Touring Museums From Home

This just in from Google: the Art Project. It's a project that took many, many months and developed in partnerships with museums around the world. And it's really cool.

From the comfort of your browser, you can tour select rooms from a list of museums. Find a piece that you like? Click the plus button to get more information about it. Use the zoom tool to get up close and personal (even closer than the gallery guards would let you). It's amazing how they captured the strokes, canvas, even cracked paint in these detailed images! 

What do you think? Any artists or museums you've been wanting to visit? Are they featured on Art Project?

Spray Paint + talent = Incredible Art

Dalton Ghetti

A friend of mine introduced me to this artist on Sunday. He carves standard pencils using a razor blade, sewing needle, and sculpting knife (notice I didn't include a magnifying glass in that list).


"I don’t make money from it but I would love a gallery owner in England to fly me over and put on a show."



It takes Ghetti anywhere from a few months to a few years to complete each project, depending on the complexity.

The carving below of the 2 pencils connected by a chain is the most impressive to me, but the detail of all of them are astounding.

Did you think to yourself "what happens to the broken pencils"? I did. If a pencil breaks when he's near finished, it becomes an addition to his "Graveyard" piece:

Feed the Hungry

Love words? Love art? Love helping people?

You've probably already heard of this site, but I just discovered the art portion a few days ago. FreeRice.com is a site that asks you multiple choice questions regarding a subject of your choosing (though the default is vocabulary words), and for every answer you get right, they donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. Pretty simple, and pretty addicting. You'll feed a whole community before you know it! And while you're at it, you'll get to use all that knowledge from your art history classes.

If you play it, post in the comments your best level!

Photo Realism...in 3D

This artist is, in my opinion, incredible. Called "The Invisible Man," he paints himself to match the background and almost disappears in each photograph.


"I experienced the dark side of society, without social relations, and had a feeling that no one cared about me, I felt myself unnecessary in this world," said Liu Bolin. I think his art expresses that quite well. See more images here.

Dirty Car or Blank Canvas?

Here's a guy that uses dust-covered windshields as the canvas for his art. A little more appetizing than hamburger grease, no?

I find it interesting when people are not only creative with the image they create, but with what they create.
