While we're on the subject of Kevin Parry I'll give him another plug...hope all the traffic I'm driving to his site doesn't crash the servers!

The Arctic Circle
This is a great stop-motion animation by Kevin Parry. Know how I know it's great? Because Tim Burton said so. And he's right! (What a relief it must be for Mr. Burton to have the validation of a web luminary such as myself...)

Palmer! Merritt! Gaiman! Moby!
We opened the Degas and the Nude exhibition at the museum a few weeks ago, the last hurrah of departing Art of Europe Chair George Shackelford who will be joining the Kimball Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas as Senior Deputy Director.
Just before the opening Shackelford was conducting a private tour for Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls and her husband, author Neil Gaiman. (Caution, more name dropping to follow...)
So moved by the exhibition was Palmer that she undressed on the spot and posed in repose while Gaiman took the opportunity to sketch her. It was a non-event event but caused snickers in the local paper for a few days after.
Anyhew...here's Palmer and Gaiman on Halloween, along with Moby and Stephin Merritt (the Magnetic Fields guy, sounding typically baritonishly great) performing "Science Fiction/Double Feature" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Marketing Genius
Loyal readers (!) probably recall this post about a marketing campaign suggesting that 7-Up isn't only refreshing for adults but for infants as well.
Here's another beauty brought to you by the fine folks as Schick Razor Company that makes it clear that if Schick is good enough enough to shave the mangled and burned faces of the victims of the Hindenburg disaster then, by gosh, it should be good enough for you too!

Agent Starling
A group of crows is called a "murder." A group of starlings is called a "murmuration." Give this video 25 seconds and then hold on...
