I can't go to bed without sharing this little tidbit. I ran across this article featured in Hi Fructose mag (hifructose.com) about an artist, Vincent Castiglia, who grabbed my attention just before I closed the window, and thank god. He's pretty interesting, or rather his work is, I don't actually know him obviously so we'll just assume he's an interesting, cool dude. His work addresses the "aspects of the human condition;birth, decay, consummation and the pursuit of earthly indulgence" and his view of "humanity's lust for it’s own demise." Here's a little excerpt and a few pics from the full article. If you want the rest you best go get it.

"On Friday January 8th in the Year of Our Lord, 2010, as white embers blanketed the Swiss landscape like a grave, Vincent Castiglia’s latest solo exhibition opened to a burgeoning crowd in city of Zürich. His work, hung at the Museum of Porn amidst fellow edifices of false idols and pornographic indulgences found themselves amongst kindred spirits which reflect man's obsession with the soulless human shell. Castiglia’s close friend and patron, Tom Gabriel Fischer formerly of Celtic Frost was in attendance alongside members of his current band Triptykon. For those of you who cast virgin eyes upon Castiglia’s body of work, and a very literal manner of speaking at that, it’s imperative to peer into the realm of the artist himself to fully comprehend the gravity of the work's undertaking. Vincent, the twenty-seven year old surrealist and New York City native, lives and works (appropriately enough) in the City's "Hell's Kitchen" neighborhood, and was the first American artist granted a solo exhibition by Oscar Award-winning Swiss surrealist, H.R. Giger, at the H.R Giger Museum Gallery in 2008, in Gruyères, Switzerland."
