This is abaaasolutely brilliant. Even if you're not that into sheep!

Monday, April 06, 2009 Twitter sketch Tuesday, March 31, 2009 My Tech Sheep  Tuesday, March 03, 2009 Jackie Gardiner Art
Had a note from Jackie Gardiner - Contemporary Landscape & Seascape Artist - to have a look at her work. Some fantastic seascapes on there but my favourite must be the Winter Hillside currently on sale at Artery Gallery. (not sure how long it will be there for though, somebody's bound to snap it up quickly!)
See Jackie's main site at www.jackiegardiner.co.uk Saturday, April 26, 2008 Collaborative Art Projects
Collaborative art projects can throw up some fascinating works. www.lookatbook.com is one of them. 4 artists have filled a sketch book with their own works, filling a double page spread then sending the book to the next artist. A little bit of the previous page always spills onto the next one. Apparently the 4 artists involved never talked to each other and the book travelled 60000 miles before it was complete. Fascinating stuff.
Thursday, April 17, 2008 Art on Cars
Not talking about shiny paint jobs here either. The Dirty Car Art Gallery exhibits the work of Scott Wade who generates fantastic images in the dust and dirt on cars. Sounds mad, but have a look at the gallery on his site. The original work might be impermanent, but at least we've got photography to keep a record of it. I love it when artists think outside the box like this, so to speak.

One of the bloggers I read regularly as part of my day job has a fun guest post on 27 thoughts for blogging artists. It might be worth a look if you too happen to be both blogger and artist. Or either. Or neither...
Thoughts for a blogging artist Friday, April 11, 2008 Invest in Scottish Art  The owner of Artistri contacted me a year ago and I've only just seen the email whilst clearing out my inbox (I don't do it very often). Anyway, Artistri is a site promoting the artworks of graduate artists in Scotland. The site has an extremely high quality of work on display and the prices are very affordable. If yo uare looking for some original artwork to brighten your home, this is a great place to start, and you never know, the artist you buy from might just be the next big thing. www.artistri.co.uk Tuesday, April 08, 2008 Create Your Own Picasso Friday, May 18, 2007 Computer Art
Not all art is applied to a ready stretched canvas. In my day job as a web designer, I come across a lot of graphic design and sometimes 3D design. This latter type of art is a highly specialised niche and one which demands a lot of respect. It's not something you can do after spending a couple of hours messing about with Photoshop.
If the process of creating 3D digital art interests you then the website of Kay Patterson - www.therailwaychild.com - should be worth a visit. Kay is creating a number of 3D characters as an art project. Have a look through the blog on the site and see how she created the skin for the Coin Dragon - it really is quite inspired. Thursday, May 17, 2007 Ian Burke in a North Yorkshire Art Gallery
Those of you who have been lucky enough to have visited the village of Staithes on the coast in North Yorkshire might well know the delights of the Staithes Gallery. I just thought I'd mention it because whilst having a look I was really impressed with the work from one of the artists they display: Ian Burke.
Both Burke's paintings and lino cut prints really drew me in. I like the rugged feel to them, and the paintings of tractors in particular would be welcome to hang on my wall. I know, who'd put a picture of a tractor on their wall? But before judging, take a look first and see - you might just find you like tractors a little better afterwards. Monkey Art in Scotland Wednesday, May 16, 2007 The Art of the Female Form
I had email over the weekend from Alicia DeBrincat - an artist in California who specialises in painting the female form. Her work is fascinating in that it explores both visual and emotional aspects of viewing the female body. Her paintings are really rather stunning and well worth a look.
