get your ass to Cardburg!

cardboard institute cardburg
the cardboard institute of technology presents welcome to cardburg. welcome indeed! cardburg is an amazing art installation going on at cellspace in san francisco. an entire city - built all in cardboard - with magic, myth, and lore all its own. amazing! and you should see it! opening night was April 3rd, 2008. There’s another opening/show tonight, April 10th at 7pm, and a final show next week on friday April 18th at 8pm. you can read the hype on sfgate or read the great post on extreme craft (& flickr set too!) but go! good art can be hard to find (but actually, in SF, not lately. lotsa goodness out there!). is SF ready for a ducksquatch? yes!

bigfoot embroidery

megan whitmarsh's bigfoot embroidery art giantmonster loves all things sasquatch, yeti, skunk-ape, yowie, and bigfoot! so the elders were very pleased after getting a heads up from rhode on the very rad embroidery art of megan whitmarsh. very lovely stuff. i found out all of these great embroidered bigfoot pieces are sold. that is sad for you and me, but happy for megan whitmarsh. worth checking out.
