Scott Goodwillie’s Reluctant Gods
What is it about certain mythologies that lend themselves so well to visual interpretation? The museums are full of paintings that retell, and perhaps shed new light, on stories that we all know well.
New York-based artist Scott Goodwillie creates images both mythical and personal in Reluctant Gods, on exhibit through March 28 in Seattle’s [...]

Junot Diaz: The New Fiction Hero
1 response - Posted 02.27.09
Junot Diaz is a funny guy. I imagine him being the Creative Writing professor at MIT that all the girls have a crush on and that all the boys admire because he isn’t afraid to curse in the classroom. However, in the midst of his jokes Diaz is also incredibly humble about his newfound [...]continue

Joel McHale at the Moore
1 response - Posted 12.08.08
Seattle native Joel McHale returned home Nov. 29th to perform at the Moore Theatre during his national stand up tour. Fans crowded into the theatre in one of the few cities in the nation where people may actually know McHale for work other than his weekly gig hosting The Soup on E! Entertainment Television. After [...]continue

Annie Leibovitz an American Icon
2 responses - Posted 12.05.08
Judging by the crowd outside of Benaroya Hall waiting to see Annie Leibovitz speak on November 19th, it was obvious that Seattle Arts and Lectures was hosting someone big. People stood outside with handmade signs asking for tickets—the scene was more akin to a sporting event or rock concert than what was, essentially, a book [...]continue

John Updike: An Artist Who Loves Art
1 response - Posted 11.25.08
Let’s be honest, John Updike is intimidating. He is an author who can only be described as prolific; one who drew an impressive crowd at Benaroya Hall in what is often described as one of the most literate cities in America. Since his early success in the 1950s, he has continued to add to his [...]continue

Richard Russo:Seriously Funny
no responses - Posted 10.08.08
On Wednesday September 17th Seattle Arts and Lectures kicked off its 2008-2009 season with a lecture on humor by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo. Humor- it seemed an odd topic to me mainly because most of the aspects I remembered about Russo’s novel Empire Falls were dark in nature. The book explored characters [...]continue

Quality gets Kinky
no responses - Posted 10.06.08
In the age of Ikea, Walmart, and Super everything, quality has been relegated to the era of walking uphill both ways in the snow just to get to school. Most of the furniture that populates the living rooms of the western world has a shorter lifespan than our grandparents clothing. Things are meant to be [...]continue

Artistic Baggage
no responses - Posted 06.23.08
Don’t judge a purse by its cover. No, that’s not a typo; we are talking about purses here…and book covers. It should be no surprise that the most well-read city in the nation is home to a designer who managed to turn books into handbags. Mary Lydia Ryan a Seattleite for the past 19 years [...]continue
