MACROMENTARY

As independent artists...we're constantly creating ways to market our art work and be seen. We build web sites, create portfolios, participate in shows and exhibitions, cross market with other artists , sign to galleries and sometimes use consultants and representatives to sell our work. Well...add another avenue to that list. http://www.macromentary.com/
Use an artists eye to peer into your world of Art, Fashion and Architecture. Spend just 5 minutes or less on each documentary...Then watch your horizons expand as you see things from a macro point of view.

Red Bull Art of Can is coming to Dallas this year 2010. We put together an Art of Can mixer a few weeks back to CREATE awareness about this event in hopes to build up excitement in the Dallas arts community.

I've posted a few of my favorites.....I can't wait to see which ones will be chosen... and to be a part of the actual event.
-Ken & Maureen Womack encaustic and mixed media

LIVE DRAW AT LA GRANGE

When I think of Live Draw...I think of a model or models surrounded by artists sketching, drawing or painting their interpretation of who sits before them. An artist would probably equip themselves with sketch pads or books of various sizes and an array of pencils, chalks, markers, paint brushes and paints. Live...not a lot of detail...within a time limit. You basically have to be a "Bad Ass" to show up to one of these things with a spool of wire and wire snips and take first place. His name is George Fowler.

JEREMY MCKANE PHOTOGRAPHY

Jeremy's new works were inspired by a recent trip to Marfa. In his words..."I feel like...this is me." I can only imagine how a trip completely consumed with art can influence ones mind and force them to evolve as an artist. Thank you Jeremy...Here's looking at you.

QUOTE OF THE DAY













I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over. I come into the studio very fearfully, I creep in to see what happened the night before. And the feeling is one of, "My God, did I do that?".
Damien Hirst
