"...I noticed in one folder, along with the O'Doherty page, a passport application, some yellowed clippings from Apollinaire and Henry James, pages ripped from old Hulk comics and an advertisement from the 1940's British magazine Lilliput for men's underwear, the image from which Pettibon once used in a drawing. It was the slogan that interested him now, he said: "For Men of Peace, for Men of War, for Men Who Find Them Both a Bore." On a separate page, torn from "Finnegans Wake," Pettibon had underlined some of Joyce's made-up words, like "zoravarn" and "damman," to which he added: "funeureal," "puskkalating," "perticulating."

Sharing a great new year's image + message I received as an email from Devin Flynn. The title of this post is from the title of his email.

I asked him about the image: "...my mom made that pancake actually. Its a tradition in our house to make face pancakes, but she bumped it up a notch!..."

Happy New Year everybody...!
