The recent earthquake left the city of Jacmel, unofficial “cultural capital” of Haiti, also known as the “City of Artists,” severely damaged. Many historic buildings and other pieces of fine art were damaged or completely destroyed. We feel for Haiti. Please share our support. There are many websites where you can help in restoring this cultural center of the ailing country by making a donation, or maybe even volunteering some of your time to help. Now we just wanted to share some of the original artwork produced there.

The above taken from Art for Haitian Children and IndigoArts.com

Another great website to visit for examples of fine Haitian art is HaitianArt.com

Thanks for your support.

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?

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.”

5 million dollars for this thing right here. I wonder if that even deserves to be called a work of art. But who am I to judge. I guess economy and the banking sector are turning around after all!

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.
