Oct. 12th, 2006 12:00 amWell, Hisae and I dutifully took in the Pictoplasma Character Walk (it's not the characters who walk, but the punters, forced this year to pound miles of Berlin sidewalk to find all the participating galleries), but the work on display was underwhelming. Even David Shrigley's film (about a nutter who lives in a swamp) seemed a bit mainstream, stale and forced. The one exception, though, was Mehdi Hercberg's Shobo Shobo drawing show. Brilliant stuff, with tons to look at:

stealing art to promote it
Date: 2006-10-13 02:33 am (UTC)I was browsing http://www.shoboshobo.com/ hoping to find more sketches of scary, spurting nostril activity, and came upon a completely unexpected image:
http://grogore.free.fr/drawings/23robozoz.jpg
Which I've now stolen and avatarized. Which is probably not something Mehdi Hercberg wants me to do. But I don't care, this image deserves to be seen.
