my pictures are far superior in color and detail, I spend less time trying to take good photos and manipulating them and more time for everything else…. Take a look at these two photos, one from my old camera and one from my new one – spot the difference?… I am sketching like crazy at the moment, it’s a great way to hold the withdrawal pains at bay and I am getting new ideas for paintings.
The Sculptr Blog has presented a great review of my blog and work, go here to read it. Thanks guys! The added bonus is that Jennie has also listed some great work on our site.
A story receiving less press than the Texas teacher scandal is another in New York of an art Teacher who is currently suspended and may be fired after recommending to some of his advanced students that they take life drawing classes…. In December 2005 Mr. Panse was suspended from his job for recommending that some of his advanced students consider taking figure drawing courses that included nude figure drawings…. no matter what relationship the artist and model may have outside the studio there is a magic that happens when the model adopts the pose that turns them into a breathing still life.
For Carsten Höller, the experience of sliding is best summed up in a phrase by the French writer Roger Caillois as a ‘voluptuous panic upon an otherwise lucid mind’…. What interests Höller, however, is both the visual spectacle of watching people sliding and the ‘inner spectacle’ experienced by the sliders themselves, the state of simultaneous delight and anxiety that you enter as you descend. for the full article, interviews, more photos and visiting information visit the Tate website here It sounds like awesome fun, I’m sure it is a visual and sensory experience, but who says that art can’t be fun?
Gallery services like Sculptr and Boundless serve to elevate the nature on online art sales and demystify the art collecting process for many. I personally really like selling online, it makes sense given my online experience and physical weaknesses, it is also a great way to tap into international markets…. The photos of my latest works have been taken with my new camera which I love – I will post more on that later.
Well, the teacher getting fired over the field trip is bigger art news than the Klimt sale now I think….

quick pictures, songs – random snippets into my mind and what inspires me during the dark times. This song is from Little Women, which is surprisingly good, eclipsed by other musicals in the time of it’s release but this song really speaks to me…. There’s a life That I am meant to lead A life like nothing I have known I can feel it And it’s far from here I’ve got to find it on my own Even now I feel it’s heat upon my skin.
so enjoy!Like Paper The concept emerges and the finished resultThe first image is my interpretation of ‘street’ I am particularly, um, pleased I guess, at how it turned out, it communicates the horror of our accident very well.Expressionion of PainThis is what happens when you are depressed and painting…. I don’t know why, since I progressed to more contemporary styles I have felt that my work has exploded into a whole new dimension and I don’t really want to look backwards…. you don’t know when it will hit or how, you don’t know why it happens and I don’t think you can force it, it just has to happen.
it is hard to let your inner self take over, to let something personal come out like that…. My works are often quite personal, but slightly superficial, not that deep because I am afraid to let it all out – how do I show it?… I will lie there and watch my pencil – it moves on it’s own, I am completely detached, watching it fly across the page, and the things that come out surprise me.
As you know, for the last show I didn’t post my images and my thoughts on them, hoping to create an air of mystery or something….. did you miss my usual rants and musings about pieces that will be in the show?… anyway, I’ve created a poll on my Boundless website you can visit here.
