Certainly not every deviant has more than 445,000 visitors (or ever will), but this can only be tranlated as a mere fact that Mr. Jasiniski has something special in his works (as the left image called "The Drummer") that reminds you of songs like "Can't Takes My Eyes off of You." It's quite a long journey if you wanna take a trip through his visual gallery, but it's never tiring but pleasing and refreshing. From simple composition to crowds of cartoon characters, from deadly facial expressions to barely possible combo of colors, his aesthetic power never stops but always explodes in each work. My instinct let me bookmark his page immediately and jot down those words, as for my nature, it tells me uniqueness can't happen unless you run into it at times.

Feel like showing off, then post your own works and get some votes, maybe one day your fabulous design will show up on the first page of the Highest Rated.

A very well-designed Canadian arts community. It got studios, forums, blogs and lots of fantastic artwork. You can register as a member then build a portfolio page to publish your works.

By the way, I don't think you actually have to be a Canadian to host your online studio there. Sound nice, huh?! : ]

I wish I know who is the aritst who made this marveloust painting, which is currently featured on the homepage of beinArt Surreal Art Collective, a really amazing place for artists of all media. It's the surrealism that truly attracts me, part of the reason is that I don't do surreals, and I'm naturally drawn to things I can't make or don't understand. It's a good thing that my FF takes about 25 seconds to read the Artists page, but a bit of virtue of patience is always rewarding, indeed!- Ian

Jeremy McCarter reviews Denis Dutton's book "The Art Instinct". Interesting review of a naturalistic viewpoint on the origins of art.

That's a great article - I'll be looking for that book. The only thing I question is the universal issue. Most people (IMHO) not in the arts seem to have a distrust of it - you know - this idea that it's all chicanery unless they are looking at a near duplicate of consensus reality. So - how does that work into the evolutionary idea - that sense of distrust and even disdain? Is there an anti-art gene?

P.S. It seems that my Firefox suffers from temporary breakdown when viewing the website, so you better try some other browsers like Google Chrome or IE.

Living 400 years ago in the time of the counter reformation; in the time of Shakespeare; Caravaggio staged scenes with lighting that inspires modern film directors. Having lived with high quality images and movies; it is difficult for us to conceive the effect his realism had in its days. Every one of his works raised a scandal; and each one haunts us with intrigue even today.

Magnifique musée en ligne. Tout ce que l'on désir savoir de Van Gogh.

It makes me really happy finding this page on Twitter! Seeing all those doodles and sketches from classical writers like Jorge Luis Borges, Franz Kafka, and Vladimir Nabokov not only makes the experience of reading so much precious but brings one closer to the authors. Ian

Heard Museum, Phoenix - good information, bad images

Facebook is a great marketing tool for businesses. You can use it as a way to increase your visibility and get more customers. You can also use this platform to advertise your business and promote products, services or events that you offer. However, if you don't have any reviews on your page then it will be hard for people to find out about these things because they won't know much about your brand or what makes you different from other companies in the area
