If you like art and art in the making then you may enjoy this video. My video is the process of a 18x24” charcoal drawing sped up from five hours to five minutes. The illustration is of the musician known as Macklemore. For those of you that don’t know, Macklemore is a Seattle bred underground hip-hop artist who speaks about the universal language between art and music. His edge and political standpoints in such songs as “Bush Song” and “American” show a different more humorous side he is known for. In the end, the north-west rapper was more than flattered to be the subject, and his producer was pleased to throw a huge shout out on Facebook for recognition.

If your interested in more of his music visit the Macklemore MySpace page at, http://www.myspace.com/macklemore

I have been alerted to threadless.com …

It’s a sweet place where all the t-shirt designs are viewer submitted. And Lordy! Do they pay! $2,500 if your design gets picked. I am going to try it, so look for postings regarding voting on designs.

Prior to this, I had seen $200 as a high price for t-shirt designs. That’s a spicy meatball!

I know we’ve all seen it a million times by now. Enough to even notice the artist mention at the end:

“The artists Christo and Jean-Claude have no direct or indirect affiliation with AT&T…”

I know it sent me straight to the itunes store! That song is sweet. Nothing, nada, no song, no artist named Christo and Jean-Claude.

I’m just now finding out they are the orange-bolts-of-satin-cloth artists! Their big idea with all that cloth. THAT kind of artist. It seems like this kind of thing would only even seem remotely cool in a CG application. Oh well, they have been out there doing it since the ’70’s. Nutz.
