I am too bored/lazy/uninspired by my remaining Maudit Artists. So in the interest of honoring them, here they are in a jumbled heap:
1) Rachel Griffiths, for her gripping portrayal of my all-time favorite tv series character, Brenda on Six Feet Under.
2) My spiritual guide, author, artist, and futurist Douglas Coupland.
3) Frank Warren, the PostSecret guy.
4) Anne Sexton, and how if you loved Sylvia Plath as a teenager and find her kind of so-so as an adult, her pal Anne carries her poetic themes into adulthood for ya.
5) Katha Pollitt
6) Miranda July, but only as a starting point for a discussion on how artists don't become successful on talent alone.
7) John Lennon
8) Wm. Steven Humphrey of The Stranger and the Portland Mercury fame.
Congratulations, all. Fake plastic plaques will be mailed sometime in the distant future.
