 This is an awesome magazine and not just because Denzel is on the cover. He’s also the Centerfold and the headline is Washington Monument :-)
This one is sweet:

How fast do those things go again?
Can you really shoot a gun and hit the right person on that thing?

Have you heard about the art show that CL is sponsoring?
The show is called “Counter Culture” and it features art created by the local art collective known as God City.
The work in the show focuses on the media and pop culture. It’s going on right now at the Art House (in NoDa). We’re also hosting another opening reception on March 21.
Presenting another “artist I dig.” This post, I bring you the work of painter Eric Mack.
Now, his stuff is difficult to describe, so I’ll show you what he says about his own work:
While exploring and exposing various subject matter, my goal is to recognize how shape, form, and pattern are primary in our daily outlook.
The works created can be described as visual sheet music. Blocks and angles of color brushed and smudged across random perimeters of various medium. Broken and solid line work split and gel together the variety of hue and shape. Found within the core of the work are the cultural references, signs of technological advances, schematical diagrams, component dials and switches are all included for their fundamental form. Most of them are basic circles, squares, and triangles. When these ideas are put together it creates a piece of music that is seen instead of heard. The rhythm of life is inhaled and exhaled with each day that is given to us.
Here’s some more of his stuff:


You know the drill — but this one’s from the Creative Lusting site. Enter, mageman2k8:
Let’s do the damn thing
My thirties are going to be my twenties. So I’m looking for a girl willing to hop on and ride this crazy train for a night or a week but nothing to tied up or attached. Just a little fun for all involved.
Do you have the Apple iPhone? I do! I always get excited when I see people with it. I think we should start an iPhone club.
Although … I’m sad to report that I dropped it the other day. It’s got two scratches on the top corner.

Here’s more weirdness from the Craigslist personals. This one’s out of South Charlotte:
