Canoe Lake (1997–98) is based on a still photograph that artist Peter Doig took from the 1980 horror film Friday the 13th, and he has made several paintings referencing this film. Always using photographic images as a compositional starting point, Doig’s paintings often have a strong sense of atmosphere or hidden presence. There is a tension between the potential for sublime beauty and the horror of death, decay and obliteration.
Photographed in the Tate Modern in London

Hey, Happy Friday the 13th! This photo of Dylan Egon’s latest wheatpaste Street Art, an image of Mickey Mouse done up as a gun target, was taken a few weeks back when I was trawling the steets of Willamsburg after a fun visit to see Kara Walker’s Sugar Sphinx at the Domno Sugar Factory. That was a good time.
Hey! it’s Friday the 13th this week — the only such occurrence in 2014! — and What makes it even more exciting is that Mercury is also Retrograde. So, your luck will be extra shitty! Just kidding! Who believes in all that stuff anyway? Hmmm… Fact: As many as twenty-one million people around the nation fear this date, causing an estimated $800 million in lost business dealings each time it occurs. Superstitious or not, everyone is aware whenever Friday the 13th approaches and tries to avoid being unlucky, so it’s no big surprise that real money slot machines don’t get played very much on these days, people prefer use the betfair bet credits online.
