Exhibition Date: December 5th - January 10
ALEX BREWER: Soft Light Sandler Hudson Gallery is pleased to announce Atlanta artist, Alex Brewer in an exhibition entitled Soft Light. Brewer is an emerging southern talent. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA he has spent over a decade as a very established and prolific graffiti artist. Brewer’s show will feature between 20-30 new works on paper, wood and canvas. Large mixed media paintings on wood as well as small mono-prints on paper. Brewer has gained a strong reputation for his large-scale street work locally in Atlanta, and through out the U.S and abroad. He has painted and exhibited in many major national and international cities. In the past few years Brewer has begun pushing his paintings in a new more sophisticated direction. His works have ended up among private collections as well as many public collections. Brewer creates paintings that are abstract and graceful, with lines that are representative of early abstract expressionist pioneers. His new work consists of layers and layers of marks applied on a surface with spray paint, marker, graphite and "anything interesting", to create a final product.
If in Miami this coming week, be on the look out for us as well as a good number of our folk getting deliberate at the annual General Motors /Taxpayer/ Shitbag elitist art community sponsored "love in" that is Art Basil.
In desperate economic times it's good to know that the likes of McDonald's, KFC, Subway, Pizza Hut, Burger King and more of this country's most opportunistic franchises are looking for cheap help...
Dear Red States: If you had managed to steal this election too, we were going to leave. We would have formed our own country, and taken the other Blue States with us. In case you aren't aware, that now includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, Florida (but who really cares), and all the Northeast Blueblock. We believe this split would have been beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of the new country of New California. To sum up after the fact: Best of all, you get Oklahoma. You also get all the slave states. We get stem-cell research, live theater, excellent skiing, and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom. We get Harvard and Swarthmore. You get Ole' Miss and the Aggies. We get 85% of America's venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama and tobacco farms. We get the Central Valley, the Napa Valley, and almost all seafood. We get two-thirds of the tax revenue. You get to make the Red States pay their fair share. Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22% lower than the Christian Coalition's, we get a bunch of happy families. You get a bunch of single moms. Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we're going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once. If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they're apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don't care if you don't show pictures of their children's caskets coming home. We do wish you success in Iraq and hope that the WMDs turn up, but we're not willing to spend our resources in Bush's Quagmire. We will also pay higher taxes. Actually, we love to pay taxes, as it lets us buy civilization (see American Heritage Dictionary). The burden won't be too great, however, as we'll also have 98% of out-of-the-closet gays, and most of them are talented and rich. With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80% of the country's fresh water, more than 90% of the pineapple and lettuce, 92% of the nation's fresh fruit, 95% of America's quality wines (you get both Kentucky pinot and fried), 90% of all cheese, 90% of the high-tech industry, 95% of the corn and soybeans (thanks Illinois and Iowa!), most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus Stanford, Duke, MIT, Chicago, Cal Tech, and Cal Berkeley. With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88% of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs, though we'll still keep Wisconsin), 92% of U.S. mosquitoes, most tornadoes, 90% of hurricanes, 99% of all Southern Baptists and Mormons, virtually 100% of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Jones University, Clemson, and the University of Arkansas. We get Hollywood and Yosemite. Thank you. Regrettably, you get Yellowstone. In exchange for tourist visas, we'll let you import food. Additionally, 38% of those in the Red states believe Jonah was actually swallowed by a whale, 62% believe life is sacred unless we're discussing the war, the death penalty, or gun laws, 44% say that evolution is only a theory, 53% that Saddam was involved in 9/11, and 61% of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties. We shall continue to cherish the First Amendment. You can keep the Second. By the way, in case you hadn't noticed, we get Obama and Biden You get Bush and Cheney. Finally, we're taking the kush, too. You can have that dirt weed they grow in Mexico if you can get over the wall.
This opportunistic shitbag's (Lee Greenwood) main claim to fame is writing and singing the cringe worthy patriotic hymn "God Bless the U.S.A.", a mawkish attempt at appealing to shallow patriotism.
Soon though, this deuschtard's blessing will matter on the American arts scene -- at least the part interested in tapping into federal largess via grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Appointed by President Bush and confirmed by the Senate, Greenwood is scheduled to be sworn in Nov. 17 as one of the 14 regular members of the National Council on the Arts. Council members advise the NEA chairman, and their portfolio includes reviewing and making recommendations on applications for grants from the $145-million-a-year federal agency.
Heard from a reliable source that he's itchin' to get new episodes of Mama's Family back on TV for his first order of business.
Also, just to clear the air, this site isn't unpatriotic by any means, we just think that being American should be a source of reflection and humility, not boastful posturing, and arrogant pride.

Words can't even begin to describe what the loss of Rudy Ray Moore means to us here in the Loss Prevention community. Best known as the silver tongued pimp in the Dolemite series Moore passed away today at the age of 81. Our world has truly lost another hero (...and yet Steve Harvey lives???). Shed a tear, 'cause there will never be another. RIP
Never claimed to be clairvoyant, but we're gonna take a stab in the dark and predict that there's a green light brightly lit at all State of Nevada Correctional Facilities. 2 to 1 OJ makes it less than Dahmer.
