First Thursday: robot vs ponies

Periscope Studio — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 07:40:40 +0000

Another First Thursday, another gallery opening that features work from our studio members. And this month there’s two shows!

Erika Moen, Terri Nelson, Cat Farris, and a string of other artists contribute their modified My Little Ponies to the OMG PWN!ES group exhibition at The Sequential Art Gallery. There will be tentacles until January. The opening reception begins at 6pm.

Paul Guinan moved his 25 piece Boilerplate robot art show from the ArtBar over to the Pearl Room at Powell’s Books on Burnside. A second, and last chance, to catch this show, it runs until the first weekend of January. The Thursday reception begins at 6:30pm. Paul will sketch in copies of the robot’s book.

Times tells Terri’s tumor twitter tale.

“Twittering an operation might seem frivolous, but when Ms. Nelson’s teeth began chattering after the procedure, a friend following the updates suggested it could be a potentially hazardous side effect, tardive dyskinesia, that can occur with one of the antinausea drugs Ms. Nelson was taking. (Her husband) who had been researching that very point when the message from the friend, Ken Yee, came in, was able to get the medication changed.

Periscope’s Terri Nelson had a fibroid tumor removed recently, and all sorts of web2.0 tech came into play. Read all about it in the New York Times.

Most Periscope Studio members have opposable thumbs.

Here is a portrait of an aye-aye, a rather disreputable prosimian that lives in Madagascar. It was drawn by Terri Nelson for Susan McCarthy’s new blog, Nature of the Beast.

Susan is a journalist and an author, specializing in two areas: wildlife and animal behavior; and humor. She is the co-author, with Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, of When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Lives of Animals, and the author of Becoming A Tiger: How Baby Animals Learn to Live in the Wild. Terri Nelson has opposable thumbs and uses them quite frequently in order to draw.
