Saturday, April 26, 2008 Collaborative Art Projects
Collaborative art projects can throw up some fascinating works. www.lookatbook.com is one of them. 4 artists have filled a sketch book with their own works, filling a double page spread then sending the book to the next artist. A little bit of the previous page always spills onto the next one. Apparently the 4 artists involved never talked to each other and the book travelled 60000 miles before it was complete. Fascinating stuff.
Thursday, April 17, 2008 Art on Cars
Not talking about shiny paint jobs here either. The Dirty Car Art Gallery exhibits the work of Scott Wade who generates fantastic images in the dust and dirt on cars. Sounds mad, but have a look at the gallery on his site. The original work might be impermanent, but at least we've got photography to keep a record of it. I love it when artists think outside the box like this, so to speak.

One of the bloggers I read regularly as part of my day job has a fun guest post on 27 thoughts for blogging artists. It might be worth a look if you too happen to be both blogger and artist. Or either. Or neither...
Thoughts for a blogging artist Friday, April 11, 2008 Invest in Scottish Art  The owner of Artistri contacted me a year ago and I've only just seen the email whilst clearing out my inbox (I don't do it very often). Anyway, Artistri is a site promoting the artworks of graduate artists in Scotland. The site has an extremely high quality of work on display and the prices are very affordable. If yo uare looking for some original artwork to brighten your home, this is a great place to start, and you never know, the artist you buy from might just be the next big thing. www.artistri.co.uk Tuesday, April 08, 2008 Create Your Own Picasso

Who am I? I'm Adam Christie. I love looking at art, all types of art. I comment on it in my own way. I despair at art snobbery. There is no need for it. Occasionally I even pick up a brush myself, despite not having an art degree! That's a hanging offence in some art circles.
This blog is just a bit about the art I come across on my travels and maybe some stuff about my own painting experiences. Hope you find it useful. Contact me! Text Link Ads script error: local_90713.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_90713.xml. |
