not surprised

Your Result: Artistic Nerd Whether it’s painting, sewing, drawing, arts and crafts; or just splashing paint onto a canvas and calling it art; you mostly fit this description. Lots of people envy the artists, but be humble and keep working on it. There is a shortage of true artists today who actually contribute anything to society.Musician Literature Nerd Drama Nerd Gamer/Computer Nerd Anime Nerd Social Nerd Science/Math Nerd What Be Your Nerd Type?Quizzes for MySpaceI knew I was doomed when I wanted to change the incorrect spelling of artist’s names in one question – and that wasn’t even the topic!

Our refrigerator door is currently accepting your artwork, personal essays, short fiction, and poetry for submission…. We want people to come away from our refrigerator door feeling invigorated and alive, as if they had just learned something about themselves and/or the world that heretofore they had not….

Inspiration – Astonishing

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.

Bawdily Fluids

New York Blade Online: WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC CONTENT AND DEPICTIONS THAT MAY DISTURB. Signs such as this are plastered all over P.S.1 Art Center’s exhibit “Into Me/Out of Me” in this MoMA-affiliated museum in Queens. Curated by Klaus Biesenbach, it’s an audacious, exhilarating and occasionally nauseating group show, whose theme is all of what passes into and out of the human body.

Storage

My studio space is quite small. I chose it for the light not the size! but Queer Eye has come to the rescue yet again. Yes its a re-run but they always have great ideas! this one is so simple I can get Liam to do it easily 🙂 screw eyes with art wire stretched…

A Shag Reference in the Simpsons?

The Simpsons have been responsible for many notable artwork references over the years, Several are quite fabulous but this is the first time that I have noticed a reference to a current contemporary artist…. This screen grab from the episode “All’s Fair in Oven War” seems to be a pretty strong reference to the artwork of Shag. Shag’s work is quite iconographic and strongly reminiscent of the design styles of the 60s and 70s.

“Artstar” is an eight-week reality-TV series in which eight artists, age 22 to 67, vie for an exhibition at a popular New York gallery. All involved should be ashamed of themselves, but, hey, dude, it’s, like, a new age and, basically, here’s something amazing that will resonate, totally and absolutely.From the Chicago TribuneI was wondering when they would come up with this….. I would love to go on something like this actually, I always wonder how pwoplw know when a reality show is casting and how to apply, especially with a new reality show.I admit I am slightly addicted to The Amazing Race, America’s Next Top Model and Project Runway.

Luck Rolls again

Shiny!

I am now the proud owner of a shiny new disabled parking permit. The process was much less painful than I thought it would be – the biggest hassle was getting ahold of the permit officer to answer her verification questions (ahh phone tag..). I am inordinately pleased, it will make a big difference to…
