Thunderbitch! By Ellen Forney.
The Thunderbitch exhibit that has been running at the Tether Design Gallery in Seattle all month is, about to end. Which means if you haven’t seen it, you only have two more days to make things right by GTFO to see it. The exhibit features graphic works and rock posters done by women artist based in the Pacific Northwest, dating back to the 1960’s. The way I look at it is like this; if you like girls who like to rock and love art, this one is a slam-dunk.

Alice Cooper and Salvador Dali, 1973. For LP.
Of the more than 100 works by Salvador Dali currently on display at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta is Dali’s 1973 holographic image of Alice Cooper. Here’s a link to the image Dali dubbed the “first Cylindric Chromo-Hologram Portrait of Alice Cooper’s Brain”. For the session, Cooper donned over 2 million dollars worth of diamonds (including a tiara) while clutching a statue of Venus De Milo. When it came to Cooper’s “brain”, Dali constructed a plaster mold and topped it with a chocolate éclair, covered in ants. Anyway, if that’s not metal, I don’t know what is.
