Harder Art - Blacksmithing and David Norrie

To take iron and steel and form it into a a flowing beautiful work of art is one thing that just makes me question the authenticity of my own work at times.
I recently came upon the work of David Norrie. Bridging that gap between efficient design and fine art are craftsmen like David who take […]

JD Hillberry: Monochromatic Renderings

J.D. Hillberry submitted some of his renderings to me last week. These are pretty impressive to say the least, but to get a fuller picture of the scope of his work, check out www.jdhillberry.com
J.D. also has quite a few tutorials on his site on How to Draw that I’d highly recommend.
Artist’s Statement:

“Like most […]

Featured Artist: Masters Glass Art

One media and form of art that continually amazes me, particularly because of it’s constant and enduring state is glass.
Glass is one of those medias that I’ve never been able to try myself, but I believe is one of the most subtle and enchanting forms of art. It can take the form […]

Zlatko Vasic: organic illustration

I opened up my inbox today to find attachments of the art of Zlatko Vasic (does anyone know a good online Swedish to English translator?), a Swedish artist.
There is an organic quality to his works that is anatomical, yet strangely surreal. Movement is present, but exists within a grotesque arena where flesh is peeled […]

A thousand sketches in one year on a Tablet PC by Walter Logeman

I’ve been watching Walter’s site for the last month or so and have been really impressed. In fact, it’s made me want a tablet pc.
It’s a project to create 1000 sketches in a year on a tablet pc. So far, he’s at 404. Pretty good if you ask me. His […]

Featured Artist: Roman Gumanyuk

Today I was pleasantly surprised with my inbox. Artist, Roman Gumanyuk, had emailed and had asked to show some of his work here. Initially, I am always skeptical when an artist sends more than five works at any given time. Then again, that was until I scrolled down a little and beheld […]

A look at the world of O’Keefe

Born to humble dairy farmers, Georgia O’Keefe is famous for her sexualized flower portraits and her view of the western culture of America.
Her marriage to photographer Alfred Stieglitz was the element that catapulted her to widespread recognition as a serious artist. Though a very exceptional artist, she did represent a unique artistic genre to the […]

Linda Blondheim: Impressionism is alive and well.

Linda Blondheim recently sent me a painting that she did entitled “Town and Country Farm” (14×18 inches, oil on canvas)
My first look at it reminded me of impressionist artists. I half expected to see some ladies in the background with umbrellas…lol. My next thought was that it was a retouched photograph with a […]
