Drawing With The Eyes

At the Riflemaker Gallery in London, Graham Fink sits behind a computer staring intently at a blank computer screen. Out of nowhere, lines start to emerge, slowly taking on the characteristics of disturbing and broken portraits of faces. This is Drawing with my Eyes, Fink’s new exhibition, where visitors can witness the artist using neither his hand nor any other instrument but his eyes to create his striking line contour images.

Bag of Randomness

  • After DaughterGeeding got home from school, she lugged one of my empty five-gallon paint buckets up stairs and asked if she could use it for a zipline.  I had no idea she even knew what one was, but I told her before she uses it to come get me first.  That little girl tied her jump rope around one end of the outdoor playset to the another, and then taped several coat hangers to the paint bucket handle and hung it on the rope.  Of course it wouldn’t hold her weight, but I was impressed, and I liked her idea of wanting to try something lighter like her brother or OtherDogGeeding.
  • There’s a new tea store in the area and when one of WifeGeeding’s friends visited it, she and the owner had one of those moments where they instantly knew each other but couldn’t quite place how.  It turns out the owner was her third-grade teacher.
  • At a Rangers game last year I had their Bacon on a Stick.  It wasn’t the run of the mill bacon that you’d warm up in the microwave, but it was thick, crispy, and had some sweetness to it.  I only mention that because the Rangers have released new menu of food items for the upcoming season and it’s bacon intensive – candied bacon coated with a layer of cinnamon and chili powder, bacon lollipop, bacon sunflower seeds (coated with “zero fat, no calorie bacon salt”), bacon cotton candy, and the one thing I really want to try . . . chicken-fried bacon.  Thankfully it comes with a side of gravy, and that reminds of of the time I saw something in college put brown gravy on a chicken-fried steak.  **shudder**
  • Per this article, Leonard Nimoy use to drive a taxi and once had JFK as a passenger.  That event happened after JKF’s death.  Okay, you got me, I made that last part up.
  • A fantastic panorama of the Dallas skyline in the snow by local photographer Drew Cotten.
  • I’m certainly not a fan of Glenn Beck, who has a new commercial on The TICKET, but he certainly has a very good radio voice.
  • This GIF is almost a year old, but I love how the cop turns on turbo boost to catch the suspect.
  • Until watching the last episode of ‘Survivor’, I’ve never heard the term “plantar wart”.
  • We all need to live a little – NYPD Sergeant Who Never Took Sick Day in 42-Year Career Dies Weeks Shy of Retirement
  • Today’s dose of ‘MURICA! deals with a piece of paper director at a certain man’s ancestor.
  • Thankfully I don’t live in California
  • This took longer than expected – Streaming music sales in the US beat CDs for the first time
  • Seattle man gets invited to stranger’s East Coast bachelor party by mistake, but he’s still going
  • CNN Made A ‘Too Many Cooks’ 2016 Election Promo? – YouTube
  • ‘Good Morning America’ will have a special about Apple’s secret fitness lab this morning, but it looks like a disguised advertisement to help boost sales of Apple’s new watch.
