(art show!)—Utah Draws: Contour and Context
(blah blah blah): The eight artists selected to participate devote significant time to drawing in their artistic practice. While all of these artists approach drawing through its formal qualities, each grapples with differing concerns including environmental, literary, and personal reflections. Utah Draws features work by artists: Adam Bateman (Salt Lake City), Susan Beck (Salt Lake City), Joey Behrens (Salt Lake City), Eric Brown (Cedar City), Jane Catlin (Hyde Park), DAN CHRISTOFFERSON (our boy), Steven Larson (Salt Lake City), and David Edward Linn (Elk Ridge). have been selected as a demonstration of the dynamic array of styles, media and subjects– ranging from the human figure, to landscape, to more conceptual explorations – currently being explored by Utah artists.

Danny is gearing up for a major art show at Palmer’s Gallery in mid-January. We’ll tell you tons more later on. Just know that it’s a HD (HD: Huge Deal, as opposed to NBD: No Big Deal). This is just to tease you:

It was a chilly Utah morning made a bit warmer by the surprising treat of one of these custom-designed (and warm enough for any tundra) screenprinted hoodies (laid gently with care) on each of the Struckers’ chairs this Thursday. Where did they come from? Santa, of course. Why did they give them to us? Because we’ve been good, that’s why. Lovingly designed by Dan C., they are hybrid Struck/Invasion branded and boast the hottest astronaut on record. Thanks, Santa.
What? If FM100 is already playing Christmas music, and people are leaving presents on people’s desks, I’m going to write about Christmas.

It’s only been 5 days since the Salt Palace in downtown Salt Lake looked like this:
And already there’s not a trace of evidence (except a few downtown vagrants suspiciously sporting new orange knapsacks) that we were ever here. Every piece of vinyl is down, every window cling is unclung, every custom fabric banner is undraped, the snowflakes are just boring metal frames, and the massive ’salt shakers’ are once again clear glass. It feels a bit like the day after Christmas, or a few hours after Thanksgiving dinner. After months of preparation, it happens. And after all that hard work, and the short frame of ecstasy, it’s over. Not necessarily a bad feeling, just a strange one. Invasion was a big part of our day, and now it’s gone. Not that we won’t start on next year’s convention in the blink of an eye, but there will always be a soft little spot right here in our hearts for Invasion. Am I getting too sentimental? Quick, someone post about Halo.

This photo was taken just moments (a day) before our beloved Dan’s freshly shorn head was defiled by a dirty dirty pigeon and his runny, grainy waste. Tough break, Dan. At least he didn’t get Peder’s luscious curls.
