This is a tiny notebook given to me as a gift from my hubby at Christmas. On the front is a little figure of Andy Warhol - like a cut out doll. I am a big fan of Pop Art and also David Bowie - two greats of this world who are no longer with us. Inspired by the song "Andy Warhol" for the theme of Macro Monday 9 Jan.

in the style of Andy Warhol
At We’re Here! our unwitting host for the day is Big Things - Kitsch, Strange & Weird Big Tourist Attractions. I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to play – Fort Collins is a very artsy place. The city fathers (mothers ??) simply do not allow any tacky fast food places shaped like giant hot dogs, nor is there a huge lumberjack in front of the local muffler shop – more’s the pity, I say! But I really wanted to get out for a morning photo walk, and so I went online looking for a destination fitting the search terms “Fort Collins giant kitsch”.
And here you go! Naturally, our kitsch is artsy.
The commemorative plaque says:
“This Work was created by the Department of Art in 1981 in association with the exhibition 'Warhol at Colorado State University' and according to the specifications and directions of Andy Warhol. Upon his arrival in Fort Collins in September of 1981, Warhol signed the work.”

"Marilyn Monroe died in August 1962, having overdosed on barbiturates. In the following four months, Warhol made more than twenty silkscreen paintings of her, all based on the same publicity photograph from the 1953 film Niagara. Warhol found in Monroe a fusion of two of his consistent themes: death and the cult of celebrity. By repeating the image, he evokes her ubiquitous presence in the media."

A nearby film theater of which I am a member is offering a free movie; a four-hour long documentary on the life of Andy Warhol, (something I’d quite like to see!) Now, take note: the task of snagging tickets is not an easy one, but a girl can dream (or be inspired by the old Factory & Studio 54 days) can’t she?
Non è forse la vita una serie d'immagini, che cambiano solo nel modo di ripetersi?
[Andy Warhol]
¿No es la vida una serie de imágenes que cambian sólo en la forma de repetirse?

Shake It! Records
Northside Ohio
While going through the 60's Garage/Psychedelic vinyl section at Shake It! Records I happened upon a repressing of The Seeds first album release from 1966. Oddly their only Top 40 hit, a fuzz laiden, garage, punk romp called Pushin' Too Hard was omitted from this release. That's not all that is somewhat interesting here, in the bin in the background is an album by Friar Tuck & His Psychedelic Guitar.
A recent upload by Flickr/Capture Cincinnati friend Margot Wood was inspiration for this shot.
Check out Shake It! Records here it's one of the coolest record store I've ever been in.

Excerpt from the plaque:
In 1965, at the height of his fame, Warhol announced that he was retiring from painting to make films. He staged his “farewell” in a New York gallery the following year. One room included only wallpaper featuring a fluorescent pink cow. In the other, metallic silver balloons filled with helium floated through the gallery space, where viewers could interact with them. Titled Silver Clouds, this work continued Warhol’s association with the colour silver: the silver Factory, his silver paintings, his silver-grey wigs.
Warhol described Silver clouds, which he made with engineer Billy Kluver, as “painting that float”. He wanted to challenge the dominance of Minimalist art in the New York art scene at the time. Minimalism prioritized order, mathematical precision, and heavy industrial materials. Although Silver Clouds is also made of an industrial material, a silver laminate called Scotchpak, Warhol approached this work with a focus on fluidity, buoyancy, and movement.
Excerpt from masterworksfineart.com:
The whimsical series came to fruition under the guidance of Pop art dealer Ivan Karp and printmaker Gerard Malanga. This series is one of the first edition print series Andy Warhol created. In 1966, he deliberately took a stand against traditional painting, boldly claiming painting was “dead” and that he was at the forefront of creating a new art form. He entered into printmaking by establishing his company, Factory Additions. The project commenced when Karp told Warhol “Why don’t you paint some cows, they’re so wonderfully pastoral and such a durable image in the history of the arts.” Printer Gerard Malanga subsequently chose the photograph which was then given to Warhol. The resulting screenprints were of vividly colored images of cows against equally dramatic backgrounds. Interestingly, all the screenprints were printed on wallpaper, lending them a decorative quality.
Inspired by the bold art of Pittsburgh native, Andy Warhol. Ya gotta love those pink Potash hoppers!

One place you might hope to find solitude and the mental room for contemplation is at a museum or art gallery.....places that seem to demand a different kind of behavior than in a restaurant or a mall or other bustling public space. This woman stands quietly, speechless, as she studies a 1967 self-portrait by American artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987) at the Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) in San Francisco.
