I am what is called a meta-textual reader — I just read the book I am reading, I read every single thing that is associated with it and then continue outwards and ever outwards from there. So a fair while back now I found this story called Lazarus Churchyard and through that discovered this guy [...]
Best known for creating the cover to The Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band, Peter Blake is, for me at least, one of the most accessible of the pop artists. He is someone else I found through the Pop Art exhibition back in the nineties at the Tate Modern.
I don’t know if to [...]
The film by Julian Schnabel delivered the tragic yet charming story of Basquiat to me before I found it, which I eventually would have through my exploration of Warhol and the world of The Factory.
His art is unlike anything else that I have seen before or since — it has a musical quality to [...]
When I first saw the works of Andy Warhol i have to admit to being totally non-plussed. It was at a Pop Art exhibition at the Tate Gallery and lined up next to the other people there for me he didn’t stand his ground. I think I was arrogant enough to think I knew what [...]
There is nothing out there quite like it. Ellis is not just creating something that no other major comics writers are creating, namely a webcomic that comes out every week, he is creating a narrative that is pretty uncommon in comics too.
The domesticity of the main characters in this story doesn’t feel like some thin [...]
I came across this wonderful artist through stumbleupon. She uses some really interesting media to create her pieces and I have to admit that they are something I don’t think I have ever seen. I love innovation in art and coupled with such beautiful pieces it really does touch you both intellectually and emotionally. The [...]
Well, maybe I am some kind of retard but this picture is about the only information that I could find on this guy. I’ve seen similar images to the above one but I think it was the colouring in this one that particularly caught my eye. I found it in http://www.ideafixa.com/ and that is probably [...]
If you haven’t heard of this guy or checked out his site, where he has prints of his amazing art on sale, then you really need to head on over there and check him out. With some of the pieces you can see what some of his influences might be, purely in regards to subject [...]
Whilst I was traveling around the US I stayed in Ohio, and while I was in Youngstown, Ohio I went to the Butler Institute for art. One of the exhibitions that I went to when we were walking around the Butler was a portrait exhibition by Rhoda Yanow. Her paintings were vibrant and full of [...]
I think, to a degree, being part of an exhibition called Sensation damaged this painting and limited its impact. I really wish that I had got to see at the gallery — that long walk that they had designed towards that iconic image: a child killer recreated from children’s hands. A lot of the Young [...]
