"I went last week in olot, a small town at 150km to the north from barcelona, that is also full of modernist architecture. the first sketch is the first floor of the most famous house of the area, built in 1781 by the italian architect francesc brilli o barilli, and restored at the beginning of the XXth century by lluis domenech i muntaner (to my mind the most important spanish modernist architect). the second building in front of the church is one of the many extravagant modernists constructions built in catalonia. blogged by lapin" - Kimber Scott

awesome sketches..i love them:) - Kader Kılıç

"Armory Portraits I spent the day yesterday at the Armory Show in New York, which assembles the offerings of over a hundred galleries from around the world. The show will be up at 55th and 12th through March 7. The works, set up in white painted cubicles, include modern and contemporary painting, sculpture and video. Barry Friedman, Ltd. of New York was one of two galleries presenting the work of Gottfried Helnwein (Austrian, b. 1948), who paints gigantic portraits of wan children. The skin and hair invited scrutiny for their soft, downy surface, painted with a sense of photographic realism, but painterly energy at a small scale. The Forum Gallery showed new works by Robert Bauer (American, born 1942) another portrait artist whose works are on a much smaller scale, but equally compelling. He has been creating lighter images in egg tempera, more resembling drawings. He can create them faster than his oils, which he was producing at four per year. They're made from a combination of photographs and live sittings. Both artists seem to have made a point of having the subject avoid eye contact with the viewer, which changes the chemistry of a close encounter with a realistically painted face. There was much else, perhaps something for every taste. A single ticket gets you into all the satellite venues, including the Volta (across from the Empire State Building). You can save the $30 entrance fee by following this link and signing up for complimentary passes. Use the code "TASGALLERY" in the promotional code. (Thanks, James)" - Kimber Scott

There is a code at the end of the above post that will allow you to get in without paying the $30 ticket price. - Kimber Scott

"A world of inspiration over at Daniel Robbins’ blog. Dig through the breathtaking flora fetish at the beginning to get to his oil studies and moleskine sketches (of which I wish there were more)." - Kimber Scott

"Photographer and Architect Bernardo  Medina was born in El Salvador, Central America but has lived in Huston, Texas most of his life. A source of inspiration for his architectural projects, photography allows Medina to “play with the perception of the outside world…it’s structures, forms, colours, illusions, and clichés.” Medina uses mostly digital photographic equipment from professional SLR’s to simple “point and shoot” digital pocket cameras. His work has been featured in books, magazines and publications around the world. In 2009, Medina won the Grand Prize in National Geogrpahic’s “Ultimate Photo Contest”. To see more of Medina’s work, visit 4EyesPhoto.com or his profile on Deviant Art." - Kimber Scott

"Born in Japan and living in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Sayaka Ganz has a BA in printmaking and an MFA in 3D Study with a concentration in sculpture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. To create her sculptures, Ganz finds discarded objects including plastic utensils, toys, and metal pieces and gives them a second life and a new home.. “The human history behind these objects gives them life in my eyes.  My goal is for each object to transcend its origins by being integrated into an animal form that seems alive. This process of reclamation and regeneration is liberating to me as an artist. By building these sculptures I try to understand the human relationships that surround me. It is a way for me to contemplate and remind myself that even if there is conflict right now, there is a way for all the pieces to fit together.” To see more of Ganz’s work visit SayakaGanz.com. via dailyartfixx.com" - Kimber Scott

"Here is the last day of Jacob's demo. We got some professional lighting for this photo and it makes a big difference! Sorry for the poor quality on all the other photos, we are hoping to set up a better situation for photographing the artwork done at GCA. I usually just point & shoot the work while it's still on the easel. Some of the students have forbidden me to post their work on the blog because the photos come out so poorly, so we are working on a solution." - Kimber Scott

"Got back yesterday from Kansas City. It was an incredible weekend with some great artists and and people. Kinda restored my faith in people. We worked hard and we talked hard. All in all we chose a lot of great pieces and some wonderful winners. I want to thank the whole jury, the staff and especially Arnie and Cathy Fenner. They not only produce a great book but with their knowledge and personalities seem to be caretakers of a genre. Heady stuff I know but I'm feelin' it. Probably be embarrassed in a few days but now it is etched in cyberspace. Here is a little drawing I did for them before I went out there. I now see how appropriate it is. I made sure that I chose dark colored beans to vote with to stay true to the drawing. Here is a link to Spectrum so you can see the winners and the room in which we juried. Spectrum" - Kimber Scott

"In this episode we’re joined by Soren Gordhamer, long time tech writer, and author of Wisdom 2.0: Ancient Secrets for the Creative and Constantly Connected. Soren often writes for the Huffington Post and Mashable (a social media blog) on the relationship between the inner world with technology and social media. He explores with us some of the potential shadow sides of technology, as well as some of the remedies that can be used in balancing our internal life with our external. He suggests that focusing more consciously on our internal world actually puts us in a position where we can use technology, instead of technology using us. Soren also shares some details on a conference that he’s organizing, which will be bringing together luminaries from both the spiritual and technology worlds. His hope is that a conversation between the two can better answer the question of how we live a life of wisdom in the modern world.
