Munch Masterpieces To Go Back Before Public
"Two recovered Edvard Munch paintings will go on display in Oslo before they are repaired, say museum officials. Masterpieces The Scream and Madonna were stolen by two armed men in a daring daylight raid in 2004. Police recovered the paintings in August, and Norway's Munch Museum said both works had suffered slight damage. They will be put on display briefly over the next few weeks." BBC 09/14/06

Banksy Takes LA
British "guerrilla" artist Banksy hits Los Angeles. "Somehow, despite his mainstream appeal, Banksy has lost none of the respect of his more 'underground' British peers. When people talk about graffiti they talk about Banksy. Famous people have always come to his exhibitions because his stuff is easy to read." The Observer (UK) 09/17/06

This is the site of a guy whose work I admire. It's not my style, I don't particularly want to work in that style, but I still admire the style :)

Worship Spanky!!
Get your Spanky T-shirts while they last. After all, how often do you get the chance to own a shirt with a picture of a dog dragging his butt across your chest?

I haven't actually picked up a brush in over two weeks and I need to. This is the latest work I've completed:

Very cool flash site for a design house based in New York. Their look is very Hello Kitty meets Baseman. They have an extensive line of designer toys as well.

Linda Bergkvist
I stumbled upon this person's site when I was browsing Deviantart.com. Her work is truly amazing, especially as it's all digital. The attention to detail is astonishing. Some of her more animated looking characters are a little odd, but they've certainly got character.
Her personal site is Here.

Chapter 3
I've always loved the tech stuff. Those insidiously mind-bending space-scapes of tech nothingness that some people seem endlessly capable of creating. I've made a couple of them, but like many things, I don't dedicate enough time to perfecting once I've done it once or twice. Still, I have to hand it to these guys.
This site, whether it's a design house or just one guy, I'm not quite sure, but the visuals are just stunning.

GoodBrush
This guy's name is Craig Mullens. He does pre-viz stuff for films and video games. His site is overflowing with purely amazing artwork. He has some personal stuff in there as well.
The film and game stuff is almost completely digital. I am simply astounded at his talent. What one fat, ugly stroke of the digital pen can be made to look like when wielded by this man is just amazing.

Cool Gallery
This is an interesting gallery site. I went there to see one artist's photographs and got distracted by the creative flash site.
Casey Kaplan Gallery
The photographer I was seraching out was Anna Gaskell. Unfortunately, it looks like she's not represented there anymore. This is her collection at the Guggenheim.

TrashStones
Dusseldorf-based sculptor Wilhelm Mundt creates sculptures of production waste and fiberglass that he calls Trashstones. The smooth and shiny ‘stones’ are the size of boulders and appear in an assortment of vivid colours, sometimes mottled and veined. The Trashstones are numbered and their surfaces are so candy-like one might be tempted to lick them.
