Visual Art Offered Without Comment

Posted by Jen Graves on Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 10:31 AM

The Wall Street Journal reports that Dave Matthews is an artist.

Mr. Matthews, who got his start on the music scene in Charlottesville, Va., improvised a deep Southern accent to explain "Trophy," an in-your-face depiction of Louisiana deer hunting. He compared himself to a neurotic man banging a cowbell. He dropped several words that can't be printed here and several others that were garbled. He drank orange juice infused with something stronger than orange juice.

Robert Miller Gallery in New York is showing Trophy and the rest this month; see for yourself.

"Trophy" doesn't appear to be among the images at the link.

Gee, I'm a pretentious Stranger-reading hipster and I'm WAY to cool for Dave Matthews. Give me a break. Dave's fine. Leave him alone.

dude f dave matthews ok, all i know is i leave for half a day to go buy comic books and the whole fucking place falls apart, who is suing who, and all that. a bunch of drama queens. so when i got comics this afternoon i saw a copy of the stranger at the bus stop and i picked it up because i haven't read one in like a year almost and inside was your new A & P Jen. i was gonna make some wise ass comment about it being "attractively written" and all that but i actually really thought the interviews with the artists in it were very good jen. i was gonna say something else but i forget. oh yeah, the comics i got were:

iron man issue 123 (1979)
dc strange adventures (looks like maybe 1969)
king comics "the phantom" (also circa 1967)
spectacular spider man issue 109 (1985)
and a bunch more strange adventure, iron man, and spider man comics from the 70's.
king comics flash gordon issue 10 (1967)
