author...illustrator...guerilla artist
This is a reproduction of a piece that hangs in the living room at my friends Steve and Cythia's house (the original reads "THIS IS RIDICULOUS". I altered it and hung it on my living room wall last night when they came for dinner). The artist is Tucker Nichols, and I am now a huge fan of his work.
Steve and Cynthia are also wonderful artists, they have so many great ideas in the works I don't even know where to begin. See for yourself.
Steve is the founder of The Anti-Advertising Agency, as well as one of the contributors to Stay Free Magazine, (yay I am not alone in my anti-advertising sentiments).

Posted by kerismith at February 01, 2006 02:56 PMI've liked your site for ages, but never commented before. I'm only just realising that this is how the whole web thing works, leaving comments, daring to come out of anonymity and connect to a stranger. Anyhow, your disclaimer made me laugh. I'm glad to see your ad-free stance - I'm just beginning to blog, and questioning the automatic links to Amazon etc that the blog-host 'thoughtfully' provides. Can I also say a big yes please to "how to take bad photos of yourself" - you mean it's not just me with the double chin that also grows three inches longer in photos? Definitely an issue I need to keep working on. Keep on going, Keri, the blogging world definitely needs you.

Posted by: pixie on February 1, 2006 10:19 PMSomeone hung up a sign (a small wooden sign about a foot square) on a pole on the main road to the Hamptons a while back - it says: BE NICE.
It has stayed up for a couple of years. I smile when I see it, but I wonder if it helps? I can't believe no one has stolen it yet.
