Great Interview with Mark Echo

Mark Echo talks about his career. Been a rough day, and I put this clip up because of what Mark says at the end of it- about something he calls "nostalgia paralysis."


Brush your shoulders off.

An inspiration

Wildfires have burned down much of the surrounding Austin area. The smell is strong, in even in the downtown.

I have been following Carol Maine for a minute now, but lately, her story has been something a bit more than an art blog.

Carol had to evacuate her house due to the fires. She has still been posting her paintings, and, all the while, wondering out loud if her house was still there.

I love this image. It caught my attention, and then I read on. Her house burned down in the wildfires.

Carol Maine, and her painting a day...

I pad painting

One of the artists I mentioned in my last post-David Kassan, has a great video demo of him painting on an ipad.

More White

After completing an all-white still life, I have been researching other images with this palette.

While cheating with all that red, one of my absolute favorites - Alex Kanevsky.

The Delicate and Elusive "White"

In preparation for our next still life, which is going to be an all-white image, my fellow classmates and I are looking at the work of Daniel Adel.

Daniel Adel is an incredibly talented illustrator who creates amazing portraits for his commercial work, and these beautiful, delicate images for his gallery work.
