    The brand spankin' new website for my collaborative art studio. Take a few to check it out and let me know what you think!

    Rae - It's a well-made site, well organized. I keep thinking about that little whisker that appears on top of the frame and elsewhere throughout the site. At first I thought it was just ornament - just something to make the frame un-framelike. But the more I look at the rest of the work it seems like it is a recurring form. It appears as hair, beards, ears, horns, etc. What was the thought behind it?

    I wonder if he's looked at a lot of Hogarth? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin_Lane I like the way the architecture is so oppressive in his work - almost like a cemetery. Do you know if he works from models? I'm asking because there is a strong sense of posing in the fight scenes - which turns them into more of an aesthetic experience as opposed to a visceral experience.

Werewolf by Lucas Cranach - 0 views

  •  
    An unconventional - and very old print titled Werewolf by Lucas Cranach. There is no full moon, no fangs, no howling - just a yard littered with bodies and body parts and a horrific depiction of a small child being carried away in the mouth of a madman whose only indication of wolf-ness is what may or may not be long ears coming out of his hair.

    A woodcut from 1512 titled Werewolf by Lucas Cranach.
  •  
    This is a depiction of Jean Grenier, a famous french werewolf.
  •  
    If he was French, he was undoubtedly a good chef as well as a werewolf.

Exquisite Corpse: Collaborative Surrealist Digital Illustration - 0 views

  •  
    Very interesting collaborative project
  •  
    This is some nice work. Many of the original Surrealists who first did these were also Dadaists. There are many connections between the Dadaists and the Surrealists. Some might argue that Surrealism is a logical growth from Dadaism. Check this link out: http://www.exquisitecorpse.com/definition/About.html

Edvard Munch - Vampire - 0 views

  •  
    An unconventional representation of a vampire. There are no fangs, no wide-open eyes, no crosses and no blood. Just two figures hunched over in the darkness, one with it's mouth apparently at the neck of the other. More is implied than described.
  •  
    Vampire, a painting by Edvard Munch, with woodcut variations.
  •  
    I believe someone picked this piece out as one of their favorites in an art magazine on the first day of class! (Erin, maybe?)
