The Artist Katie G mentioned: Alex Pardee

This blog entry is for fun.
Comment if you like (tell Katie what you think) or just watch. This is not for a grade.

Ok so.....
I looked him up and, woah! Alex Pardee is an amazing and yet super creepy artist.
Here is a video of him painting in fast forward. The Artwork was done for a show at an ultra-spiffy avant-guarde gallery called 1988. The show is called the "idiot box". It's about old tv shows with a twist. The show opens on the 20th anniversary of Saved by the Bell. This piece is about Steve Earkle from the show Family Matters. For those of you too young to know this was on on Friday nights and the character was the lovable nerdy next door neighbor. He was known for saying "did I do that" after every calamity.

You may need to see the video at a computer at home. If that is not possible see me and I'll show you on my computer.
