A new apple painting:
Noah Scalin
from SkullADay was on the Martha Stewart show today, promoting his book Skulls! (of which I was one of the lucky winners drawn for the signed copy for my papercraft skull–see my previous post), which looks real nice from the glimpse we got on the show, showing off some of his Skull_A_Day creations, and making skull potoato stamps. Looks like a fun time was had by all. There’s more about his experience on his blog.
Can’t wait to get my copy of the book!
New Painting today–Wolf River
Went apple picking today, and this is one of the ones we brought back.
Sculpture is RUDE
Deborah Fisher explains why public sculpture is inherently rude, and argumentative, and why it’s good to challenge our “internal notion of reality”.
A sculpture is this essentially rude thing, whose sole purpose in life is to take up space. It should therefore be unsurprising that public sculpture is, more often than not, the site of outrageous conflict, and that the overwhelming response to that inescapable fact is generally to settle on the most numbingly bland public work possible.
Wreck this Journal Follow up–Finally
I’ve finally posted some pics of my wreck this journal project after 6 months.
I’ve made some good progress, and am about half through the journal. Check out my Wreck this Journal Gallery
My Skulladay Contest entry
I entered the papercraft punk rocker skull in Skull-A-DayPapercraft skull contest.
You have until this coming Sunday Oct 5 to enter also, and win a copy of the Skull-A-Day book SKULLS!
Duet
I think I’ve finally beat this one into submission.
The color’s a little off in this pic, I ‘ll try to get a better one, when the light’s better.
Jean Shin
Jean Shin turns trash into sculpture. Some amazing works, including the Sound Wave below, and others made of pill bottles, computer keyboard keys, etc.
Electronic Swatchbook
Need a pattern idea for something, a background for a scrapbook page or collage, or a webpage? Right here there’s thousands of them. All copyright free (in Australia–your mileage may vary, but it looks like most of them are old enough to be public domain, in the US, anyways). Here’s a couple of samples:
