Clever Pictogram Images Show the Values We All Live By. If you could boil down the values we all live by into simple, easy to understand images, what would that look like?
London-based designer Genis Carreras's latest series answers this very question. Carreras first came under our radar with his Philographics project, where he took complicated philosophical theories, like Existentialism and Idealism, and turned them into simple shapes. Philographics became UK's most funded graphic design project ever on Kickstarter, earning £65,217, which was well over its goal of £15,000. Now, Carreras plays with the art of pictograms, turning universal values like Love, Creativity, Curiosity and Friendship into cleverly designed cards.
The Values deck is a set of cards that makes visible the invisible drivers of human behavior. Carreras created the series in collaboration with the Public Interest Research Centre (PIRC). You can read more about this project over on Kickstarter. Now, courtesy of the designer, here's a sample of the series. Always Be An Emerging Artist: Tal R: The Shlomo.

The answer is this: The oil vehicle has been modified to make it soluble in water, eliminating the necessity for turpentine or other dangerous solvents to thin paint and clean brushes and other supplies.
There are still some painting purists who question whether or not these pigments are true oils, but I assure you they are. In fact, I have been successfully executing my paintings using water soluble oils with professional results for over 10 years. I made the smooth transition from acrylics to the new oils in my home studio so my family and pets were not exposed to toxic fumes. With an open mind and a little time experimenting, you might also enjoy the benefits of water soluble oils. TAL R with Phong Bui. The morning after the opening reception of his recent exhibit Tal R: Altstadt Girl at Cheim & Read (January 15 – February 14, 2015) the artist Tal R welcomed Rail Publisher Phong Bui to the lobby of Bowery Hotel (where he was staying, and just hours before returning to his home and studio in Copenhagen, Denmark) to talk about his life and work.
Portrait of the artist. Pencil on paper by Phong Bui. Inspired by a photograph by Taylor Dafoe. Present-past-and-future-irving-petlin. Guest contributor Eileen Jeng / The exhibition "The Still Open Case of Irving Petlin: From the Years 1960 to 2012" at Kent Fine Art comprised a selection of the artist’s paintings and pastel drawings spanning over five decades.
After World War II, Petlin moved away from the bold aesthetic sensibilities of the Chicago Imagists and the Monster Roster, which included an older generation of Chicago artists such as Leon Golub and Nancy Spero, towards a more surrealist approach. Exploring Famous Unfinished Paintings in Google Art Project. I have been writing about looking slowly, taking the time to see the visual world.
My first column was about a Mondrian painting, and it included some closeups made with a special macro lens. After that, I turned to the question of boredom (are artists ever bored by what they make?) And the strange fact that we miss even enormous, spectacular things in our visual world because we're in such a hurry to get where we're going. Starting this month, I am going to explore the new Google Art Project site, which has some of the most detailed scans of paintings ever made.
As the New York Times observed, it's a work in progress, and only a dozen paintings are uploaded in extreme detail. My question this month is: How does an artist know when a painting is finished? This used to be a simple problem: when the artist had filled in the blanks, she was done. Sony RX100 III. La concurrence se devait de réagir, mais force est de constater que les réactions se font toujours attendre.
Sony en profite pour enfoncer le clou avec une version Mark III doté de séduisantes nouveautés. On s'est probablement dit en interne chez Sony qu'on ne change pas une équipe qui gagne. Le RX100 Mark III reprend presque trait pour trait les lignes des RX100 et RX100 Mark II qui, au passage, restent au catalogue afin de créer une véritable gamme "bien homogène" de compacts à capteur 1".
