POPSSelf-Portraits in Oil - BB art series
"According to my theory, all our basic sexual instincts except their straightforward manifestations are the instrument in the hands of an artist. In this series I’m taking the basic instrument – my body and inspired by great artists use their techniques, my experience and plunge into the intercourse to unite and be one. I’m overwhelmed by desire to not primitively mimic the technique, but plunge inside, learn what was driving the genius, what inspired him. Before starting each work I studied in detail the work of the artist. It’s a kind of a present to my favourite artists. All the materials or textures used in the compilations were painted by me in oil. All works are self-portraits." ...Katerina Tumanova (Belkina) Country: Odincovo, Russian Federation Title: Paint Russian digital artist, painter and photographer, born in Samara. Education - art school and than art college "Petrov-Vodkin" of Samara. 2000-2002 - Photo Academy. Samara Works - 1994 -1999 Fedorov 's publishing corpora

POPSNew Orleans: The Art of the Corpse by Andre Codrescu New Orleans sank into the funk like a corpse into the embrace of the earth. The rows of fridges lining the streets looked by moonlight like primed canvasses ready for painting. The city’s artists, who have been enthralled since John James Audubon by New Orleans’ embrace of decay and death (Audubon purchased all his American birds dead from the French Market) were not long in reacting. New Orleans music and art had always been inspired by funk ... Now here was all this funk, magnified a thousand times. And here were all these metal tombs stretching as far as the eye could see, more numerous than the graves they resembled. ,,, In a short time, there were thousands of art works in the city, an exhibition that stretched for miles, Today, most of the show is closed. New Orleans always renewed its armies of ghosts after every disaster of its 500-year history, but this last addition came with its own unique, absolutely new style.

POPSPencil Art Evolves Into Unusual Sculptures Before pencils, Maestre was originally building with nails and a liquid rubber-type glue. She started to worry about inhaling all the toxic fumes, however, and began to experiment with different techniques until she settled on beading. Her method of choice? The peyote stitch. #3 In Watchtower, Maestre focuses on a more architectural form. Peer inside and you'll see a series of pencil struts spiraling up like a staircase in a tower. #4 Maestre was originally inspired by the push-pull reaction she had to sea urchins. #5 Hive is one of Mastre's unintentionally more suggestive sculptures. "Certain viewers find it a little obscene," she says. "Maybe because I used the pink eraser ends to outline the orifices." (OK?) #6 Some see a frog, others a gorilla, and some even an Egyptian mask. What does Threnody look like to you? Maestre may not know herself, but her primary goal was to convey the feeling of something howling.

POPSThe History of the Color Wheel As the disk spins, the colors blur together so rapidly that the human eye sees white. From there, the organization of color has taken many forms, from tables and charts, to triangles, and wheels the history. A nice explanation for each color organization system at the source: http://www.colourlovers.com/blog/2008/05/08/history-of-the-color-wheel/ sweetfood's related clip: Unusual Color Wheels Found in Life and Art - http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/6B376FCB-7F70-4E17-8147-84856276F53C/
