| Designed for Bloody Mary |

The blood table is more than just a gruesome experiment in animated gore - it is a gravity-defying work of artwork. Shifted to another color and the core design would be equally compelling. The blood theme simply adds a layer of intrigue to an already marvelous table design idea. |

| Obama signs Recovery and Reinvestment Act with reinstated support for the arts |

The Recovery and Reinvestment Act will help the arts, but more is still needed
NEW YORK. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the Smithsonian Institution have secured a small allotment of federal funding as part of the $787bn American Recovery and Reinvestment Act signed by President Obama on 17 February, following fears that arts groups would be completely excluded from the stimulus package. A committee comprising members of both houses of Congress reached an agreement on the final spending bill, which was notably smaller than the versions passed by either the House or the Senate, with a number of cuts made to education and health programs to secure the sliver of Republican support needed (three votes) to pass the bill. The NEA will receive $50m to distribute to non-profit arts organizations while the Smithsonian gets $25m to repair its facilities. |

This revelation came in Monday's New York Post, which said that a new memoir from Allegra Huston, Angelica's sister, included a passage on Nicholson's acquisition habits. "He collected paintings to the point of obsession," she wrote.
A little snooping around turned up more details. Nicholson apparently owns an eight-room home, modest by Hollywood standards, on Mulholland Dr. that is stuffed with just part of his collection -- not just on the walls, but stacked in unoccupied rooms. The rest is in storage. Among his paintings are works by Picasso, Magritte, Bonnard, Matisse, Bacon and Dufy. |

| Graffiti Artists Hold Panel With Old Nemeses in Blue |
|
 | Date: 2009-03-24
by RANDY KENNEDY
Back in the day, Cope2, a Bronx graffiti legend as big as a linebacker, usually found himself in proximity to police officers only when they were tracking him in the metallic darkness of a subway yard or when they finally caught up to him and hauled him in.
But on Thursday night he sat willingly within reach of three officers — or at least three retired ones — on a comfortable couch at the powerHouse Arena, an art gallery and bookstore in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn. The officers, one of whom had arrested Cope2 several years earlier when he was leaving his house to walk his pit bulls, sat on another couch across from him and two fellow graffiti artists. |

The artist Heide Hatry created these weird little creations with animal skin and body parts. So the eyes are real, but they're real pigs eyes. The lips are raw flesh and the skin is from a pig.
