This guy really is good at what he does. Kid's draw pictures of their 'monsters' and super-heros, and he takes those pictures, and paints them realistically, all the while leaving the basic lines and scope of the drawings.

My son really enjoyed this site, as did I. It is very interesting!

[Awesome!]

THE MONSTER ENGINE - What if a kid's imagination....was better represented?

Have you seen this guy's 3D sidewalk art? Well, it's 2D... but done in such a way that if viewed from a certain angle, the image will trick your eye into thinking that the object depicted is "on" the sidewalk.

Make sure you scroll down far enough to see what his artwork looks like if photographed from the "wrong" angle!

Impact Lab - Amazing 3D Sidewalk Art Photos

"Louisville artist Matt Gatton started thinking of primitive people hunkering inside caves and arrived at a radical, quite possibly revolutionary and insistently plausible theory of the origin of representational art.

It struck Gatton, a St. Francis High School art teacher, that the question of how Paleolithic people got the notion to create representational art could be answered by their living conditions. Holes in the animal hides that covered their dwellings could have projected images from outside -- a phenomenon of physics we now call camera obscura. The people could then have traced the images onto their cave walls."

It is an installation distributed between two locations in the world. Its “brain” consists of cultured nerve cells that grow in a neuro-engineering lab, in Atlanta. Its “body” is a robotic drawing arm that is capable of producing two-dimensional drawings. The “brain” and the “body” will communicate in real time with each other for the duration of the exhibition.

It's a fascinating picture, dark and exciting, and it will almost certainly be an enormous hit.

This Movie Will Kick Your Ass, By Kurt Loder

Country music outlaw Willie Nelson sang "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" more than 25 years ago. He released a very different sort of cowboy anthem this Valentine's Day.

All Music Guide begins her bio with:

Vocalist Madeleine Peyroux can best be thought of as a Billie Holiday for the 1990s.

From the promo on her web site:

The album "Careless Love" seamlessly weaves strands of acoustic blues, country ballads, torch songs and pop into a vibrant fabric that is both classically vintage and thoroughly up to date.

AMG wraps up its bio of Peyroux with this:

However she is marketed, blues, jazz or "roots music," look for more great things to come to this young and promising 20-something vocalist, guitarist and songwriter.

Hermoso!

In a bookstore in the funky California beach town of Venice, larger-than-life-sized color photographs of masked Mexican wrestlers are the focal point of a very different art exhibit.

The resolution, such as it is, involves the complexities of time travel — wormholes, tangent universes and so forth — in a way that asks larger questions about free will.
