Shai Coggins has just learned of a new planet from her 3 yr old son where the Kakadonks live.
Being the novice astronomer that I am, I found this planet and am posting it here.
It’s fairly bright colored, but I guess you’d have to read Shai’s post about it in order to get the full picture.

Probably the most effective art tool in my arsenal is my music.
Today, it seems I’m in a particular mood.
Black = winamp/itunes
pink = windows media
Draw.
Then email an image of your creations to me.
We’ll put together a posted show based off of this music if you can handle it.
Warning: may cause epileptic attack or visions of Mario and Luigi dancing to a syncopated rhythm.
Oh, and if you are interested in who this is…

Okay, I’ve gotten a little hung up on getting my wacom tablet, but Amazon came to the conclusion that it was lost in the mail somewhere, so they are replacing it.
Meanwhile, I’ve been refining my comic plan over the last week, and here is the first installment albeit completely drawn with a mouse instead of a tablet like I hoped.
Anyway, the comic will be a regular feature here eventually.

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 for learning more about particular artists and art forms as well as a few other tidbits of great information.
Here’s a few particular links I found interesting at Lines and Colors today:

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.
Oh yeah, this is actual size stonehenge.
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 your project. Granted, this is a pretty loose judgement, but it seems to work for me.
The color scheme above is entitled Fire Flower, based off of the colors of the following image I took while on vacation earlier this year.
I haven’t worked out how …read more

Backwoods Fest 2007
Jay Risner, pictured here with two of his sculpted vultures, took some time to talk with me today about
his sculptures at the Backwoods Fest in Thornville, OH.
Now craft shows/art markets are more than just a place to go to showcase your work, they also can serve as inspiration and help you innovate your own methods by checking out what other people are using that work for certain effects.
Even though we spoke only briefly, Jay was more than happy to talk about his work and share some great insights into the work he does.

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 least I like to think that I would.
But here’s why I would do it. Sculptures seem to reach out into our three dimensional space and pull us bodily into the work.
So, what would you try?
