I was very pleased to have the opportunity to participate in this year's Art Papers Auction. This is the image that was accepted and it ended up going for $180.00. Hopefully, this exposure will bring more attention to my work in the future...
I picked this little gem of a cheese from Carr Valley Cheese Company at Harry's Farmers Market in Alpharetta. A blend of cow, sheep, & goat's milk, Its flavor is abolutely incredible. It won first place in its category at the American Cheese Society competition back in 2005.
I like the colors on this book, even though this matchbook is from the early fifties, the color is still really intact.
I recently returned from a trip to NYC and I managed to procure one of these fine sausage wheels and grilled it on my friends Weber. I must say that it was some truly cheesy goodness.
Mellified Man: Mellified Man was a manmade dish popular in ancient Arabia. According to Mary Roach, author of Stiff, men 70-80 years old, on death’s doorstep anyway, would cease to eat food, instead partaking solely of honey. Pretty soon, they would be mellified, that is, “he excretes honey (the urine and feces are entirely honey).” Soon he dies and is placed in a honey-filled coffin which is then sealed for 100 years. At the end of the 100 years, the goop is eaten up.
