I saw this funny sketch by Alec Baldwin the other night. It was

part of the tribute to Tina Fey on PBS.

Here is a link to Tina's acceptance speech for the Mark Twain award.

More Studio Pictures (Crehore)

Working on two paintings simultaneously for a couple of group shows in NYC in early 2011. In the top photo, you can sort of see the process: transferred drawing and raw sienna undercoat. Going in a new direction with these two.

Plastic Fork Carpet

Pasta Carpet

Designers Stijn van der Vleuten & Marcia Nolte & visual artist Bob Waardenburg make these temporary carpets without a sketch or plan. They take materials like pasta, plastic forks and bricks (all shown above) and just build them on the spot, layering the materials until a carpet appears.

I have to say, they are quite beautiful! Scroll through their blog to see more.
