生計の道として絵筆を持ったとはいえ、DNAに刻まれた「金持ち根性」と呉服商の血は薄れない。見よ、『燕子花図屏風』を。水流も橋もなんにもない、金箔だけを貼った単純極まりない背景に、緑青と群青の単純な色調に、同じ形の花群が反復するさまは、まるで着物に見られる「型置き」の技法のよう。「それって美術じゃなくデザインじゃないの？」などというモダニズムに毒された反駁はどこ吹く風で、光琳はそのリズムの心地よさを心から信じているし、背景を埋め尽くす黄金の豪奢を、誇っても怯えてもいない。「だって、オレ、ゴールド好きだし」。それでいいのだ。ややこしい「意味」とか「自分」なんてものは、『燕子花図屏風』にはない。とかく現代人が探したがる「自分」、つまり「光琳自身」のエゴは、存在しない。ただあっけらかんと美しい燕子花があるだけだ。そのあまりの「自分」のなさ加減を物足りなく思う、マッチョな近代ロマン派系個人主義の方々は「琳派なんて」とくさすけれど、オレがオレがと苦悩してばかりの美術なんて、見ていて楽しくもなんともない。というか、苦悩しなけれりゃ芸術じゃない、という狭い了見だから、ブンガクでもアートでも行き詰まるのだ。そういう人は琳派でも見て、アタマを冷やしてください。

Christopher of Colossal recently stumbled onto this awesome, expertly crafted series of birds found in Britain made by DeTomaso Pantera using LEGO bricks. His use of color and perfect selection of bricks really bring these animals to life. You can see the entire series six birds here, and apparently there are many more to come.

Turning Children’s Drawings to Toys by Child’s Own Studio
Remember all that crazy shit you drew as a kid? True story: when I was but a wee lad I was fond of drawing bones with wings on them. There was a whole family of them. Why? Who the hell knows, kids are weird! But how awesome would have been if a cool company like this existed: where they take children’s drawings and convert them to real world toys. Maybe one day my Flying Bones with faces can get the same treatment. Check out tons more at their flickr

Got some spare time? Make a comic!
Download the sample printable comic right here!
Reasons for doing this?
1: My followers can finally have a printed comic by me.
2: It seemed like a fun activity to do, specially with young kids.
3: It might be cool if interweb folks shared tiny little mini comics with each other. And a whole bunch of people can print each other’s comics and maybe we could collect ones by other artists. So… ya know. Why not?
EDIT: AHH! Before I forget, I should mention that this mini comic format was created by the folks at http://www.pocketmod.com/ I came by their technique while listening to Fear the Boot, a roleplaying game podcast as they were interviewing Stuart Robertson an indie table top rpg designer.
If you’d like, support those folks cause they helped me discover this neat design.
EDIT2: Added tags. Dag nabbit.
