Archbishop Momus

[imomus]

Just a reminder that I give a free design talk tonight at the ICA Boston at 6.30pm, and there are mojitos in the Water Café afterwards (my "featured designer's drink of choice").



This is a painting of "Archbishop Momus in the vein of Jerry Cornelius" (2000-2007) by my friend and Williamsburg host, the artist Brian Szente. Brian is currently showing his paintings (influenced, he says, by Hundertwasser) at the French-run Simple Cafe on Bedford Avenue. And here's a video of a song called "Broken Swings" Brian co-directed with his girlfriend, the singer Ana Lola Roman:

It's sort of David Lynch meets The Centimeters, no?

Brian told me he's a big fan of obscure British kids' TV characters like Bagpuss, so I recommended he watch a documentary on YouTube called "Children's TV on Trial", an excellent survey of British children's TV in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. The first episodes are on this page, and later decades are covered here.

Hey! A cultural event I can afford!

Yes this "Children's TV on Trial" tv clip is glam legend central.

Wasn't Hundertwasser a big fave of John Lydon's at one point?

Hmm, photo's none too flattering - your face is starting to get that waxwork-ish, old-person look. Time to smear a bit of the old vaseline on the lens, Momus.

[(Anonymous)]

He doesn't look any older than he is.

But do get you hair cut, Momus. Thinning hair never looks good long.

Momus is in his fifties, isn't he? In which case, he's looking pretty good for his age.

I actually like that picture of him! And who's to say old equals ugly? HM? HMMM?

Oh for heaven's sake, lay off Nick's hair--we're lucky to have him around. The man's a unicorn.

I decided to do this project but for some odd reason I can't find ANY church porn! I even crossed the line and searched for Mormon porn! If you can find me some that would be great.

I want a dead one!

Sounds like a feminist's movement.
You definitely need to appear in Lola's next
as an Archbishop of Sceptrum Humanitus devinating
child spirits entombed by consciousness.

Szente show

As the proud owner of a Szente original, I recommend folks check out his show at Sample Cafe in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Would you be interested in coming to speak on a panel at a Design Salon at SFAI? The focus is Fashion...?

You look smashing as always, Nick! Great portrait too, i really see the hundertwasser in it! but that ana roman song so is really not so good, seems like she's doing a bad kate bush impression or something.

BAD IMPRESSIONS OF KATE BUSH

[blehbabebub.livejournal.com]

Gee, I was talking to ALR the other day and she was telling me about this Momus journal, she hasn't read it yet but I knew there would at least be one of these Sod's who would drop the standard issue Kate Bush comment....its okay, your average Laymen doesn't know any better. Since she sucks so bad I guess this is why she's appearing in this

Yeah, she pretty much sux and since Momus even gave mention of her she's had 100 obsessive go-getters on Myspace, bad impressions of Kate Bush or not.
too bad.

I drove up from providence with every intention of catching this design talk as sponsored by target department store multinational, only to arrive at the ICA at eight-thirty. :{

I looked at that painting and
