Someone has taken time collecting pictures of Anthropomorphic Cannibalism at Flickr, which is essentially ads for food, showing the subject of the food, eating itself. Really funny when you think about it, but it took this pool of pics to really make me see it.

Pretty cool, but anytime you look at ads too closely [...]

Here’s a cool idea, shoot pictures through some old Blublocker sunglasses and you get Blublocker photography!  While I’ve shot through different lenses before I never thought of aiming through sunglasses, but it makes sense, it’s just another filter.  Judging by the shots he’s posted on flickr, it gives things an almost otherworldly Mars-like appearance.  Cool [...]

This is just silly, so apparently during her Grammy performace, Amy Winehouse was told to cover up exposed breasts…on one of her tattoos!  The reason given was that, “Grammy bosses were scared she’d offend US audiences” with her pin-up girl tattoo on her left upper arm.  Really, that would have offended Americans? “The ‘Back to [...]

In the ‘About this piece’ section they note, “Donkey Kong (Miyamoto, et. al.,1981) was the first appearance of the Itallian plumber we now know as Mario. While this game’s early [...]

A cat active in the Wordpress circles, PhotoMatt, has an awesome page of quotes from Jazz musicians through the years. I have a couple I want to submit, but cruising through them is very inspiring.

Whenever I see yard sales I see a lot of old kids toys and clothes, next time I’ll look closer, perhaps there’s a Picasso in the lot for cheap. “Pete Bivens and his fiancé had the painting analyzed last week by art historians. They think the painting could be an original piece. Now they [...]

While the artist Stanley Donwood might not be a household name, his artwork is immediately recognizable. As the former art-school friend of Thom Yorke, he has been Radiohead’s resident cover artist, having designed all of the band’s record art since 1994’s My Iron Lung EP. Most recently he created the frontispiece of Tom Yorke’s solo [...]

An Art teacher with 28 years experience is out of a job after taking her fifth-grade classes last April to the Dallas Museum of Art. Why? One of her students saw nude art in the museum, and after the child’s parent complained, the teacher was suspended! This infuriates me beyond belief! Why is this a [...]

Since first studying his work in art classes during college, I knew that Dale Chihuly produced things differently than the traditional current artists that most people envision. He has a ‘factory’ where ‘helpers’ follow his directions in assisting in creating the glass sculptures. This wasn’t unprecedented, as masters did this type of stuff [...]

Like all good artists, it seems that Anthony White has found a niche, with no end in sight to the interest (pun intended) of his works. From the artist’s statement, “I’ve been producing and selling the Money Series for over two years. I sell the paintings for the money amount printed on the canvas. [...]

The second highest price ever paid for a painting occurred earlier this week, a portrait by Pablo Picasso of his longtime companion Dora Maar sold for $95.2 Million. ”Picasso painted Maar many times during their nine-year affair, which began in 1936 when she was making a name for herself as a surrealist photographer. The [...]
