Finding Inner Art
Many artists the world over take inspiration from those who have gone before them to establish styles and methods with perennial value. For an artist just learning his craft, it is always advisable to begin with known concepts before venturing out into individualistic practices that may or may not work. In the first months of independent study, an artist may rightly assume that some idea he has is groundbreaking or new — or, he could be completely off base. Wouldn’t it make more sense to start with learning what has already been done, than to do something you assumed had...
read moreThe Art of Cell Phone Filth
Cell phones can be some of the world’s dirtiest objects, quite literally. While some companies, like Apple, spend a lot of research and development dollars designing smart phones that are sleek, sexy, and even sanitary — other companies are just trying to chuck out whatever they can put on store shelves that will run on the latest version of Google’s Android operating system.

The above video is one of my favorites on Youtube right now. It is a few years old, but I love what the creator did with all of the images of the women’s faces. These women in the video are all portraits of women in Western works of art for a 500 year period of time.

Long time Broadway produce and seven time Tony winner Andrew Llyod Webber has a new outlook on his work after surviving prostate cancer: less manic workaholism, which in turn means less original productions and less involvement in the overall production process of pieces he’s collaborated on.
