Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2012

Though I find the hats a little pimp-a-licious, I’m liking the shapes and textures created in the new Marc Jacobs Fall/Winter 2012 line.

This artist has a similar theme to my own work and I find the way he uses googlemaps very interesting!

Arden Bendler Browing:

Browning’s wall-size paintings centre on the idea that human experience is a mess and overlapping reflections and memories, all of which cloud the present. And background noise competes for our attention, too, while we form these muddled impressions.

He collects reference imagery from actual and virtual meandering around fridge neighborhoods in Philadelphia, his current home. Using Street View on Google Maps, he jumps around and absorbs impressions of space complete with the inherent distortions of low-resolution snapshots that make places appear rippled and blurred.

These virtual walks he likens to the sensation a diver has when resurfacing. ‘I often find myself lost and need to zoom out of a street view to an aerial view for navigation. No matter how closely I zoom in on a space, the truest details are inaccessible,’ he says.

Painting with Photos

Saw this artist on the Visual News. He calls his work “Hyperphotos” in which he digitally stitches together photos he has taken, creating a different reality. Here are just a few examples but it’s really worth checking out his website as well as the navigation of detail you can do of each photo is superb.

Let the legs do the talking

I am loving the trend of oversized knits, jackets, and tops that highlight legs as the sexy selling point.

Sketches from his blog. Always a favorite of mine, he never disappoints and always inspires me to feel confident to do my own thing as an artist.
