What’s art mean to you? The Progressive Guest Post Contest.

I’ve been curious about doing a contest around here for awhile, but I hate the concept of judging a contest, so I decided to open it up and let readers be the judge through the comments.
It’s progressive because I figure, the more page views, the better the prize will be (because I get paid for […]

Concept Art

I think half of my sketchbook sometimes is what I’d consider “Concept Art”. What it really is is probably something more similar to many varied doodles or half-finished ideas that never came into being.
But it can also be a valuable tool when you are stretched for a new work.
Pull out the sketchbooks and glance […]

Illusion Experience.

This has been circling in emails for awhile now as a forward. I think there is a value to just viewing and analyzing certain things about it though.

Featured Artist: Michael Story

When I first looked at the paintings by artist Michael Story in an email he sent me, I thought they were photoshopped landscape photographs.

Artist Submission - Kids count too.

Dexie, a fellow blogger over at www.sheknowsbest.com - Lifestyle Tips for Guys, who featured me last week (as per my wife’s submission) wrote in and was curious if her 9 year old son qualified as an artist?
