ART: THAT AIN'T WORKING >>>

I’m the janitor at the Weekly Volcano World Headquarters. It’s a shitty job. These people are slobs, but the benefits are nice and I steal nickels from the honor candy box every night.

Anyway, for the entire month of November, they asked me to review their office art as well as office art around Tacoma for some “brilliant” art blog series. I get it. My name is Art. They think they’re so clever. It’s a crap idea, but I could use the extra $7.50 a week.

I’ll start with some leaf art thing here at the Volcano office that I’m forced to look at every night. Hell if I’m driving across town in the rain to review some other piece of art.

LEAF THING: It's a nice design with a good use of muted, value-keyed color utilizing pairings of complimentary colors or, more technically, probably what's called split complements. It's not very exciting but not bad.

Oh yeah, the guy with the pile of empty coleslaw containers in his top drawer wanted me to paste something below. Can you believe I’m the one posting this stuff? They gave me the password! â€" weeklyvolcano. Einsteins â€" all of them.
