We’re less than a day past October 31st and it would be reasonable to assume the people depicted in these portraits are wearing Halloween costumes, but they’re not. In his ongoing series of portraits titled Just the Two of Us, photographer Klaus Pitchler gained access to the homes of Austrian costume play (cosplay) enthusiasts where he photographed the elaborately costumed individuals against the backdrops of their everyday life. Via his artist statement: Who hasn’t had the desire just to be someone else for awhile? More

Bar Raval is a new and very interesting addition to the city of Toronto. It's a tapas-style bar envisioned by chef Grant van Gameren and designed by
when: july 2011 with: Bart I admit, an abandoned department store doesn't sound very interesting. And you're right, it isn't! I have been to places way more exciting than this one. But that changes once you're aware of the rich history that comes along with the Hertie company. Here's some of it: The company Hermann Tietz, founded by Oscar Tietz with the capital of his uncle Hermann Tietz , opened its first store on 1 March 1882 in Gera . It was called "yarn, buttons, trimmings, white and woolen goods shop Hermann Tietz" and already had some features of modern department stores, such as fixed prices, no deferral or cover letter and a diverse, cross-industry offerings. The abbreviation of the company name Hertie was during the Nazi era to the official designation, since the Jewish Tietz name should no longer be performed. He sat out the first letter of the previous company name together Her Man Tie tz. As part of the " Aryanization "of Jewish businesses in the so-called Third Reich in 1933 marked the Dresdner Bank Georg Karg as a managing director of the department store group. 1939/1940 bought on Georg Karg Hertie. Together with the largest conducted under the name Hertie department store ( Hertie in Munich , Station Square) Karg contributed to some of the biggest department stores in Germany. 1970, (as one of the first customer loyalty program at all) introduced the Gold Card customers who also served as a credit card. She was free and in the 1980s had 350 000 subscribers . The golden customer card became a generic term for many similar programs. As part of this was taken over by Karstadt in 1996 with the club for Karstadt Karstadt - merged Hertie customer card, and from 1998 to 2002 Karstadt MasterCard. From 2002, the remaining subscribers HappyDigits card was offered After the department store group had expanded into the 1970s, rapidly and many new branches, even in small and medium-sized cities had been opened, sales fell in the mid-1980s, a massive fall. So had the Hertie Group until about 1984 or 123 department stores and retail outlets. Only in the following years, were numerous, often only a few years earlier, opened department stores closed. The purchase of goods and Hertie GmbH was founded in 1994 by the " Karstadt AG acquired, "which in 1999 merged with the mail-order" Quelle Schickedanz AG & Co ", and was thus part of the" Arcandor AG. " Then, all Hertie stores either as "Karstadt" renamed, closed or sold. Only the Munich department store and a store in Berlin-Neukölln business ran until September 2007 as the Hertie. text: from Wikipedia
About The Artwork Coming home from a late night sculpture session a few years ago, I got out of the car to close the gate - and looked up. Holy shit. I had been working on what would become my "Go Ask Alice" sculpture, and landscape was the last thing on my mind. But here was this breathtaking sky spread out over me. It was March of 2012 and Venus and Jupiter were in conjunction, 3 degrees apart. Arching over them to the south were Taurus the bull and Orion - and then a car came over the hill up the road, its headlights completing the parabola. Bingo. This is the way my images ambush me. I got my sketchpad out of the car and made a scribble of the composition so it wouldn't get away. I made a painting, a watercolor and then this print a year later. I enlarged the planets to make the composition work and because that's the way I saw them. Venus is in her gibbous (pregnant) phase. I thought star-gazers like myself would appreciate this print more than others because of its astronomical accuracy, but more earthbound viewers also like it, so there are only a few left. The print is a 2-color linocut, image 10 x 7 inches, sheet 11 x 9.5 inches. I can send it matted with a white or off-white mat. The Criswell Linocut I began these experiments with linoleum back in 1999. Although these prints may resemble etchings, drypoints, lithographs or some strange hybrid, they are true relief prints, printed in two or more colors from linoleum blocks. I didn't invent this technique - Picasso and his printer Arnera did - but I've adapted it to my own purposes and, since nobody else in the world is doing it as far as I know, I'm calling it "The Criswell Linocut." The two most important things about this technique are that (1) I cut the designs with a drypoint needle and (2) that I print the dark color first and the light color second. This enables me to draw my image directly on the key block, just as I would draw with a pen on paper, rather than cut away everything BUT the image as in traditional relief printmaking.

Not long ago, a determined cabal of MSPA readers, quite unsolicited, leapt from the shadows and accosted me. Brazen was their skulduggery, waged in plain daylight. These rowdy toughs were not armed with whirling chains or brass knuckles or snug leather vests or sporty kerchiefs or fishnet ANYTHINGS, primarily I guess because they were not male strippers. They WERE however armed with the most daring accoutrement of all: generosity. They made a donation of $150 dollars American, a gift which came with a pretty firm stipulation. I was to use this money to hire a man to create my celestial soul portrait. In this way, I could have my soul properly beautified as well as immortalized. This would be accomplished by a guy named Erial Ali, who would surely have it on authority from the celestial deities themselves which way would be optimal to set my soul aflame with rainbows and random forehead lasers, and how many shitty space dolphins would be ideal to stick up in my grill. But there was a catch, and no, that catch amazingly wasn't simply the 150 bucks it apparently requires to drop a few reduced-opacity rainbow gradations, mediocre masking effects and augmented saturation adjustments on a photo that your unemployed neighbor took of you in the back yard. The real catch was that Erial seems to demand to speak with you on the phone before he Photochops your bad high school portrait with resources mined from a Google Image Search of the Hubble Deep Field. I guess maybe to get to know your soul? Either way, I knew this phone call was going to be intense. I actually got kind of psyched for it, for a while. I practiced a modified form of enthusiasm, the kind that was basically genuine enough to trick his soul-sweeping lasers that scour my aura for traces of irony. I was prepared to throw out a lot of buzz phrases in a really excited way, like I was really eager to see how he would "blitz my chakras". I was going to say "blitz my chakras" a lot. I'm serious about that. It was going to be my go-to line. Like, dude, just go apeshit on those chakras. I'm not paypalling you a Benjie and a half for a bunch of weaksauce chakras. I want a chakra you can hang your hat on, WHILE you fry an egg on it, and makes you HIGH just in the amount of time it takes you to go Google whatever the fuck a chakra IS. But then I chickened out and just did the damn soul portrait myself. In the end, it wasn't really about not wanting to have a weird conversation with some strange dude in a robe. Yeah that was a factor. But let's get real here. I can Photoshop that guy under the table. I mean literally, I can literally make it appear as if he is squatting under a table in Photoshop. By doing the soul portrait myself, I am simply delivering a superior product to my devoted followers. I don't know what sort of rubbish Erial would have made. The fact of the matter is it would have been a costly and tedious exercise in disappointment. You're welcome for me not putting you through that, everybody. The bonus is I get to keep the cash. Well, I just sort of decided this. I didn't really ask. But I have a longstanding tradition of misappropriating funds donated to me by people for some really specific, peculiar purpose. I refer to such funds as "Olive Garden Money". I'm going to use all of this money to fund a series of trips to the Olive Garden, and I will document each visit carefully and report my findings to you. I will even let readers decide on my menu selection via polling. I don't really like the Olive Garden that much, and my grave adherence to this franchise under these exceedingly precise circumstances doesn't make much sense. It's hard to explain. Maybe impossible. I have a chronicled history with the restaurant, or at least a history with TALKING about it, which is what makes this all so maddeningly stupid. But maddeningly stupidly WONDERFUL. And sometimes, just sometimes, truly wonderful things are just downright, ball-numbingly idiotic. While you were reading that paragraph, awful Italian music started playing in the background. But the bottom line is, this Olive Garden money was first soul money, so really my soul is financing this enterprise. My soul will be subsidising gargantuan mouthfuls of cheesy shell shaped noodles or some sort of tangy-sauced shellfish entre I wouldn't order in a billion years if left to my own devices, but I might have to if my hand is forced. I'll probably leave a signed copy of my soul portrait along with the tip. My soul is making this happen. When you think about it, where would be without my soul? All of us? The answer is we'd all be so far up shit creek people would start naming bad smells after us.
