A co-worker was forwarded an email that included an opinion piece about the coming war, and it referenced Guernica a few times, mostly used in adjective form, such as this ‘Guernican war’. Anyway, he turned to me and asked, “What’s geurnica?” Well, not knowing what he was reading at the time, my first response was Picasso’s painting, Guernica. And I went looking for a suitable link to point him to that would have an image, and an explaination of the story behind it. While doing that, I stumbled across GUE8Z!CA, an interesting project by our friends at entropy8zuper!. It’s a bit haunting, but I definitely found it engaging. If you’re interested in viewing it, you’ll need to get the blender plug-in for your browser. You can find it at blender3d.org.

You also might want to make your way over to Carnivore as well, if for no other reason than to check out the quicktime movie Police State. There’s no telling where you’ll go from there.

In keeping with the art theme of this post, G.K. posted a great piece on Basquiat that’s just chock full of links. My new favourite link is Stencil Revolution. I haven’t done a silkscreen/stencil in ages, so this is looking sweet.

For those still mourning the passing of Oolong, the pancake-wearing rabbit… bunnies.
