Bear Cache
Roger and Gloria have erected some more Alaskan eye candy at their place of business. I think it’s really nice work. They are sure to get noticed now.
One of the pictures is of the artist at work. If you’re wondering why Roger is wearing glasses, you’re not alone.

Warhol Documentary
We just finished watching a PBS documentary on Andy Warhol. The 4 hour documentary directed by Ric Burns covers Andy’s humble beginning during the Depression in Pittsburgh to the end of his life in 1987. There’s something deeply appealing to Warhol’s expressions of the elemental forces that shape our society. Things like fame and the everyday objects we come in contact with and think nothing about. Andy had a gift for showing these things in a new light and in a larger than life perspective. He also had an unworldly sense of space and time. They said he could’ve been thought of as the anti-artist. Before Andy, art was an elitist endeavor. He was someone who merely reflected the culture around him, not someone who actually did original art. Strangely enough, what he created became art. Mass production was the hallmark of the 20th century which created the “culture of products”. What Marilyn Monroe did for movies, Campbell’s cans did for soups in some sense. Andy put them both to silk screen. To learn more, go to Andy Warhol documentry at PBS.org
I did my own Warhol inspired colored soft screen. Andy would be proud. We have our own legends in the family.
