O6 Danielle Abrams Assistant Professor, School tofArt & Design Which works of art influenced you the most? "Bliz-aard Ball Sale" by David Hammons: In New York, there's a lot of street sellers, particularly in more of the working class neighborhoods. I'm not sure what neighborhood exactly, but it was a place where you'd expect to see street sellers, and (Hammons) sold beautifully constructed snowballs (as a street performer). Anything John Waters: I love "Polyester" and "Pink Flamingos." When I first started making art, I realized, wow, I could really make work about raunchy stuff, and it could have a lot of meaning. The things in society that people all do, and all know about and talk about - but it has become taboo in high culture. "Flesh," "Trash" and "Heat" by Paul Morrissey and Andy Warhol: For very personal reasons. I grew up in the early '70s in New York - there were junkies on the street. Their existence was a response to the crisis we were hav- ing. I love the way Warhol and Paul Morrissey made these films (about that). Usually you can rent these in the cult sections. "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" by Tom Wolfe: I'm interested in the underbelly of culture. What happens when you scratch off the veneer of cleanli- ness? Purity. And you get to something that's really about the crust: the banal. Fluevog Shoes: Designed in Vancouver - Fluevog shoes are very clunky and they're very industrial, sort of a post-punk. Yeah, you should look them up online. TRAILER REVIEW INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Here's hoping World War II movie fatigue hasn't set in yet, because Quentin Tarantino is about to get his gory hands on the genre. His take on Nazi-killing is exactly what one would expect: lots of gunfire, goofy speeches and guys with swastika tattoos on their foreheads. And Brad Pitt in a Clark Gable mustache screaming for Nazi skulls. This movie is going to make John Wayne turn over in his grave - and that's a good thing.

Every so often a challenging and gargantuan boss will appear and you'll be forced to be careful with your attacks, timing fast punches with slower, stronger kicks.
