Meltdown

From Scott Patt's bio: "While the history of the toy figurine goes back to the time of the pharaohs it wasn’t until the 1950’s when plastic figurines became the staple of every child’s toy box throughout the world. For generations the toy figurine has been a mirror to the events of global popular culture allowing millions of fans, young and old, to re-write history or simply have the united front of cowboys and Indians invade the sofa fortress of a nazi moon base on zeblon 5."

Melt them down a bit, layer them on top of one another, add some resin, and you have art - Scott Patt style:

Dirty Dirty

Just saying those two words makes me think of the late 90's. And Outkast in particular. In this case, though, they reference the dirty South portrayed in Daniel D. Fells' photographs. The broken down buildings, the abandoned businesses, the ramshackle homes, the railroads of yesteryear. I'm a complete and total sucker for this stuff. Austin doesn't have it. And even small-town Texas is somewhat lacking for it. Texas is the Southwest more than the South. Fell captures the South as I remember it - or at least as I choose to remember it. And his website is called Grits N Collards. Click on these photos to blow up. They're better bigger.
