I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6, but who cares really? !

My Interests

What are we exactly?
A reasonable question, I suppose. Well, as for the group, or “The Big Bone Crew” as it is known on the hard streets of Louisville - we are...
1. A group of local and regional artists (and friends) joining together to form a network of “art geeks”. To work together to support each other and the local art community!
2. An on-going series of art shows, meant to highlight some great artists! Always interested in new and interesting art. We aren’t quite as fancy some of the gallery shows, but hopefully we’re a little more fun instead.
3. A forthcoming publication focusing on the arts and other random pop culture.
4. Everyone's favorite MySpace page! Right? Hello, anyone...
5. An organization hell-bent on world domination! Much like COBRA! Well, except hopefully we can learn to shoot our lasers a little more accurately. (Which reminds me, I need to get me one of those Cobra Commander hoods! Evil yet stylish.)

Join The Big Bone Crew!!!

Ahhh, and now for The Legend of The Bone". The bone itself is a creature shrouded in mystery. Much like Bigfoot or Nessie, tales of “The Big Bone” are both strange and varied. While some describe “the bone” as being as big as 50 feet tall. Others say, he is barely over six feet, but he has a mean offensive game. He’s been blamed for everything from cave paintings at the Baja Peninsula to the graffiti down the street from your house. Some say he is a mutant femur, the result of sinister government testing! Others say he is the embodiment of the creative spirit itself! Ever been sitting quietly and suddenly you’re struck by the urge to do something creative or weird? You may have been under the seductive spell of the infamous big bone!
He is rarely seen and most photos are blurry or forgeries! But his impact is felt around the world. Paintings, poems, songs - all in his honor. Why I even hear some fool made a giant sculpture in his likeness. So whether you are a true believer or a doubtful sceptic, you have made your way here - so take a moment to look the page over. Regardless of your faith in “The Bone”, his presence has made a difference to the art geeks that understand his true purpose.


The Big Bone Photo Project!!
Do you own a camera? Do you have a femur laying around? Have you even been in a Turkish prison?
Ok, scratch that last one. But the other two are just what we’re looking for! "The Oddity Studios" is conducting an on-going photo project featuring our favorite thing - a big bone! Just take a photo of someone holding a bone and send it to us, that’s it. It’s pretty simple. Plus once a year we have a contest to choose the best photo from that year! Here’s some more details:
* First, take as many photos as you want of people with a bone (specifically a femur, or something similar to it is what we are looking for) and e-mail them to: [email protected] (or post them on this page if you want??)
* Now, maybe you already have a bone (if so, good for you!), if not, just contact me through this page and let me know, and I can send you one of the small “travel-size” bones. But truthfully, a full size one is going to look so much better in the photos. So I suggest hitting a costume shop, medical supply store, or many of the on-line sources (Ebay) to get a full size model. They are just great to have around the house anyway! (Note to serial killers, you are free to use an “actual” human femur if you want - but we take no responsibilty for the legal trouble you get in getting or carrying that around with you. Plus you’ll probably creep out “normal” people.)
*We want shots of people holding the bone, it can be you, or your friends, or even better, random people you don’t know! Or the best way to go is - celebrities! If you score a celebrity of any caliber - you may have the contest in the bag! Use your imagination! Creativity counts!(just like in grade school.) But mostly, we just want to see some fun pictures (with a bone?)!!
* No photo shop please. Any fake images will be disqualified. We want real images, of real people holding a real bone (or a reasonable facsimile).
*And great entries will be displayed along the way on the web site and this page, to show off your work! And entries will be posted with the photographer’s name, we don’t want to claim your photo - just show it off!
The winning photographer of the yearly contest will get a prize package of sorts that will include at least:
- The winning photo will be on display with the winner’s name in “Nancy’s Bagel Grounds” for a full month after the contest ends! (Inappropriate photos may be excluded from this one)
- The winning photo will be printed in an upcoming issue of "The Big Bone" magazine!
- The winning photo will be featured in a future ad for an upcoming date of “The Big Bone Art Show”!
- Plus you will get bragging rights amongst the rest of The Big Bone crew and all your loser friends who aren’t near as cool as you are!
- And more stuff, maybe a car or a million dollars (uhh, maybe not.) Check back for updates!
Now Get To Work!!
