^that's very true! always have some discussion here about factory girl.. it's getting boring. i mean, some people like it, some people don't. why discuss it all over again?
 
Oooh, Caty, I like the four of Edie on the post-it notes. Very cute. I'd definitely buy those. Even if they weren't Edie, they're just very cool-looking.

Good finds!
 
Loonaka you're sketches are amazing! I like the way she's posing in the first one.

Caty_conte thanks for all the art! It's all very interesting!
 
More cool art!

Glad you are enjoying the art.

Here is more that is really unique. This was made by an artist on the Edie community on www.livejournal.com

Benjamin Anders - I LOVE:heart: THOSE EDIE CARTOONS. They are adorable. And what a fab idea....a comic book about Edie. You know we'd buy it!!:p
 
Benjamin Anders I LOVE those! It would be so great to see a webcomic using that character.
 
Edie reincarnated as Cat???

Here is a strange and funny thing I found on the web at www.productiongray.com/Edie2007.html. It is an artistic guy claiming (or possibly just joking--surely!) that his black cat is the reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick. He has put together a boxed set of items for $450.00.:lol:

Here is what is says:

Synopsis:The Reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick is my cat Edie.This work is a homage to Edie Sedgwick. She was a model and one of Andy Warhol’s superstars from the late 1960s. She redefined fashion in Vogue magazine and starred in many experimental films by Warhol including Vinyl, Poor Little Rich Girl, Kitchen, and Beauty no. 2. In 1968/69 she accompanied Andy to openings and art happenings in NYC and they were considered the glamorous couple that represented the underground American Pop Art scene. She wore silver vinyl dresses, dyed her hair silver to match Andy’s, and spent most of her time in Warhol’s iconic studio, The Factory.

The intro pages and the artist’s book
The first elements of this bookwork are the intro page welcoming the viewer to the multi-media box set and the promo poster for the remastered deluxe set. Underneath these pages is a silver foil construction that is reflective of the walls in Warhol’s studio, The factory.

The first piece is the artist’s book The Reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick, which is the basis for all the other works in this deluxe set. The artist’s book, that is written like a play, recounts a dream sequence of Edie the reincarnated cat. She falls asleep one afternoon and relives one day from her past life. The silver vinyl cover page is reminiscent of the iconic silver dress Edie wore to many of Warhols’ openings and the mirrored pages reflective like a black and white projected film on a silver screen.

The audio cd
The second element is an audio cd. The first track is a sound recording of artists acting out the roles in the book. The Second cut is an original song written by the accomplished musicain Annabelle Chovostic specifically for this project. I wanted a soundtrack that captured the unique sound of the Warhol produced rock band the Velvet Underground.

The dvd
Beneath the audio cd is the The Remastered Reincarnation of Edie Sedgwick The DVD. The only image on the video screen is that of Edie the cat sleeping with an audio track of the text from the book. It works on two different levels: one being that the story is of Edie the cat dreaming of her past life and that the image of Edie sleeping bring us back to the film Sleep by Andy Warhol.

The players artist’s book
The final book, under the dvd, is entitled The Players. It is a loose leaf artist’s book picturing all of the artist’s who’s voices appear on or the technicians that helped with the recording of the DVD and the audio cd. This artist’s book has to be opened with a pair of scissors. The mylar packaging reminds us of Andy Warhol’s famous installation, Silver Flotations, of floating silver helium-filled balloons at the Leo Castelli Gallery in 1966 and the images in this book are the only vibrant colours in this box set; they become a hidden gem reflective of warhol’s silkscreened portraits.

The colphon
In the cover of the metal box is a cylidical silver tube containing the colphon for this box set. It is sign and number 1/15 to 15/15 by the artist and has the paw print approval of Edie Sedwick the reincarnated black cat!
