Artist on Cover: Jason Kishell, “Smug Mug”
People of all ages and cultures respond to humor enthusiastically and craft artwork definitely can be very funny! Often, the work exudes a sense of the absurd due to exaggerated size or by being executed in unusual materials. Craft artwork can be highly ironic, political, sarcastic, or just plain amusing, and it comes in a variety of media, such as metals, wood, fibers, ceramics, glass, mixed media, etc.
Brigitte Martin has started to develop a book about the role humor plays in contemporary craft and is looking for submissions for initial consideration:
– Images of humorous artwork,
– Texts/essays by the contributing artists, commenting about humorous aspects in their artwork,
– Audio art,
– Video art (the book will contain a CD of audio/video art depending on qualifying submissions,)
– Essays by writers about the role of humor and fun in craft.
Can you show us humor in all its shades expressed through craft artwork and text? Who decides what’s funny and what isn’t? What topics are off-limits? Is irony funny? Sarcasm? Are politics funny? Religion?
This planned book aims to provide the viewer with entertainment, commentary, and of course, many fine craft pieces by makers from all over the world. Humor has no borders. Or does it? It might be interesting to learn how a piece will be hilarious in China, but only garner mild astonishment in Sweden and vice versa.
This call is open to craft artists working in all craft media. crafthaus membership is not required. International entries are particularly welcome and encouraged to participate!
Final deadline: March 1, 2011 .

This happens to me too often with Monday eye candy, I find an incredible artist to share with you and the wealth of images to chose from is just to hard to narrow down. Today is a perfect example. Fausto Salvi’s work is exquisitely rendered, playful, engaging, and varied. His practice could not be summed up in one image, so here are a few for you to enjoy.
