The Lafayette Building in downtown Detroit is about to get demolished. A lot of art (or not) will, unfortunately, have to go down with it. See for yourself. Is this stuff worth keeping around? If yes, then at what cost?

Loading ...A fellow Midwesterner Bill Hall is rediscovering a latent talent later in life. Original story by the Des Moines Register. I guess it’s never too late to start doodling, and get in touch with your inner artist! Way to go, Bill!
“He joined the Army, went to college, then got a master’s degree, became a partner in one of America’s most successful accounting firms, wrote a book on ethics in business and, a couple of years ago, moved to Iowa to be near his son.”

Swine flu, SARS, and HIV virus sculptures up close. Eww…
So? Art or not? What’s the verdict?

A recent Mirror article covered “artistic cycling” which reminds me of figure skating, on bikes! It’s an activity that seems to be somewhat popular in Asia. I wouldn’t call this a type of art per se, but you be the judge. The video below is very relevant, showing an artistic cycling performance from the tenth annual Asian Indoor Cycling Championship. Two guys, two bikes, and a lot of riding around. Cool? Yes. Artistic? I don’t think so…
Some pictures of indoor artistic cycling here:

(2 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...One of the most powerful emerging trends in the world of art today, is so called “visionary art,” which is often created under the influence of various controlled substances. We have done one or two posts on the subject in the past, concentrating previously on the use of the Salvia Divinorum herb while painting, performing music, and the like. Ayahuasca is an ancient “medicine” plant grown and consumed in the Amazon (if I understand correctly), which I have personally never tried, but heard real good things about from other people. It has a variety of interesting uses.
This plant is so popular, or becoming popular, rather, that it even has its own website! Check out Ayahuasca.com for more information on this.
Also, here are a few of example of artwork produced “under the influence” of Ayahuasca. The artist, and painter, is Pablo Amaringo, who passed away this past November. He will be dearly missed.
