Colette Calascione (born in 1971) is an American artist. She received a B.F.A. from the San Francisco Art Institute, California. Her work has been shown at St. Mary’s College, Moraga, California and the San Francisco Art Institute, as well as in many galleries, most notably in the San Francisco area.
Sometimes her work reeks just a bit too much of the lowbrow art movement, but though steeped in art history, yet feels fresh.

Ευγένιος Σπαθάρης: "Θα έπρεπε να φτιάξουν άγαλμα στον Καραγκιόζη"
O Ευγένιος Σπαθάρης, μιλά για την τέχνη του και τη ζωή του.''Γεννήθηκα τον Γενάρη του 1924 στην Κηφισιά. Ο παππούς μου ήταν Μικρασιάτης. Πέρασε στη Σαντορίνη όπου παντρεύτηκε μια κοπέλα απ’ την Οία. Μετά από ένα χρόνο ήρθαν στην Αθήνα, όπου γεννήθηκε ο πατέρας μου. Μεγάλωσα στην Κηφισιά. Τότε ήταν δάσος και χωράφια. Μόνο το τρένο ανέβαινε εκεί επάνω.
Υπήρχε η γειτονιά στα κάτω Αλώνια όπου μέναμε, κοντά στο σημερινό Ζηρίνειο.
Από το 1952 και μετά ήρθα στο Μαρούσι, γιατί εκεί απάνω δεν υπήρχε τίποτα.
Ξεκίνησα να ασχολούμαι με τον Καραγκιόζη από μικρός βλέποντας τον πατέρα μου. Έπαιζα καραγκιόζη αλλά στο σπίτι. Ερχόταν όλη η γειτονιά να δει την παράσταση, αλλά δεν με άφηνε ο πατέρας μου να παίξω επαγγελματικά.

Bob Dylan on Barack Obama: ‘‘He’s like a fictional character, but he’s real‘‘
From Bob`s interview to Bill Flanagan, for the TIMES (found on TIMES online apparently).(...)
BD:
He’s got an interesting background. He’s like a fictional character, but he’s real. First off, his mother was a Kansas girl. Never lived in Kansas though, but with deep roots. You know, like Kansas bloody Kansas. John Brown the insurrectionist. Jesse James and Quantrill. Bushwhackers, Guerillas. Wizard of Oz Kansas. I think Barack has Jefferson Davis back there in his ancestry someplace. And then his father. An African intellectual. Bantu, Masai, Griot type heritage - cattle raiders, lion killers. I mean it’s just so incongruous that these two people would meet and fall in love. You kind of get past that though. And then you’re into his story. Like an odyssey except in reverse.

New Brainland (map)
The above map's original data was created from a reference photo of a real human brain which was used to build the 3d terrain. This digital elevation model was then used to create contour line data, relief shading and to plan where the roads and features should be placed for map compilation. Real New Zealand public domain data was then added for the surrounding islands.Practical Aesthetics from UniteSeven
