Doot Doot Garden: The Blog of Craig Thompson
paintallica August 28th, 2008

I’m a bit anxious about what I’ve gotten myself into…
…agreeing to participate in a chaotic painting/performance/installation/collaboration called PAINTALLICA.
The namesake should cancel out all the artsy-fartsy pretensions. My understanding is that there will be
a couple sleepless nights of a group of us ransacking a PICA-ordained gallery space. And the project is
headed up by my recently-mentioned Wisco’ art buddy Dan Attoe. It’s all part of the famous
Time Based Arts Festival in Portland. Here’s some details. And at the Portland Mercury.
For comics fans, Jeremy Tinder will also be joining in on the action. Also there will likely be much shirtlessness.

    to be frank…that photo is a tad bit homo-erotic.

    …and i mean that in the best way possible.

    I saw a slide show on the last Paintallica. They ended up creating a wild collaborative wonderland and nearly destroying the gallery in the process. Enjoy!

    it’s not bad at all to have a piece of destruction time by time in your life… hm?

    Thanks for all that.

    Gracias, Craig. Acabo de terminar tu “Blankets”. Extraordinario. Me ha conmovido de principio a fin. Lo utilizaré en mis clases de literatura. Gracias.

    Shirtless painting is a must. The year I started doing art again after a long break from it, I painted a mural while shirtless. I then proceeded to utter a primal yawp to the moon.
