Shell Game


Neil Gaiman tweeted a link to Shell Game, a Kickstarter project from Molly Crabapple. Her goal is to raise $30,000 by March 27th.

From her webpage:
Shell Game is an art show about the world financial collapse, and the people who have risen up in protest against it. I'll create nine giant paintings about the different parts of the collapse and the global movement fighting back (including Goldman Sachs, Greece, and Occupy Wall Street), but filter them through my lens of burlesque, surrealism, satire, and symbolic animals. Then, I'm going to rent a storefront in New York city, rig it out like a gambling parlor, and invite the city and the Internet to check it out for a week.

Her first painting, the Great American Bubble Machine is amazing. I can't wait to see the other eight paintings.
