robert montgomery

stumbled across london based artist, robert montgomery. most of his work is textual based, employing white lettering on black backgrounds. or the opposite. interesting.

check out more of his work here.

sleeping in a box

actress tilda swinton took a snooze at the moma this past weekend. in a glass box. it wouldn't necessarily be my first choice for a nap, but who knows, museums are actually very relaxing. 

read about it here.

arthur pinajian

here's an interesting article i came across today. it's about a hermit artist whose art was not recognized until long after his death — 14 years to be exact. now his art is hanging in a gallery on madison ave and has price tags from $3,750-$87,000. 

it's strange how someone can work their entire life creating art that isn't discovered or relevant until after death. strange and sad.

AMERICA! by bill callahan

i was reminded of this video last week when ashley was presenting her mind map. some of the illustration feels similar to me.

give it a look, and a listen if you enjoy his music. pretty great work. interesting commentary on america, as well. 

incidental art 2

remember the glitch art i posted last week? well it's still happening, lucky for you. my girlfriend usually sends me the ones that really creep her out. like this one for instance:

crazy, right? this is something i would spend time in photoshop actually making! but skype and a poor internet connection do it for me. 

transparent smart phone

ever wanted a transparent smart phone? me neither. but that's not stopping people from making them. taiwan based company, polytron, is apparently still in the early stages of prototyping this thing and from the looks of it, it could be pretty interesting.

rainer tautenhahn

since i have a somewhat completed project, i decided to spend our work day researching different ways to approach my concept to somehow make it better. or just come up with a brand new idea since i wasn't completely satisfied with what i had. anyway, i came across this man's work, and found it to be pretty interesting. his name is rainer tautenhahn and he is a german audio/visual artist that records sounds and turns them into visual representations.
