http://pitchfork.com/news/34432-meet-dead-mans-bones-ryan-gosling-and-zach-shields/ Pictured: Zach Shields, Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, Ryan Gosling An Oscar-nominated Hollywood heartthrob and his best friend round up a bunch of instruments-- some of which they don't know how to play-- and a massive children's choir and make a concept album about the supernatural.

Porcelain Fighting Figures Dropped And Photographed The Moment Of Shattering | BOOSHBEN.COM

http://www.booshben.com/2012/02/29/porcelain-fighting-figures-dropped-and-photographed-the-moment-of-shattering/ Posted: 29th February 2012 by admin in Bizarre This is a series of photographs by German artist Martin Klimas of a bunch of porcelain fighting figures the moment of impact after being dropped (the sound of the crash sets off the camera). It makes it look like the little figures are really kicking each other’s asses. But they’re not, they’re just breaking on the floor. Or ARE they? I think I heard one scream .

How To Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon

Mar 01 by Rachel Meeks Pink blossoms will soon appear on trees, and the National Cherry Blossom Festival starts on March 20. In 1912 the city of Tokyo, Japan, gave Washington, D.C., a beautiful gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees.

Posted by Ray | 1 Jun 2011 | Comments (0) Shulamith Koenig is perhaps best known for her activism as the founding president of PDHRE , the People's Movement for Human Rights Learning (formerly known as the People's Decade for Human Rights Education), which she founded in 1989. Yet at some point between her two-decade career as an industrial engineer (with a focus on water conservation) and her ongoing human rights activism, Koenig found time to create a fascinating (and largely overlooked, if Google is any indication) body of work as a sculptor. Aesthetically, the work falls somewhere between David Smith and Louise Nevelson—the reference points are perhaps inescapable, insofar as Koenig assembles largely abstract forms out of found objects—but there is another, less obvious meaning to her sculptural forms. In 1982, in an old farm in upstate New York, Shulamith Koenig found a trove of foundry wooden patterns and molds, hand carved by artists over a century ago.

http://lackadaisy.foxprints.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=333 Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah!

One of these days I'm going to have some new art to post here, I really am. As soon as I get a million other things done. In the meantime, here are some miscellaneous things: 1. The Downtown Art Walk last week was a lot of fun once again. This time I walked around a bit more and spent some time perusing some of the galleries, and I realized just how absurdly out of place my illustrations are amidst most of the other work.
