" and he lashed his open palm with the tender-headed flower. he smiled for her to smile, for a woman and a puzzle. he flicked and flung the flower, and another sort of smile caught up like fingertips and cracked his ragged muzzle. she was standing to the waist her shining hair displaced. he stretched her either arm to touch her neck and hair. so she thought she heard him say; though with every word he spoke his lips were sucked and blown and the effort made him choke she dared not stir a foot, lest movement should provoke that slumbers in a brute.

Mat Gleason: Robert Williams: A Tribute on His 70th Birthday

His significant contribution to fine art was rediscovering classical figurative painting techniques and reintroducing them to an American audience with a revolutionary twist - it came to be called "Low-Brow," but in his earliest major paintings in the late 1960s they were called "Psychedelic" and much worse. Derided and degraded for decades by the contemporary art establishment, he rose to the top with a commitment to using the visual vocabulary of the cartoon as a realistic painting, rendered with precision and unlimited imagination.

I wrote this article in 2009 for an issue of Juxtapoz Magazine devoted exclusively to him and his art, and I now share it with you now here at the Huffington Post Arts to honor a great American artist.

The Art of Rock Balancing by Michael Grab. Michael Grab is an artist that has been ‘rock balancing‘ since 2008.

The Art of Rock Balancing by Michael Grab

Much of his recent work has been done around the Boulder, Colorado area. Grab finds the process both spiritual and therapeutic. On his site gravityglue.com, Grab explains: “The most fundamental element of balancing in a physical sense is finding some kind of ‘tripod’ for the rock to stand on. Every rock is covered in a variety of tiny to large indentations that can act as a tripod for the rock to stand upright, or in most orientations you can think of with other rocks.

The routine search of a Kentucky arrestee turned prickly Monday when a jail employee detected something hidden in an unexpected place. Jessica Webster, 29, was initially arrested for burglarizing a Louisville home but is now facing further charges after corrections officers discovered she was hiding hypodermic needles inside her vagina , reports The Smoking Gun. Though her smuggling technique may seem surprising, it's not an unheard-of strategy for a female criminal.

A report filed by a Louisville Metro Department of Corrections officer notes that, before her pat-down, Webster was asked if she had any contraband and said no. After the needles were discovered, Webster said she needed them because she was a heroin addict. "The needles appeared empty but may have drug residue ," the report adds. Webster's strategy is not as novel as it sounds. Webster has a long way to go, however, before she reaches the amazing precedent set in October by Philadelphia, Pa., woman Ashley Bellamy.

Photograph by Tom Chargin WE lost Phil Tiger, 58, who died of cancer Aug 30. The news made me think of "Didn't He Ramble," a New Orleans song celebrating the here-comes-trouble life: And when he took his ladder out to go and paint the town/ They had to take their megaphones to call the rambler down.

Tiger was a genius for stirring it up, but the talent for mischief shouldn't eclipse his art. That artistic talent is demonstrated in pictures on Tiger's Facebook shrine. So is the grief of those "who knew him or wish they did. " Chargin emphasizes "the quieter serious artist. It was the performance artist and punk rocker that more people knew: Tiger performed in the Bruces, creating a space-craft called "the BX90" from cardboard and dry ice as stagecraft at Marsugi's for one show. When not working in virtually all media, Tiger pursued other interests. Tumblr. Motörhead - Ace of Spades (Ukulele cover) Larry Flynt Offers Richard Mourdock $1 Million Rape Challenge.

When Indiana GOP Senate candidate Richard Mourdock declared he opposes aborting pregnancies conceived in rape because "it is something that God intended to happen," he came under a lot of fire.

Larry Flynt Offers Richard Mourdock $1 Million Rape Challenge

While he's apologized if he offended people for the controversial comment, he has stuck to his guns. "You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, you can't unring the bell," Mourdock said. Now, Hustler publisher Larry Flynt is offering $1 million to Mourdock if the Tea Party favorite can prove his statement that “even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.” Flynt also suggests that divine intervention must have happened for Mourdock to make the statements in the first place.

"I assume that you would not have made this statement unless you had been authorized by God. Flynt is only giving Mourdock until 8 p.m., Nov. 5, 2012, to submit the information in order to collect the cash. So far, Mourdock hasn't responded to the offer. تكبيرات العيد by takbeerat. Found Photos Of The Rolling Stones: Who Took Them? Claire O'Neill October 16, 2012 On a recent afternoon at an estate sale outside Los Angeles, Lauren White found about 40 photos of the Rolling Stones taken during their American tour of 1965 — completely unclaimed in an unmarked box.

Found Photos Of The Rolling Stones: Who Took Them?

They're now on display in an L.A. exhibit, but no one has come forth as the photographer. My guess: Maybe Bob Bonis, an early U.S. tour manager, who recently released a book of photos including scenes from the same pool. White, though, has her own theory: "My female intuition says that it was a girl. If you look at the photos, they look very vulnerable. Considering the number of Brian Jones photos (see slide 13), perhaps an early girlfriend? "It's not, like, the craziest thing," she admits. White, who is also a musician, says she likes seeing the Stones in their early 20s on the cusp of fame.
