Jim Riswold vs WWI
November 2, 2011
Jim Riswold recently spent more than his fair share of days in the ICU at OHSU. He cheered himself up by reading about the carnage of World War I, The War to End All Wars. He learned The War to End All Wars Didn’t End All Wars. So, he did an art show about it. Be one of the first to see the fruits of his labor.
Portland, swing by Augen Gallery tonight and check out Jim Riswold’s latest show, “The War To End All Wars That Fucked Up And Didn’t End All Wars”. And if you can’t make it tonight, the show will be up until November 26th. 716 N.W. Davis Portland, OR 97209.

Ayrton Senna
October 23, 2011
Last Friday, I watched Asif Kapadia’s film about 3-time Formula One world champion, Ayrton Senna. I’ll be the first to admit, I know very little about Formula One, but the film, Senna, isn’t just about Formula One. It’s a film about the life sacrifices of a competitor (and his love for racing) trying to be the best at his craft.
Senna will appeal to almost anyone. Even those with just a little bit of racing knowledge. It gives the viewers an intimate look at Aryton’s career—beginning with his early days as a cart-racer and eventually leading into his career in Formula One.
After watching the film, I gained a new appreciation for anyone willing to get behind the wheel and drive way beyond the safety threshold of most normal human beings. Taking a turn at a 100+mph may look like a lot of fun, but I don’t think could ever do it.
Above are few photos of Senna’s time driving for Mclaren, a partnership that would bring him 3 Formula One world titles. If the film is playing in a theater near you, definitley check it out.
