Here are my favorites from the first 30 pages of results for the search modern art painting on Etsy ("your place to buy and sell all things handmade").

In no particular order. Click the image to see larger; click the text link to see its etsy page.

Cyndi pointed out this photographer who does some pretty weird stuff. His name is Joshua Dalsimer and in addition to being a good photographer, he also was the original drummer for the excellent, though now defunct Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Check out all his photos, but the one that I'm posting about is his "Day in the Life of 123 Party" (I can't link to it directly since the page is built in flash (grrr)--to get there click on "Projects"). It's pretty funny. To learn more about 123 Party, check out their awesome myspace page.

The excellent TV show Veronica Mars has been cancelled, again this is as I predicted. I hate the TV. Actually, the problem is that I love the TV, but it hates me.

I recently finished The Dead Beat: Lost Souls, Lucky Stiffs, and the Perverse Pleasures of Obituaries by Marilyn Johnson.

As the title says, it's a book all about obituaries and the people who write and read them (and the people who are obsessed with obituaries -- the author falls into this category).

As I mentioned in my last post, Cyndi and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this past weekend with a trip to New York City.

Short version of the story: The trip was great; we love NYC; Too Much Joy is the best band ever; our hotel could've been a little quieter.

Long version:

We really love NYC. If we didn't have kids, we'd probably move there. We drove up on Thursday. Traffic was pretty good and we made good time. Thursday night we just walked around Time Square and got some great pizza. We debated going up The Empire State Building, but decided against it.
