Culver City Séance Generates Unique Portrait
Jeffrey Valance (pictured), a visiting professor in new genres at UCLA, shares in the pages of UK’s Fortean Times a most intriguing recent Culver City expedition.

The pair use a Ouija board and specially configured art tools to collaborate with ghosts on paintings, drawings and sculptures. The famous spirits they claim to have connected with include Walt Disney, Norman Rockwell and Gertrude Stein, but in this particular case, the individual whose semi-self-portrait was minted boasted a more modest pedigree.
