Sorry everyone. My sincerest apologies!

The site has been DEAD for MONTHS due to various issues in my personal life, but it’s about to zoom back up, with a vengeance!

So, if you’ve all got some cool artonot you want to see posted and reviewed here, Please send us links, images, and comments, and we will have a look at your artwork :-) Really can’t wait to put up some more updates!

Thanks!

Lawn Graphics. Art or Not?

Posted in art on June 5th, 2009 by admin – 4 Comments

The latest summer fad sweeping homes and neighborhoods all over the nation.

Someone thought it would be cute to spray paint the grass in front of your house and charge you money for it. I hope this stuff washes off without having to replant the front yard…

Crop circles – spooky, but artsy too!

Posted in art on June 2nd, 2009 by admin – 3 Comments

Crop circle making has got to be some of the weirdest art in the world. But art it is, at least in our opinion. Today, the Telegraph ran a story about the first ever jellyfish-looking crop circle found in Oxfordshire, England, seen below. Pretty amazing, wouldn’t you agree?

This one looks like some sort of fractal pattern:

Brain surgery turns man into artist… O’RLY!

Posted in art on June 1st, 2009 by admin – 2 Comments

Saw this story on the Daily Mail today. This one really begs the question… Art or Not? You can judge the painting below for yourself, while I go dig up the name of Alan Brown’s surgeon, you know… just in case.

Until the stroke, Alan was unable to draw or paint, and the best he could manage was a simple 2D stickman.

Alan, who is divorced, said: ‘I was out of the danger zone but still in intensive care and a nurse came up to me and said I looked bored and suggested I start drawing. ‘She gave me a pencil and some paper and photograph of her dog which I copied almost perfectly.

‘I had never even set foot in an art gallery, let alone tried creating my own art work.’

‘While most of the effects involve a loss of functioning, in some cases people have been known to acquire or discover new skills, although the exact reason for this is not fully understood.’

Weather Photography: True art form, or merely a glorified hobby?

Posted in art on June 1st, 2009 by admin – 2 Comments

A few posts ago, a reader asked us whether we considered weather photography to be an art form. Thinking about it for a while, I still cannot be certain, so I’ve decided to open up the discussion to our visitors… Well? Is this art?

Pencil Art by Jennifer Maestre

Never seen anything like this before. Very intriguing collection of sculptures made entirely of colored pencils. I guess there are multiple ways for one to use a pencil in creating art.

Street Sign Art

Posted in art on May 30th, 2009 by admin – Be the first to comment

Just when I thought I had seen every kind of street art there is, signtologist of Denver comes up with yet another way of decorating trivial public property. It’s catchy, original, and it’s way easier on the eyes than a damn STOP SIGN (especially while driving). Only one question remains… is this truly bona fide art, or not? You be the judge.

Alive but silent. Living statues contest in Sochi.

Posted in art on May 29th, 2009 by admin – 3 Comments

Got art? These people think they do. When a statue is not really a statue but a decorated human being… is that still art? Am I asking stupid questions?

A living statues contest was held in the Russian city of Sochi earlier this month. Looks pretty interesting. What amazes me most here is that I really can’t tell that these exhibits are all living, breathing people. Perhaps you could better discern their humanity if you saw the show in person… or maybe it’s just a Russian thing ;-)
