ragtags studio central: sarah's random this & that

random means "having no definite aim or purpose," (1655), taken from "at random" (1565), "at great speed" (thus, "carelessly, haphazardly"). In 1980s college student slang, it somehow, and sadly, acquired a distinct sense of "inferior, undesirable." (Online Etymology Dictionary, Douglas Harper) Well, okay, fine, Mr. Online Etymology Dictionary person, but THIS is the 21st Century. It's a whole new ball of wax.

The Play's the Thing




These sets for “The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island (Or, the Friends of Dr. Rushower),” a new musical by Ben Katchor playing at the Vineyard Theatre in NYC are rockin' the "ink drawings w/watercolor" world. Click on the link below, or the title above to see a video of Mr. Katchor talking about the sets: many more are shown - I am particularly enamored of the French Cleaners. . .
