Sandow Birk at SJMA
Sandow Birk, Inferno, 2003, oil on acrylic on canvas. Collection of the San Jose Museum of Art.
Sandow Birk is a contemporary master painter that portrays a post apocalyptic view of our cities and the human demise due to apathy and consumerism. The current exhibit at SJMA is Sandow's most recent series in which he retranslates Dante's The Divine Comedy: Inferno, Purgatorio and Paradiso with massive paintings, detailed engravings and a three part book
It's an amazing exhibit - be sure to check it out before it ends on January 8, 2006.

About World War 3
Founded in 1980 by Seth Tobocman and Peter Kuper, World War 3 is the longest running zine in America. A labor of love,the annual magazine has been run by a collective of artists working with the unified goal of creating a home for political comics, graphics and stories. The rotating editorial board has included over the years along with Seth and Peter,Sabrina Jones, Scott Cunningham,Kevin Pyle,Nicole Schulman,Eric Drooker,Susan Wilmart, Christopher Cardinale,Ryan Inzana,Paula
Hewitt,Fly,and Chuck Sperry among many others.The magazine could never have survived without this collective effort and the contribution of so many other artists and writers who have donated their talents.
If we had a manifesto (which we don't) it might say if you're going to talk about changing society, a magazine's not a bad place to start.
There is a lot going on in this world that can be examined, exposed and addressed through art. World War 3 is a document of our collective history from the shadow cast by Ronald Reagan to Iran Contra, the Tompkins Square Riot, The Gulf war, 9-11 through the corruption of George W. Bush' administration. WW3 isn't about a War that may happen, it is about the ongoing wars our so-called leaders have been waging against people around the world and on our very own doorsteps.WW3 also addresses the war we wage on each other and sometimes the one taking place in our own brains. We have been publishing for 25 years and this is only the beginning.

We're No. 2
Best of Metro
We wanted to thank everyone that voted for Anno Domini as "Best Place To Look At Art."
We came in as Runners Up to the SJ Museum of Art. Not bad considering our budget probably equals their toilet paper fund per year!

Artist Targeted Scams
We get these emails now and again from "buyers" in Nigeria that are interested in buying, distributing and selling our "artworks." We never respond, but apparently some artists fall for it. So just a heads up - here's some good info on what to look for.
