If you get a chance to swing by the SF Museum of Modern Art, check out Richard Avedon’s portrait exhibit. It’s so inspiring to see the personalities of his subjects come to life in black & white.

Disney purchases Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. From a marketing perspective, this is a very interesting buy, as this will enable Disney to gain a wider (male) audience. Disney has a strong appeal to young girls (princesses and magic castles) through its depth of global licensing and technology. With the acquisition of Marvel, they could market to a older demo–Marvel has a “coolness” that Disney does not. “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Nightmare Before Christmas” were successful for Disney in reaching different audiences, but Marvel will be key to retaining the young audience through adulthood via the numerous well-loved superhero characters and depth of story-telling. For Marvel, the licensing and distribution of characters and products will be easier through different venues. I’m sure we’ll soon see the X-men or Spiderman as a theme park ride.

Carnival Twins is a mixed media piece inspired by the HBO Show “Carnivale”, the 1932 film “Freaks”, and my fascination with vintage Victorian fashion.

Found this Installation Art at the Galleria in San Francisco. It’s an inspiring display of various quotations on what success is. One of my favorites is Michelangelo’s: “I hope that I may always desire more than I can accomplish.”

The Chosen One is a mixed media piece (graphite and digital) based on the multiple myths and stories of “the one” who’s born to save or cause destruction to the world. I’ve always thought of pregnancy/creation of life as a mysterious, almost supernatural affair.
