=1035 Mel recently asked if I had any good readings on death... what a question.

The faculty who's ... http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=957 Every time I wrap my New Yorker onto itself while riding the light rail, I think of the jolting, crowded, smelly 7 train.

The car was put in the ground next to his wife's grave. On the passenger seat: his gun collection. http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=907 When I left the city, I was so relieved to look out a window and not see a brick wall! So, I'm a bit confused by why this has so much appeal for me... I have a huge wall in my living room where this would fit perfectly! http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=791 A student recently asked me when was the last time I saw a piece of art that made me swoon...

Who is the 1970's artist who posed for several self-portraits with small gum vulvae affixed to her body?

They consider their work a form of graffitti and call their installations "tags."  I love how the van becomes a sort of clown car with (mostly) white girls spilling out to accomplish the absurd. http://jonovelli.com/blog/?p=626 I was at Let Them Eat Cake this past weekend and asked the baker if she knew about this recipe for homemade fondant.
