Ravels in Review: It's Summer!

I'm thrilled to be writing this when it's actually hot and sunny outside. Summer had to come eventually, I suppose, and it's basically August. So let's see:

• The BBC updated Byron's image with a music video, to odd effect, but I appreciate the effort.

• Then I read the collected poems of E.E. Cummings in one sitting, but figured I'd spare you and hunt up the one I really liked.

• I saw In & Out of Amsterdam at MoMA. More intellectually apppealing than visually, and I might just be more visual.

• I found out a bit about rust used in art, specifically rust paints. (Thanks all!)

• For something absolutely delightful and cheering on your Friday, check out this artist dress code.

• Artists do not own Mickey Mouse, and more illegal art due to copyright.

Also, I'm trying out the twitter thing. If you're on there, come find me at linnea_west. Have a great weekend!

Byron Updated

The BBC tries to make Lord Byron cool in this new video, as if he needed any help. The King Blues update 'mad, bad, and dangerous to know' Byron with a punk rock twist.

Change for the better? Eh...
