angry artist....
I started on my new painting, name unknown, and I am using brand new paint. Well when I went to Texas Art Supply I found out they no longer sell Golden paint, which is my fav, due to issues with pricing with the Golden Company. Well I was bummed but didn't feel like leaving.... so I spoke with several sales clerks and they all recommended Winsor & Newton Artists' Acrylic Colour. Well it cost about 2 bucks more a tube and the tubes were smaller. Of course I was weary about it, but they sold it to me stating the pigment is the best and blah blah blah....
I came home excited and ready to paint.... I was highly disappointed, more like PISSED!!! The paint sucked... well to me!!! The pigment was mediocre, flow was horrible (bc it dried super quick), and the blending of colors was piss poor. Maybe others have had success with this paint but NOT ME!! I had to blog it bc now I might have to cover the paint with Golden paint to fix it. Ugh... damn sales clerks....

sculpture
Polymer clay is the medium of choice for Portland artist Meredith Dittmar, a former Flash designer and developer, when she creates relief works that incorporate animals with human characteristics into intricate scenes of the imagination. Once the many pieces are assembled in the composition, it must be baked in order to harden the clay. Themes of biology are as common as technological ones, while human-animal-plant energy is streamed through colour and pattern in sculptures that reflect consciousness and a desire for connection.

hawt, cool, and interesting jewelry!
When Tithi Kutchamuch learned that her dog died a month before she was able to return to her parents' home, she realized that she wished she could have taken her pet with her everywhere. From there, she developed the idea of a secret friend: jewellery that was part of a pet animal that stayed at home. The jewellery acts as the connection when you are out and completes the sculpture when you are safely home again. Parrot Companion Parrot is the largest piece in the collection and the closest to life size, in order that the connection be made stronger.

Companion Parrot will be part of a collection exhibited at Saatchi Gallery 14-17 May 2010 in London.

Barcode Paintings
I'm in love with these paintings... it inspires me to try something new!
Artist and interior designer Karen Blackerby incorporates travel into her practice by employing a variety of styles and media to create artwork based on her time on the road and the traditions of other countries. Blackerby's series of Barcode paintings is inspired by travels through South America; each slice represents a different experience and each painting documents a different country. Working with a mix of black and white and colour, Blackerby is successful in catching the eye, yet teasing with a taste of a hidden entirety. Also of interest are the artist's eggshell mosaics (on her website) that are drawn upon experiences in Southeast Asia.

My Heart Shall Not Fear
Looking at life and what lies beyond death, Brandi Milne gets ready for a new show of work that is not without its dark side. Judging from the preview images from the exhibition opening at the end of June, a narrative touching on survival, escape and the chase is to be expected. Milne's hauntingly gothic work is showing more depth and texture, and we can't help but see the intertextuality in the painting after the jump: out, damned spot! Out, I say!
