Why we do what we do.

Because someday, if we’re very good and we’re very lucky and we work very hard and we somehow manage to reach the very top and do something new, something so new that people notice, and not just notice, remember, why then, we might see our work immortalized by Barbie.

    Note how banal Klimt’s design becomes, translated onto an absurdly proportioned fashion doll. The long-nosed beauty with the fin de siecle hair resists transfer to Barbie’s mass-produced head.

    ‘Fess up — you saw the Google homepage with the Klimt image.

      ‘Pon my word, I did not. I published, and then did a search for “Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani.” Only then did I notice the Google thingy, and I went back and added the tag. I had spotted the doll at the mall toy store a week earlier, right next to a Barbie Pussy Galore (from Goldfinger).

    Now Mattel has a good way to use up a lot of surplus Ken heads.
