Ed Wood's Sleaze Paperbacks
"Sleaze-master general Ed Davis Wood Jr was responsible for some of the strangest pulp-fiction porn novels of the 50s and 60s. To call him eccentric is a bit of an understatement, his demise and eventual death at the hands of alcohol saw him die in poverty but along the way he wrote a series of oddball stories fusing ’shock’ sex tales of biker chicks, horror orgies and surpressed desire in suburbia, with his own brand of psychology, sociology and philosophical argument. Boo-Hooray has tracked down some of his rarest and most collectable books and will be displaying them in the gallery from November. The covers alone worth the visit."

Dressed For Dinner
David Blaine wears an Adam Kimmel suit to dine with a great white shark. Check it out, it's great.
Also, Blaine's TED talk about training to hold his breath for 17 minutes. Not as visually stunning, but it'll make you think twice before calling him a fame-hungry hack.

Prolific Brooklyn-based street artist and printmaker. Check out her work and interesting TED talk:

Sorry to Wake You, But I Really Want to Show You Something
Darrel Perkins is a printmaker and illustrator from Providence, Rhode Island. Sorry to Wake You, But I Really Want to Show You Something is a collection of prints from his past year in Edinburgh. They maintain a style of concise printmaking technique and an eye for contrast. There is a common thread of romance and a nautical theme to the subject matter. While some were designed as personal endeavors, others were illustrations for books, poems, songs, or movies.
For more information and to view more work, visit drlperkins.com or enquire with The Old Ambulance Depot.

Prints
New additions to drlperkins.com:
Bookmark. Drypoint print.
Danse Macabre. Linocut.
Illustration of Hugh Hothem poem:
Under the green evening the stars drip over the dimming horizon and stalactite city.
Over the table I whisper a conversation with the dead, their hollow esophagus's
and alabaster vertebrates throating silent breath. Dance, she whispers
like a grave song without a name.
I say, let's only lie to each other,
and we spill through the streets like wine,
so elegant and refined - her movement against mine,
cloth falling by waysides of ribs
while lying down in the blue lawn, our legs pass
coordinated as a dance and touching my neck
with the tips of your fingers shifting
into the frays of your essence.
In the night, you say, I can't tell if birds reorient destinies,
Or the stars take flight as angels sound oboe and conch shell
while men have waited all day to sit across the table
from women to talk about the duck and asparagus.

Steve Jobs
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Steve Jobs, 1955-2011
