TV

    As you saw here on Screened earlier in the day, Dick Wolf has officially declared Law & Order dead and buried. But with so many spin-offs and an astounding twenty seasons of stories it is by no means dead in our hearts, let alone the nation's art community. Case in point, artist Brandon Bird recently curated a show at Los Angeles' Gallery Meltdown called "These Are Their Stories" featuring Law & Order-themed work from a plethora of artists whose inspiration was the single-line episode synopses from DirecTV's listings for that show. The results, whether painted, sketched, photographed, stitched or sculpted, were pure magic. 

This show unfortunately closed Friday, July 30, but reminded me strongly of the Crazy 4 Cult collection from a couple months ago. If you're like me and didn't make it because you accidentally washed your tux with the whites and lost your platinum credit cards while frolicking merrily in the vineyards, don't worry, I've collected much of the artwork in a gallery below for your perusal. Check here to see which piece corresponds to which one-line synopsis.

There is a lack of orange jumpsuits and Rikers.

is that sopranos vs law and order

nice.

There is some seriously creative people out there.

I was about to ask what the hell some of the stranger ones were, and then saw the link to the list. Some of these things are surreal.

Let's Eat Each Other Out (Tonight) is probably my favorite album to use to set a romantic mood.

Awesomeness, looks great

Generic comment made for the sake of completing a quest/achievement.  I could really care less about this story.
