Art School Dropouts gets a new writer!

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about a friend that going to hop on the blogsite!

Welcome, iMattgination Arts, but on the blog he’ll post as GhostWriter MC.

I’ll update the site as soon as I can, but in the meantime, check out his personal site for his artwork. iMattgination figured he’d join our little blog site to be able to shoot the shit about art, life, and anything in between. I’ve known this guy since I was 14 and he is one that is hardcore about his art! So please, check out his site and watch out for his posts coming soon!

octopuses…octopi?

i prefer octopi. also, octopodes. i would like to share my admiration for this aquatic cephalopod with a few pieces of the art world i’ve come across recently. many of these are fine art, and one is in a purely digital form. i try not to get too caught up in habits or themes, but this is something i’ve revisited time and time again without fail. so please enjoy…

don’t these colors look great? do you think i would spend any time picking them out? of course not. and you don’t want to think about colors either. you’re putting together a website for some god awful company run by a man in suspenders. meanwhile you’re trying to tell him that he needs more unique hits, but he’s only concerned that obama is going to take away his television.  pictaculous has a great new color tool to work with, allowing you to look at the dominant colors you’ll be needing when matching flat color swatches to a photograph. simple color brochures, website buttons and even posterwork could benefit from this…

banksy hitting bristol

it is time. banky, possible the world’s greatest anonymous street artist, is having a show in the UK. apparently he’ll be showing around 100 pieces, most of which have not been seen before,  and he’ll be reworking the museum to his liking. banksy has also worked a good amount of animatronics into the show, something i didn’t see coming. hit the jump for some photos.

you’ve never seen a lens this X-treme

this is a goliath of a lens. apparently sigma wants to rock your world of photography, you’ll have to pay in cash and pushups… YEAH BUDDY!

my take on vessels

i wanted to take a minute and post some of the work i’ve been doing, being that this is now my second foray into the world of clay. i find the posting of art to be an odd process, so i had some thoughts and some work to expose.

Media update! Podcast AND Video!

Hey all, Faiz here.

Philthy and I were hanging out and we had a great conversation about “art,” so we decided to start up a podcast about…well, whatever that we felt was…worth talking about. So, please sit back and enjoy our first podcast about, “What is Art?”

Also, hit the jump and you can see a little video update of what we did this afternoon.
