Artsy Vomit in 3-D

Once the vomit hit the intersection of 5th and Couch (AKA the Sneaker Blocks), everyone knew it was Skinner's fault (my puke, but his fault). As a rule, art shows never supply 3-D glasses and beer because it makes people puke, but apparently the Mercury doesn't care. In fact we were thrilled to supply Upper Playground's new show by Skinner Davis with 3-D glasses.

If you read the next issue of Juxtapoz magazine, you'll find out more about Skinner and his charismatic, drug-induced, demon-beckoning, perverse, yet arousing artwork. Until then you should really go see the show for yourself. This isn't because I don't have the words to describe the show—it's just that art is a visual language and these pictures don't lie.

Ok, I have no clue who this guy is... But I'm pissed that he got posting privileges before me, CAT or Blabby.

Second, the Managing Editor of the Portland Mercury is Marjorie Skinner. So if you're going to say, "everyone knew it was Skinner's fault" please make sure to make it clear that you're talking about someone who isn't a well known Mercury Employee.

Graham I believe this "Scrapper" actually works for the Smirkury as a builder and illustrator.

Also, if you'd read the post, genius, you'd have seen that the artist's name is Skinner.

jake, if your head wasn't up your ass you'd have realized that scrapper doesn't know how to write. You do not introduce a person in an article by only their first or last names. You first present them with their full name in order to clarify who the fuck it is you're talking about.
