While I grant that not all public art is liked or understood by everyone, the tenor of this article at the herald-sun is that all arts funding is a waste and that the programs should be scrapped. The arts are seeing an all time high in funding at the moment and I think it is…
I was hoping to have a render finished, but it was taking way too long! So here is a quick iPad sketch created in my current favorite program Asketch. I love this program, not just for the easy procedural drawing, but the lovely feeling and simple, non distracting interface. I love working in it!
Pylons, those pillars Bare like nude, giant girls that have no secret.
What goes up must come down. It is a law of physics, and of economy. While many are looking at the recent succeeds at Christies and Sotheby’s as the best art sales we’ve seen, others are seeing it as the beginning of the end for the arts market. Personally, I see it as possibly the…
