We caught up with him to find out more about The Skype Series, his personal ... continue reading

The combination of the visceral, the surreal and the realistic is really the only way to describe Ulicny’s fabrications, though, so it’s actually quite fitting. By combining everything from common ... continue reading
Getting a bird’s eye view can result in some seriously cool Instagram pictures. If you’re anything like artist Menno Aden, though, that isn’t anywhere near interesting enough.

Beer is art. The cans and bottles don’t design themselves. The marketing campaigns don’t come out of nowhere (frogs and horses have never been the same since Budweiser).

There's no arguing with the fact that tattoos are art. People might make bad decisions about the images they want emblazoned on their skin forever, but that doesn't discount the art form as a whole. Shawn Barber knows a thing or three about what goes into a tattoo from concept to creation and the artist is an integral ... continue reading
There are people who have gifts for something, and then there are people who have gifts for something. Paul Cadden is more proficient with a pencil than most doctors are with scalpels. His works range from full nudes to detailed garbage drawings (the subject, not the final product), but all of them are closer ... continue reading

The Avengers is going to be a blockbuster hit. Combine Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye and the other Avengers and the super hero movie equivalent of a Long Island Iced Tea practically sells itself.
