Icelandic Meltdown


Last weekend our friend from Iceland came into the city for a show. His art work represented his belief that everything is being destroyed soon after its moment of creation.

"Or even before that." Gutjon wasn't sure when the cycle of chaos began or ended, however his native Iceland has won the undesirable title of first nation to go bust in this global financial debacle.

The national debt is $30,000 per capita. The Kroner lost half its value. Banks went bust. The SE shut down. ATMs froze.

Everything was fucked.

Djofull or Damn.

Gutjon responded to the crisis by drinking in true Viking style.

Early and often.

Guess it's back to fishing.

Watch out you whales.
