This and That
Friday - October 27, 2006
I finally uploaded some more work...It's a little eclectic! You've seen some of them already. The first paintings are for a series I'm doing. They are mixed media combining, acrylic, silkscreen, collage, spray paint, this and that, anything I can find. The other paintings are studies done in oil. I've been painting alot of fruit lately for practice. I'm trying not to limit myself to just one style - instead I'm doing alot of experimentation. Enjoy!

Paint a Pollock
Friday - October 27, 2006
This is one of the coolest websites. Now everyone can paint like Pollock! (Minus the barn and the booze) I'm not really sure how they did this...

Sucker-Punched Picasso
Tuesday -October 24, 2006
Casino mogul/art collector Steve Wynn accidentally smacked up Picasso's famous painting "The Dream" recently. Marie-Theresa Walter (Picasso's 21 year old mistress and subject of the painting) was at the bad end of an elbow, when Wynn accidentally elbowed the painting while putting his arm down. He didn't give her a fat lip or anything but he did leave a hole in the painting the size of a silver dollar! Wynn apparently suffers an eye condition that affects his vision. The painting would have been sold for the largest amount ever paid for a painting - a whopping $139 million! I just hope he never head-butts the Mona Lisa.


Lucy in the Sky with Drawings
Thursday - October 5, 2006
In the 1950's, the US Government did a series of tests on people by giving them doses of LSD. They wanted to study the effects of the hallucinogen. In one test, they gave LSD to an artist and recommended that he draw! As you can guess, the results were pretty hilarious. The doctors supplied the artist with pencils, crayons, charcoal, etc. This is the first drawing...

First drawing is done 20 minutes after the first dose (50ug).

An attending doctor observes - Patient chooses to start drawing with charcoal.

The subject of the experiment reports - 'Condition normal... no effect from the drug yet'.

Cow in Formaldehyde for Rent
Monday - October 2, 2006
Charles Saatchi is renting out a selection of 600 works from his art collection. The advertising and art collecting giant is loaning artwork from £7,000 a year for five works to £20,000 for 20 works. He's offering work by contemporary artists like Chris Ofili, the Chapman Brothers, Damien Hirst, Stella Vine, Tom Hunter, Gary Hume, and Gavin Turk. As if Saatchi doesn't have enough money as it is. This is just another way for Saatchi to make another buck. As a side note, I'm pretty sure Guiliani won't be renting any of Chris Ofili's art...
