KIDDIE
CIRCUS - (series I) is a collaboration between artists Jason Lee Starin
& Chris Sandon which features humor-based, pseudo-circus, oversized
paintings of imaginary FREAKS, GEEKS, & NEO-MYTHOLOGICAL CREATURES.
The series was completed in one hot week in June of 2005. The show traveled
through numerous art & music venues throughout the summer & fall
of 2005. Shows so far have become strange & wonderful one day event/parties
which have feature such sights as PIPE CLEANER RINGMASTER MUSTACHES, indie
rock, CLOWN PORN PROJECTIONS, people drinking beer, RITUALISTIC CAVEMAN
GALLERY FLOOR URINATIONS, & hugs. The show will likely continue to
travel into the future with fun & uncertain sucess. (If you'd like
KIDDIE CIRCUS in your town, then go ahead & let us know.)

SKULL DONKEY RIDES
- "Skull Donkey is the newest in a classic tradition of characters
representing death, joining the likes of the Grim Reaper & Jesus Christ.
However, Skull Donkey does not so easily fit in with the past architypes
of death. Skull Donkey is the symbol of a more specifically RANDOM type
of death. This type of fatality is personafied as a sort of oversized
puppy, running around excitedly, IGNORANT to the fact that it is destroying
everything in it's path. Skull Donkey is the most TRAGIC and yet the least
vengful, evil, or even liable perpetuator of DEATH." -Chris Sandon
