Local performance "artist" Sean Joseph Patrick Carney has apparently decided recently that he gets to also be a writer. Go fuck yourself. It takes years of training and work to get to the level of a real, working writer – earning your MFA doesn't mean shit. Take a look around the city and you'll begin [...]

A few weeks ago, the minicomic Henry and Glenn Forever made its debut at the Stumptown Comics Festival in Portland, Ore. A work of sheer fantasy dreamed up by Tom Neely, Scot Nobles and Gin Stevens of the art collective Igloo Tornado, the comic po...

Oh Icee bear, who shall remain nameless because it apparently doesn't actually have a name other than "Polar Bear." How I love you neo-Igloo Caps type face and your permanently retro identity. You've been holding out on me for so long, always on an ice surfboard, and in the past decade, an ice snowboard. Countless [...]

File this under "ludicrously awesome:" a new comic book by writer/illustrator team Igloo Tornado examines the (fictional) gay romance of the musclebound punk/metal icons Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins.
Published by Portland's own Microcosm Publishing, Henry & Glen Forever looks at the (again, fictional) life of the influential rockers while they support each other's projects ("Just [...]

Igloo, check. Trapeze, check. Tons of girls that are hot enough to melt the ice, double check. Stars Bridgeport iced over this week for Frost 'The Ice Party' presented by Belvedere Vodka. Set up throughout Stars was ice sculptures which included a shot luge and even an igloo for guest to sit in while they enjoyed a steamy hot dance. Providing beats for the night was DJ Pierre. The main event for the night was a incredible trapeze preformance from Parabliss Trapeze.
from the IGLOO feed...After almost 3 years, Igloo will end programming. Thanks to all of the amazing artists that exhibited!

In terms of genre, this gathering of artists presents ideas at once related under the umbrella of constructed space, yet provide a variety of challenging perspectives. These artists conspire in a loose category of structural invention, whether found at the foot of a modernist monolith, or in an impossible world flirting with utopian sketchbooks. Wrecking Crüe owes no allegiance to systems or practicality, working in an interstitial state of half-made/half-undone. What these works can do is give our current visual processing a crash course in alternative spatial understanding while questioning how creation takes form in spatial contexts.
