I met these guys once, over a decade ago. The nicest, least pretentious, most down-to-earth mega-successful gallery artists I've ever met. They build all this stuff out of plastic bits from the hobby shop, melting and destroying it as they go along.
Basically they've been doing it since they were eight or nine years old.

I'd like to thank our generous host once again for giving me access to the keys to the place this past week. Having barely begun to even touch the surface of what is out there (or rather: in here), I shall return from time to time to proffer items and images from the Old Weird America and et alia.
Let us remember the eternal watchwords for our times:
"Once again, we have graphically illustrated the fact that we know very little about some aspects of human behavior."

It was late morning in early May, with the sun shining and the foothills fading in and out along the horizon. I parked the car.
The place was one of those big old houses with a coach house in the back surrounded by eucalyptus trees and white acacias. All I knew about my caller was that he needed to find out something about a redheaded woman, and did something in the Valley with aerojets. The woman's name was Thelema, as near as I could make out. Okie version of Thel

Guy's Guide To The Flipside, that's the old weird Vancouver.
Virtually all of that is gone, now, in the Regooding.
I know this, increasingly, as an old weird Vancouverite.

On the left: Women of New York, 1869, a study of the naughty women of Manhattan between Fulton and 59th Streets, as well as the criminal behavior of their associates, between the years of 1868 and 1869.
On the right: Guy's Guide to the Flipside, 1993, a full accounting of all naughty places and doings in Vancouver, B.C., greater British Columbia, no doubt a large part of Alberta, and possibly bits of Saschatchewan.
Resolved: that the Boston Tea Party brought results.
