I would love to see a you/b collaboration! Holy shit that would be awesome.
Also, you both build kick-ass chicken coops. You should work that in somehow.
I get this guys tweets, ever since your Eris pikky, love it.
Oh shit, and here he is again! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/10/most-wtf-politician-portraits_n_781370.html#s178612
That's one of his older paintings and it's in our friend's bathroom. I wonder who sent it in??
This is GOLD, Nigel!
I am kind of thrilled! He's getting some serious play!
Reminds me of a saying; it takes years of work to become famous overnight.

Hah
that one does exemplify more of the WTF(?) than what's truly astonishing about bi's stuff. In the few short years of painting he's really gotten on top of the realism and literal element in his representation, like, technically good. that's what blows me away about his shit.
THE HAMS ARE FUNNY

Thanks, and yes. :)
I'm TOTALLY going larding.
Also, from a friend:
Quotei like the one of Nixon who looks like he stole a ham and just got caught. i also like the one of McKinley who looks like you would have to pry that ham out of his cold dead hands.
Woodrow Wilson's is actually very disturbing.
These are excellent. Get me a Teddy Roosevelt!

He did 'em all!
There's going to be a President's Day show of all of them at the gallery in Powell's.

The presidential ham meme seems to have legs.
VERY cool!
As promised, here's info on B's Presidential Ham opening at Powell's this Thursday night:
http://www.psuvanguard.com/arts-culture/a-new-american-legacy-1.2453948
Quote"The Presidential Ham" debuts this Thursday at the Basil Hallward Gallery in the art room of Powell's Books on Burnside. The paintings aren't for sale, but there will be prints available. As an added bonus, the cornucopia ham model will be present along with a photo booth, encouraging visitors to pose for their own ham portraits.
I will be there, with a ham! If you have an interest in art, the opening is going to be loaded with illustrious local artists. :)

I took your suggestion, BTW, and hit a couple of openings. Something tells me they're cooler in Portland.
I really wish I were near Portland.

Toronto is pretty cool. It's an actual city, at least.
Try living in a 40 mile long strip mall/industrial park.

Granted. As much as I mock Toronto, I love it. There's probably only one other place in the world I would live.

Exactly. It's the last place the Generalissimo would look for me, because I tend not to tan or burn, I ignite.

For me, there are 3 places I'd live, if I could get out of this hellhole.
1. Portland, because they actually have something resembling culture.
2. Toronto, same reason.
3. Providence, RI, because it's fucking amazing. And guidos.

Bumping Nigel's announcement past our derail.
Bump.
I have class tonight but will pop in on my break.
Also, the prints appear to be already sold out?
