Marlow and JoDavid came to the studio to see Michael Frank's (the Curator-in-Chief of The Museum of Bad Art) presentation on the guildelines MOBA uses to select the paintings for their permanent collection.
Michael Frank, Curator-in-chief of the Museum of Bad Art visited Seattle a few weeks ago to do a book signing in my studio.
He was kind enough to bring this piece to trade to The Sauce (okay, I demanded a trade -- but still...nice of him).
He still has yet to send me a story, so I've cobbled together some bits from our email exchange re: our very different lodgings in Portland. I'm sure Michael will send a story someday, but in the meantime, enjoy this.
Mike's offer was for the Frog Riding a Turtle statue.
I immediately accepted Mike's offer because someone who shall remain nameless has been hassling me to get her a Moosehead. Often she will just send me emails with the following text:
This weird moose decoration came from Michael Frank, Curator in Chief for the Museum of Bad Art.
Here is his story:
This is a daddy moose and 2 baby meese. They stand just over 2 feet tall. Dad is wearing green corduroy overalls, a nice fleece sweater,and red boots. The kid clinging to his leg has red corduroy pants and a knitted sweater. The baby on top is wearing only a knitted scarf around his neck.
Mike, Curator-in-Chief at the Museum of Bad Art gave me this piece out of his personal collection. His wife was tired of it. I don't blame her. Especially if she ever tried to carry it anywhere. It's heavy. Really, really heavy.
