Status Update

MOTB has been on hiatus for a few weeks, as I have been visiting family in California and hosting visitors. When I return to writing, I’ll have plenty to post about. Quick list: Zombieland, Kick-Ass, Black Snake Moan, LA Opera’s production of Sigfried, Persepolis, and Tales of the City.

Thank You!

May 2010 has been a very good month for Mouth of the Beast. We passed an important milestone this month, with over 1,000 pageviews. Thanks to those who follow via RSS, those who come to browse, and those who have visited via Twitter.

As always, I welcome comments, contact, and suggestions at MOTBlog@yahoo.com.

Thank you,

Cool Hunting has news about “Art from the New World,” an exhibition of works by American street, pop, and fine artists. I’ve never heard of the people mentioned, but based on the images on the page, I think I’ll have to check it out.
