For a closer view Mouse-click the individual posters. Sometimes there are mouseovers, so check...if you're into that sort of thing. If you're interested in movie or Theater times their posters are hyperlinked to their respective schedules.

If your event is not on here I apologize. I do not always see every flyer and sometimes the pictures fuzz up and are illegible.

How well do you know Olympia? Here's the game: Each Saturday I post a picture from somewhere around Olympia and people try to figure out its location. The first person who gets it correct is the first person who correctly got the location *yay!*.

enpen: Which technique/trick do you find yourself using the most in your art (e.g. horizon line, cross-hatch, etc.)?

Matthew: If I were to tell you the most useful trick in my arsenal, it would no longer by a trick. Therefore destroying the entire experience of visual art for the viewer...

As an artist, what about red is important to your work?

As a viewer, what about red is important to you?



Had you all the time and resources in the world, what story/history would you put into visual form and how would you do it?

The only one I know.

Grasping at straws is like submarines with a couple screen doors.

If 1+1=3 then I really don't know, I was never all that good at arithmetic.

It's the water and I know how to use it.

Matthew’s work is at Metro Body Piercing (214 4th Ave E) during Artswalk weekend (April 25th & 26th).

On Saturday May 10 @ 11am Olympia Standard Time Pangea Day commences. According to the website currently the closest location showing the films is Lacy. OFS would be a perfect spot for this...

With the upcoming Olympia Comics Festival I thought this may have more relevance on the hyperlocal front:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The last of Walt Disney's original team of animators, known as the Nine Old Men, has died at the age of 95, a Walt Disney Co spokesman said on Tuesday.

Ollie Johnston worked for Disney for 43 years, drawing characters for animated Mickey Mouse short films before contributing to such classics such as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Pinocchio," "Peter Pan" and "The Jungle Book."

Johnston died of natural causes in a long-term care facility in Sequim, Washington on Monday.

In keeping with the spirt of archetypes, my experience of Enuma Elish's accompaniment of Metropolis at the OFS Capitol Theater will be in the form of a blog poem...bloem? poog? Yeah, here's my poog (with a mere two mouseovers).
