Here are the art trading cards that I'm thinking about giving away at Club HELL. I made them on a whim, and never figured out what to do with them.

They're about the same size as baseball cards, and printed on acid-free, archival cardstock. All are reproductions of pieces that I've shown at various shows. There are nine, hand-numbered pieces in each edition.

I'm still not sure exactly what criteria I'll use to give them away. I'd like it to be something fun, sexy and kinda silly - like flashing me or grabbing my ass (so far, those are the most popular suggestions). Jonni suggested handing them out to people who ask good questions about the work, but the music is usual loud enough to make that one difficult (at best).


Edit: Rather than settle on just one condition, I've select my 5 favorites from the suggestions I have received...

This month, I'll be giving away *very* limited edition art trading-cards to anyone who does ONE of the following:

1) Trades me a card (or other piece of art) of their own.
2) Grabs my ass. (my personal favorite... lol)
3) Flashes me.
4) Signs up to model for my work.
5) Can tell me what my "Known Soldier" piece is about.

Limit 1 per person, while supplies last.

Anyway, here they are. Most are not safe for work... of course.

By taking two traditional symbols of marriage: the color white and 'tying the knot', the White Knot creates a simple way to show support for marriage equality.  All couples, regardless of gender or orientation, deserve the same legal rights, benefits, and respect that civil marriage bestows.

Gen. Colin Powell (Ret.), while endorsing Senator Obama for President:

I'm also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say. And it is permitted to be said such things as, "Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is, he is not a Muslim; he's a Christian. He's always been a Christian. But the really right answer is, what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer's no, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some seven-year-old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she could be president? Yet, I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion, "He's a Muslim and he might be associated terrorists." This is not the way we should be doing it in America. I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo essay about troops who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son's grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards -- Purple Heart, Bronze Star -- showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn't have a Christian cross; it didn't have the Star of David; it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life.

The main-stream media tolerance of anti-Arab/Muslim racism has been gnawing at me for a few weeks now.  Regardless of any politics or endorsements, I'm glad that General Powell chose to point out this egregious double-standard.
