deCloned: creativity for life

I try not to do this kind of thing too much, but I have recently re-launched my personal blog with a new focus.
deCloned: creativity for life - utilizing your imagination in day to day living.
In writing here at Artist Hideout, I’ve found that my interests are more broad than just tackling art and creating art.  […]

September Showcase - Arts and Design

Many Artists usually battle any kind of organizing types of responsibilities.  I know I am like this.  Piles of papers can at times line the edges of my desk and a more than elaborate network of chores and todos can be posted in non-linear fashion within my mind at any one time.  However, I have […]

Lines and Colors…

I guess it’s been around awhile, but I only just found it via Dan over at www.EmptyEasel.com (by the way Dan, I love the new design…  I didn’t catch it when you put it up because I read your feed, but nice job).
The art blog www.linesandcolors.com had recently caught my eye as a great resource […]

How to make great color schemes for your blog, website, or project.

Awhile back I got some good feedback on an post I did about creating a logo for your blog.
But I failed to mention color schemes in the process. 
I have found the following to be a pretty good standard for colors.  If the colors appear together in nature, then they will work visually for […]

If you had to try a new art form and had unlimited resources to do it, what would you try?

Here’s what I would try (to do more of anyway).
Sculpting.
Sculpting is messy work. 
There is a reason I shy away from sculpting.  It’s expensive, it’s really time consuming, it takes up a lot of space and well…. it’s messy.
Not that I wouldn’t do more if I had the resources, I think I would.  Or at […]

25 Art Forms to try and Artists who already use them.

There’s a lot of different art forms, medias and types of art that are used everyday. Many people pretty much stick to one or two during the course of their painting life, but I would challenge you to pick up a few more and try them before you settle on just a few choices.
So […]

Taking the plunge…. on buying a graphics tablet.

I’ve been thinking about this for some time. And well, tonight finally decided to do it.
After reading probably at least half of the 91 reviews of the Intuos3 Wacom pen tablet and seeing the amazing amount of great feedback that this product is generating, I am taking the plunge.
With the average feedback being […]

Is Good Design Art?

Over the last few months, I’ve been in discussion with Brian (AKA DT, or Design Translator), over at Design Sojourn particularly over the issue of the difference between art and design, and how they interplay and work with each other in good design and good art.
Not only is DT a great designer (and actually […]

Cave Painting (AKA my first attempt at a vodcast)

 

Cave Paintings have always fascinated me. Most art books start out with talking about cave paintings as the origin of art. I figured it would be fun to do as a first vodcast. This one is a little short, but if all works well (second time posting this) I’ll do a longer (this one […]

Let Google Sell your Painting for You

I’ve become a little frustrated by the ebay scene as of late. Sure, you can sell your art via ebay, promote them on your blog and let the buyers bid them up. But what if the item doesn’t sell? How will you distinguish your item from the rest out there?
I think this […]
