Getting ready for oils.

Over the last few weeks, I have been kinda sparse around here.  But it’s not because I completely forgot how to type suddenly. Rather, it’s because I am just doing a lot more artwork, mainly cartooning as evidenced by a cartoon I did (then decided against putting up on my personal site) to the […]

How to create your own stonehenge.

I stumbled on this video earlier this morning and impressed with the sheer magnitude of the blocks being moved.  If creating huge installation work is something that you always wanted to try to do, this guy will show you how to do it.

The Death of Leonardo, Cow Tippers beware!

My new little gadget for my iGoogle homepage informed me:

“Artist Leonardo da Vinci died at Cloux, France” on this day in history.

Art Takes Deadly Turn

I was reminded once again today that art takes many turns. Sometimes people create things for either protection or to harm others.
The exhibit “The Art of the Shiv” shows different Shivs created by inmates from everyday materials. This image is an unbreakable comb with razor blades inserted to make a knife akin […]

Rembrandt has Warts!

I just received my issue of Smithsonian today and was pleasantly surprised with a great article of Rembrandt. If you happen to be waiting in a doctors office in the next few days you might want to check it out. Other than that, we don’t keep the heat on down here at the […]

Art Theft - Lost and Found

I’ve been thinking about this the last few days and have come to the conclusion that one of my favorite paintings was one that was stolen in 1990 from the Gardner Museum entitled “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” by Rembrandt.
Maybe it’s because Rembrandt and I share the same birthday, July 15, or because I […]

If you are tired of store bought paints…make your own.

Being the inquisitive sort of person I am, I recently began researching how oil paints are made. Many of the “old masters” such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, DaVinci all made their own paints. So, how hard could this process be?
