Michael Devine

Michael Devine is a self taught artist and writer from Detroit. Bingo Cards to Offend Humanity came about when he came into possession of 500 vintage bingo cards right at the beginning of the covid lockdown. He found they were perfect little canvases for mixed media collage. Planning to do just a handful, the plague did not recede, and in a few frenzied months of isolation he had finished all 500. Using unique source material that was often graphic, funny, and disturbing, many of the cards are truly offensive to humanity — but in a good way. You can see many more posted here:

Stranger Than Kindness, By Nick Cave

stranger_than_kindness_nick_cave

Canongate Books, 276 pages

Nick Cave changed my life when I first discovered him, sometime back in the mid-90s, by which point he’d already built a career spanning decades and the musical landscape I perceived at the time was growing ever more bleaker by the second. Personally, I’m still with him where he stated, “I’m forever near a stereo saying, ‘What the fuck is this garbage?’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” Still, the younger, saltier Cave of that era now seems a far cry removed from the older, more mellowed version of today, and the two of them finally chance to meet within the pages and on the cover of this gorgeously intimate book.

Cataloguing a lifetime’s worth of writing, artwork, and various other artifacts from Cave’s childhood through this present day, Stranger Than Kindness represents a selection of pieces from the exhibit of the same name, which finally opened last month at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen. For those unable to attend, I would highly recommend this book for the insights it provides into the life and works of its subject.
