Ms Skolnick being interviewed by local newscaster about the extension of Shillmans famous January Coat Sale due to the impending snow storms coming to Washington DC.
Ms Skolnick started the interview by saying, "Hello my Shillman customers" When asked about being a dowdy store and the state of sales , Ms Skolnick gave the interviewer kinda a sharp edge of her tounge and went on to say that sales were way up.

Today, we had the chance to ask some questions to Thomas Dambo, Artist & Designer from Denmark who specializes in making art pieces, sculptures, furniture and anything you can imagine out of trash, also known as recycled materials. Thomas also gives a lot of speeches about upcycling and arranges workshops for schools, companies, etc... teaching people how to build stuff from trash. If you think you deserve to be featured in the next interview, please, drop us an email.
Tell us a little more about you? Who you are? Where are you from?
My name is Thomas Dambo, I'm an artist and designer from Denmark working entirely with trash.
Why do you craft?
I want to show the world that there is so much good stuff in our trash, I do this by making big and beautifull projects of trash all around the world. And then, I just love to make my ideas come to life with my hands, it's just the best feeling.
How did you learn and how did you become an upcycled artist?
I can't walk by a container without looking into it, and I always bring some stuff back to my workshop, just to see what I can do with them. After doing this for many many years I guess I just got good at it. Now I have a big workshop filled with all different stuff I scavanged around my home town of copenhagen.
Since when are you working with junk materials and in upcycling in general? You are making a lot of installations with recycled pallets, why do you choose to work with wooden pallets?
Pallets are just so easy to get, they are all over the world and, in many places people will give them to you for free. At my last trip to Australia, a guy even offered to drive 100 miles and give me around 300 pallets just to get rid of them.
Your installations are big ones and look very complexes, how long does it take to create one?
My wooden sculptures takes me and my team of 5 guys between 4-10 days to create, but it really depends on what the basic idea is and then of cause how many beers we drink in the evening.
What are your can’t-live-without essentials?
That's my bicycle no doubt.
How would you describe your style? Are there any crafters/artists/designers that you particularly look up to?
I believe what I'm really good at, is to make it happen, I get an idea and jump right into it. I like to make big stuff, I like to do it in the streets, my art is for everybody, it's interactive, it's fun, it's easy to understand and of cause it's recycled.
How is your workspace, how do you make it inspiring?
It's bacically a big hardware store, but instead of new stuff on the shelves, I have old stuff, everything is needly organized and cateforized and I can pretty much make everything without having to buy anything.
What sorts of things are inspiring you right now? Where do you look for inspiration?
I let the things I find inspire what I make, recently a whole lot of small shopping cart wheels. Earlier, I found a lot of plywood. Then, I was thinking what can I make with this - and in this way I got the idea to make a rolling alphabet, so these days I'm building all the letters of the alphabet on separately and in 3-dimentional with wheels, in this way people will be able to push them around and write what ever they will like, it will be something like an interactive personal Hollywood sign.
When do you feel the most creative?
When there is a problem I have to solve, often a good idea comes to me when I'm under pressure. Then, I'm able to choose the best option faster, without thinking too much about it.
We live in such a mass-produced, buy-it-now society. Why should people continue to make things by hand?
If you cant create anything yourself, you will have to buy everything. If you don't create things you don't learn how things work, and you won't be able to repair your things, but will be forced to throw them away and buy new things all the time.
What is your favorite medium to work in (other than pallets)?
I really like to work with all wood, there is so much scrap wood, all over the world, and with some screws you can make the most amazing big and strong structures.
What are your tips for people who'd like to start crafting?
Look at what kind of trash you have access to, maybe your mom works in a factory where they throw out tons of small glass pieces, then go get some of those glass pieces and start a brain storm on what you can do with this glass. The world is sadly but truly filled to the top with trash - you should choose some trash just around the corner, not something you are having a hard time to find.
What is your guilty pleasure?
Instant chocklatemilk, ultimate fighting and new tools.
What is your favorite thing to do (other than crafting)?
Bicycling.
What do you recommend that most people do regarding cleaning pallets and prepping them to become something else?
My number one pallet rule is - only use trash pallets / throw away pallets, if you use pallets in a refund system like the Euro-pallet, its not recycling!! It is mass consumption and destruction of a perfectly good recycling system.
You are very productive regarding artistic installations, are you able to live from your art?
Yes I have been able to live from artistic work pretty much the last 12 years, besides from recycle art, I have made 10 hip-hop albums and played hundreds of concerts, I made several music video, worked as a grafic designer, made some recycle TV programs and even toured for some years with a human beatbox show.
Anything else you would like to tell to pallet community?
Yes, go check out my www.youtube.com/user/ThomasDambo channel, and if anybody have a tip how to get some more subscribers on it, please let me know, I really think I have some good videos, but nobody goes to see them.
Cheers pallet peoples, Thomas Dambo

If you were to ask God a question, what would that question be?
"What I get from my reflection
Isn't what I thought I'd see...
Close my eyes and hold my heart
Change this something normal
Into something beautiful"

L'interview indiscrète
Chez Marc (Morgan) Wathieu
Fruit d’une énième collaboration avec l’infatigable Benjamin Schoos et sa galaxie Freaksville, Marc Wathieu évoque avec nous le projet The Loved Drones, sorte de spin-off de Miam Monster Miam, son passé dans la variété et nous présente ses 3 objets fétiches joliment surréalistes à l’image de la musique qu’il propose désormais.
Après The Tangible Effect of Love né il y a 3 ans sur Freaksville, c’est cette fois sur le label Gonzaï Records que sort en vinyl Good Luck Universe, 2e effort studio des Loved Drones mixé par le londonien Man from Uranus et sur lequel collabore le joueur de cithare Simon Rigot. Un sacré cocktail volontairement protéiforme mêlant musique instrumentale, ondes psychédéliques et kraut rock accompagné de clips compilant d’étranges images. Un univers intergalactique qui contraste avec celui que Marc alors Morgan, a connu dans les années 90 qui l’a conduit, notamment via le tube Notre mystère, nos Retrouvailles vers des contrées plus pop et fm. Mes premiers projets (Les Tricheurs et La Variété avec Bernard Dobbeleer et Rudy Léonet - ndlr) étaient résolument rock et j’ai eu une période de 4 albums comme chanteur en solo, dans ce qu’on appelle en France de la variété. Mais cela n’a pas changé ma nature, du coup, ce que je propose aujourd’hui avec The Loved Drones peut paraître surprenant mais pour moi, participer à l’aventure Freaksville qui propose des projets d’une tonalité garage underground pop en français, me semble cohérent. C’est très DIY comme fonctionnement, toujours un peu bancal au niveau de l’organisation mais toujours humainement très enrichissant et il se passe toujours des choses un peu dingues comme quand à un de nos concerts dans un petit club à Londres, on voit Martin Gore (de Depeche Mode – ndlr) dans le public. Cela fait partie des joyeuses coïncidences qui résultent probablement de la bizarrerie du chemin qu’on a choisi.
VINYLE MÉGOTS
Autre bizarrerie observée, ce drôle de vinyl qui orne la table du salon. C’est une œuvre réalisée par ma compagne, la peintre Charlotte Beaudry qui, connaissant ma passion de digger de disques, en a réalisé un en céramique qu’elle a appelé Kick Out The Jams en l’honneur de l’hymne pré-punk de MC5 et qu’elle a surtout agrémenté de mégots de cigarettes. Je trouvais ça très transgressant comme choix artistique de synthétiser ce monde de freaks qu’est le rock avec 2 symboles presque fétichistes. J’ai une formation aux Beaux-Arts et je donne actuellement cours de graphisme dans une école d’art donc être entouré d’une artiste à la maison est forcément très inspirant.
UNE TASSE
J’aime ces drôles d’accident de la vie, à l’image de cette tasse. À première vue, ça n’a l’air que d’une tasse, mais je l’adore vraiment parce qu’un jour, bêtement en faisant la vaisselle, elle est tombée de ma main, a heurté le sol mais a rebondi et a atterri à nouveau dans ma main. Au-delà de la jonglerie improbable, j’étais persuadé qu’elle allait se casser et non, elle a fait naître un petit trou, presque artistique. C’est un objet qui incarne le côté complètement invraisemblable de certaines situations. Le coup de chance incongru, symbole d’un moment hors de notre espace-temps.
MA GUITARE
Pour terminer, Marc Wathieu nous parle d’un échange au départ surprenant, mais qui au final s’est avéré payant. Adolescent, sa première guitare était une Fender Stratocaster, mais il se rend compte rapidement qu’elle ne rend pas le son escompté. Un de ses amis liégeois lui propose un jour d’échanger celle-ci avec une gui- tare venant de Paris... J’ai d’abord été très surpris quand j’ai vu qu’elle était rose. Une Fender aussi mais une Telecaster Esquire spécialement fabri- quée (pour ne pas dire trafiquée) par le (désormais célèbre) luthier franco-américain James Trussart. Elle a surtout suivi toutes les étapes de ma carrière et mon fils Maxime l’a même aussi utilisée avec son groupe (The Mash avec lequel il a fait la 1re partie d’Indochine à Forest - ndlr). Ce qui est drôle, c’est que bien avant que je ne travaille avec lui, Jacques Duvall me l’avait dédicacée en me disant que j’étais l’avenir du rock n’ roll (rires).

„ Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen ! We are now live at the annual New Year Fundraising Gala, organized by the ICC.
We have some very interesting guests, who are willing to donate their money for verious projects, that need financial help.
The most impressive apperance yet is definately Mr. Ordo Skirata ! Mr. Skirata is known for his extrodinary collection of suits and his gallant behaviour and today he has given his best to make an impression. Mr. Skirata arrived in his new personal submarine right here on peer 21 ! And now we can see him coming down the ramp of his vehicle. Mr. Skirata , may I ask you some questions ?“
„Of course you can, my dear and call me Ordo, please.“
„Oh, well....Ordo...what an apperance, what a show ! Where in the world did you acquire a submarine ?“
„As you might know, I recently finished my new movie, which is about a team of deep sea scientists. The submarine was part of the props and I thought it would be nice to use it for promotional matters.“
„Ah, I see, well I think a lot of people are willing to watch that movie.“
„Oh, they always want to see my movies...“
„The role of a captain seems to fit you quite well.“
„Oh, no, I don’t think so. People always say that, but I’m not a good captain in any way.“
„Now, let me asky you the last question. To which project will you be donating money today. I mean, there were over 63 projects to choose from.“
„You won’t belive it, but I couldn’t narrow it down on any of them, so I decided to donate a bit of money to every project...“
„To every project !? That is quite generous ! – Ladies and Gentlemen, that was Mr. Ordo Skirata ! Thank you very much Ordo !“
„It was a pleasure !“
_______________________
Quite a difficulte MoC to start the year with. Originally it was planned to feature a bunch of lighting effects, but it ended up just having some LEDs in the building. The submarine was kind of a last minute idea, but it adds a funny element.
See more of Mr. Grievous and Ordo here.
Also have a look at the inside of the building here.
Hope you like it !

An interview by Steve Turner 1971
We came together to talk about Grapefruit, Yoko's book of poems, and ended up talking about Jesus. Somewhere in between, we mentioned the Beatles. John and Yoko are currently facing the plight of 'super-stardom'. Within two weeks they had become the third set of artists I had met who were complaining of being sold as people rather then for their art or for their music. James Taylor was the first, complaining of being used only as a headline or a photograph to sell more newspapers, and Pete Townsend was equally determined that "he won't get fooled again" into being a "superstar".
"Being misunderstood", John explained, "is being treated as if I'd won the pools and married an Hawaiian dancer. In any other country we're treated with respect as artists, which we are. If I hadn't bought a house in Ascot I'd leave because I'm sick of it. It's only because it's such a nice house that I'm staying. I'm a fantastic patriot for Britain. Ask Yoko - I never stop selling it! But she finds it hard to love England when they never stop shitting on her."
Yoko feels very much the same way and is waiting rather apprehensively for the response to the paperback edition of Grapefruit. She's been feeling misunderstood for the past fifteen years and has come to the conclusion that she must be the supreme optimist to ever carry on. "I just get this feeling that it's going to be the same thing again, but I have to go on knocking on the door."
John says: "An artist is not usually respected in his own village, so he has to go to the next town. It's a bit of that with us really. I think it's also like Dylan Thomas and Brendan Behan - they both died of drink. Artists always die of drugs, drink and all that. Like Jimi and Janis -it's just that they're so misunderstood and tortured that they kill themselves. I refuse to do that. I've found the way out. You are here, live for the day, minute by minute. That's the essential way."
"You are here", meaning that this is all we can know of life's purpose, is the pervading message behind the art of both John and Yoko, The message is short but conclusive. In his song God, John lists fifteen people and philosophies that he no longer believes in and claims that he has now arrived at a position where he only believes in, "Yoko and me/that's reality". When I asked him what he considered reality to be, he answered, "Reality is living, breathing, eating and dying". So, outside of the undeniable fact of our own existence they claim that there is no need for questions or answers. As far as any ultimate reason, purpose or meaning to this life is concerned, John states, "There isn't an end product to life or a reason for it, it just is, It's not a game, though," he assured me, "it's very serious."
"You are here", is the statement they offer, and "what you can do while you are here" seems to be the message behind Yoko's poetry. They all take the form of a simple instruction, often of a single line and are divided into sections titled Painting, Event, Dance, Film, Object etc. When life itself has no meaning, there is no reason why the activities we perform during that life should have any ultimate meaning either. This would seem to be the philosophy behind the poem Line Piece, which says "Draw a line/Erase a line" or Map Piece - "Draw a map to get lost". Probably the best poem in this line, once you have an understanding of the underlying philosophy, is the one line ‘Lighting Piece‘. Here it is important to see both the meaninglessness inherent and the allegory between the match and our lives. The poem says simply "Light a match and watch till it goes out" Without purpose we seem to have been brought down to the level of a matchstick, and our lives are as a flame which burns awhile and then extinguishes. The matchstick is then discarded.
Yoko of course, is no newcomer to the art world having been associated with such avant-garde artists and musicians as Andy Warhol and John Cage. Warhol has explained his own art as being, "to stop you thinking about things". Francis Bacon, another contemporary artist who shares the same philosophy, has said, "Man now realises that he is an accident, a completely futile being and that he can only attempt to beguile himself for a time. Art has become a game by which man distracts himself."
In these cases, art has lost its power of Man communicating ideas and emotions to Man. It merely becomes a game to amuse ourselves with while in death's absurd waiting rooms. I feel that it is absolutely necessary to understand the thoughts of John and Yoko before their art becomes understandable.
"People seem to be scared of being put on", says John, commenting on a recent review of Grapefruit."I don't understand people who say they don't understand it because even a seven year old can understand it,"says Yoko. I commented that it's not the how of the instructions that were misunderstood but the why? Yoko explained: "You see, we live and we die. In between that we eat and sleep and walk around - but that's not enough for us. We have to act out our madness in order to be sane."
I asked John whether he'd been influenced a lot by Yoko's ideas. "Yeah, it's great, It's amazing that we think so alike coming from different ends of the earth. She's come from a very upper class scene, going to school with the prince and all that shit, and I'm from wherever! It just shows that colour, class and creed don't come in the way of communication. You don't even have to speak the same language. We made a calendar with some Grapefruit quotes on and some from my books. The ideas behind it were quite similar. Yoko was a bit further out than me when we met - and I was pretty far out, you know - but she really opened my head up with all her work."
I wondered whether he found a great difference between the poetry that he puts into his songs and the poetry that Yoko writes. "The last album I made was very much the same as Yoko's poetry, There weren't many words to it. It was pretty simple and so is the one I've just made which is called Imagine. We work well together in music too, except when I'm doing completely straight rock. But things like Revolution Number 9 would make a good background for her voice." John reminded me that his meeting with Yoko hadn't been the factor that made him write his songs of personal statement. He was writing the same kind of song back in his days as a Beatle, but again he was famed for just 'being a Beatle' rather than for the content of his work. "Help was a personal statement, In My Life was a personal statement and so was I'm A Loser. I was always on that kick but they were just considered to be 'pop' songs at that time. That's why I gave it up. It was all Beatles."
Halfway through our interview, John went out of the room for a few minutes and returned with a magazine which had been sent into the Apple offices for him, the cover contained his picture and the inscription 'Dear John', indicating an open letter to him which was inside. "You ought to see this, This is a message to me from the Jesus people. This is the Jesus freaks in America." He then sat down again and began reading aloud:
"Dear John, I've been through a lot of trips with you. When I was down I put your records on and you'd bring me back to life. We've been up mountains together and I know you know where it's at. But the main reason I'm writing to you is to tell you of a friend I met last June. He said that he is the way, the truth and the life. I believed him and gave my life to him. I can see now how he can boast such a claim. Since then I've heard that you don't believe in him, but you can see in your eyes that you need him. Come on home Johnny, Love a friend."
"I think they've got a damn cheek, I think they're madmen. They need looking after." I reminded him that this same suggestion had often been levelled at himself and Yoko. "That's my opinion you know, You asked me what I thought and I think they're crackpots."
As our earlier conversation had been on the topic of prejudice and how to remove it from society, I asked John whether he wasn't himself guilty of prejudice here. "I don't think it's a prejudice I just think it's a lot of bullshit, I think it's the biggest joke on earth that everyone's talking about some imaginary thing in the sky that's going to save you and talking about life after death which nobody has ever proved or shown to be feasible. Why should we follow Jesus? I'll follow Yoko, I'll follow myself." John's opinion of the Jesus Freak cult, is that they are following in the same tradition that he and the rest of the Beatles followed when they enlisted with the Maharishi. "It's the same as I did when I went looking for gurus, It's because you're looking for the answer which everybody is supposedly looking for. You're looking for some kind of super-daddy. The reason for this is because we're never given enough love and touch as children."
On another subject John very much sympathised with the attitude that Spike Milligan had presented when he ended his TV documentary with the question of whether it was he that was insane or the man who drills holes in pieces of wood for fifty years. "That is complete insanity....Don't you see that the society creates insane people to do their insane work, so that they can wank each other off on fucking yachts. That's what it's all about. And everybody's screwing holes in and going to school and going to work so that fifty people in Britain can fuck about on yachts."
After these comments, and as a leg-pull, I suggested to John that he ought to have his very own political TV show. Taking it rather more seriously than I had intended, he stated With firmness, "I am a revolutionary artist, not a politician". At least it gave me an extra understanding of what John Lennon thought about John Lennon rather than what critic and journalist number 5739 thought about John Lennon. It is precisely this assertion that he is an artist, which is the difference between Beatle John and the post-dream John, ("The dream is over... Yesterday I was the walrus/but now I'm John").
Song writing is now just one of his arts as he dabbles further into the field of film, sculpture and happening. Yoko is certainly the person who harnessed and directed the Lennon potential but his talent has been evident for years. His anti-organised religion attitude was evident from his early books and as he himself said, the personal songs go back as early as I'm A Loser on the Beatles For Sale album. Previous to meeting Yoko he seemed to be a philosopher in search of a philosophy and an artist in search of something to say. Now with Yoko, he sings the songs explaining the philosophy which has made Yoko's poetry a possible and indeed valid art form.
John and Yoko are two very warming people to be with. They both speak as if draining knowledge from the same mind, feeding each other with ideas. John hasn't lost the humour which was enjoyed so much in the Beatle days and he pounces on any opportunity to make a crack. When you see a copy of Grapefruit, only laugh at it if you feel that what you are doing that day has more meaning to it than Yoko's instructions. When you get John's albums, use them as reference works to gain an understanding of his wife's poems. And then next time someone tells you that John and Yoko are a couple of crackpots who could do with two years in the army, tell them that they're a couple of misinterpreted but nevertheless brilliant artists who are honest to their beliefs, and tell them that it was I who said so.

Eu nunca fui a escola normal como as outras crianças, nem os meus irmãos só as minhas irmãs, e eu u não gostava muito dos meus tutores...
