  • Giving Art for the Holidays?

    Anyone giving art (your own or someone else's) for holiday presents? (Solstice, Hannuhkah, New Years, Christmas, Kwanzaa, etc.)  I tithe to the arts, but it also seems like the perfect chance to give art. It doesn't have to be your own art - and when you give art you can be supporting fellow…

  • What are you working on right now?

    With 60 members and so much silence, it seems like it is time to ask the question again!

  • Point and Shoot

    Should professional photographers be worried about the proliferation of point and shoot cameras and photographers? A lot of jobs that used to be the domain of professional only are now being done by Joe next door. Will the artistry of photography be enough to keep it as a "professional" occupation?

    Hi y'all. I am a photographer for a local paper and I have some new photos to share in an album I have entitled "Bikes, Blues & BBQ 2009". I think they are interesting and thought I would share with you.

  • Art versus Craft

    I had a former TBDer (who shall remain nameless) look at my art on my site and declare it "craft." I wanted to kick her ass, but it did get me thinking about the difference. I mean, it brings us back around to "what is art" in a way, but is craft a subset of art? Is craft a kind of art? Do you have…

  • Ever Get Tired Of Being The Artsy Black Sheep?

    Man, I think if I hear another relative describe me as very creative, I will puke, as the kiddies say. They might as well say, "You know she's an Artist" and roll their eyes..

  • a fine line btw ART and EROTICA

    Gustav Klimt is one of my favorite painters. I have several posters of his works hanging in my bedroom. He is a master at dealing with erotic in any detail and his subjects are often controversial. I consider him a great artist. Yet, others may feel his works are skating the fine line between art…

  • Which artwork or artist incites emotional turbulence in you?

    The one artwork that has stirred emotional turbulence in me is Rodin's piece: The Gates of Hell showcased at the door of the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia. I felt very disturbed just staring at the piece. The gates are exquisitely sculpted- imo beyond compare. The details are so fine and sharp, its…
