96 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 5.16 ARTS RESIDENCE IN Here are the top fve titles checked out from the Louisville Free Public Library so far this year. (On May 14, the downtown location will host the ffth- annual How-To Festival, where you can learn to milk a cow, hula-hoop, eat with chopsticks, do a simple car repair, "age gracefully" and, oh, 100 other things.) READING LIST WATCH LIST The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins Rogue Lawyer, by John Grisham The Crossing, by Serita Jakes See Me, by Nicholas Sparks Tricky Twenty-Two: A Stephanie Plum Novel, by Janet Evanovich Zoetic B-Sides, by Kaleidico The cover image for Kaleidico's four- track EP is a metaphorical nod to the group itself. Justin Chodyniecki, one of the indie-pop band's three members and also the source of all Kaleidico artwork, drew the abstract images, then collaged digitally. The focal point — a face with an open mouth and two protruding hands — is a reference to bandmate Matt Moore. "It symbolizes our music coming from his singular, cre- ative mind," Chodyniecki says. The oth- er two faces represent Chodyniecki and Evan Grulke, who "lend a hand" when Moore plays his music live. Chodyniecki says the tubular shapes illustrate "the cohesive yet chaotic processes that goes into practicing these songs. We all frequently switch instruments and trade parts." — KM "The Creature," acrylic painting by Adrian Wright Ten years ago, local tattoo and pyrography artist Lyndi Lou was in line to check out at former video store Wild and Woolly on Bardstown Road. Behind the counter was a large blue painting of the creature fr om The Creature from the Black Lagoon. She called the artist, Adrian Wright, on the spot to see if it was sold. It wasn't. "I super-love Universal Monsters," she says of the horror classics. That night she took home the painting, which still lurks am ong the oth- er pop-culture icons and eccentric oddities that fll her hom e studio in St. Matthews. Wright, whom she describes as a "country motorcycle dude," eventually taught her how to tattoo. "I did my apprenticeship with him," she says. "He goes in and fnds the base lines of an image. It' s not that they are simple. He just takes the most basic amount of bold lines you could possibly have and creates an image that's insanely recognizable." — Katie Molck COVER STORY Hotel Transylvania 2 (for free!)
