This is really something I expected to see at AFC, however I picked it up from the Art Blogging LA site. Its a flickr page – however great concepts are still great concepts. It’s a Friday – Enjoy.

A big thank you to Kelly Rand of DCist who reviewed my show for the DCist web site. Follow this link for the story.
Also I had a brief mention on the Washington Post Web site by the “Going Out Gurus” in the Got Plans? section of the website. I guess this is a transcript of a conversation held on Thursday, Jan 17, 2008. I’m mentioned in a question about 1/3 of the way down. Follow this link.

I mean it’s not going to change your view of the world or anything, but I really enjoy the focus of the collection. A set of more than 400 items, inherited from Washington collector and hardware-store pioneer John Hechinger.

Looking at my art you might be surprised to find that I have an above average interest in the game of chess (I joke, but I do…) Bobby Fischer was without a doubt the greatest – and saddest person to ever play the game at its highest level. I’m sure the newspapers have the full story, so I’m going to pass on re-telling the whole thing.
Overall the life story of Bobby Fischer is a sad story that curiously is being played out in a similar parallel in the life of Britney Spears. Before you snicker and think that BF was some kind of fool – he was just the opposite a superior complex thinker who literally was driven over the edge by his own mind.
When you look at Fischer, you see a man whose world outside of chess never became the extension of what he saw in a complex – but highly structured game. In the end, the messiness and randomness of the world will only remember him as someone who fell from the highest highs – to become a powerless eccentric.
Bobby Fischer, April 28, 1962. (John Lent, Associated Press / April 28, 1962)
