Here are some of the types of canvases I tear up for my Safety-Pin pieces. Some of the stuff I’ve posted here previously has probably included parts of these within them.
They are all the size of my scanner bed.

Stuff I Have Destroyed

Posted in Art, film, Photography, Tom Bennett with tags Art, Arthur Lipsett, film, Tom Bennett on July 7, 2009 by Tom BennettI sheepishly admit I had vague awareness of this avant-garde filmmaker, who was a huge influence on people like Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas. He sadly committed suicide just before his fiftieth birthday.
far away from stuffed animals
Posted in Art, Collage, Daniel Allyn Lee, digital, male nude, nude with tags burning, Collage, digital art, man, nude on July 6, 2009 by Daniel Allyn LeeI wanted to work on something that was not stuffed animals and cute, twee monsters. I’ve been futzing with this digital collage for a while. I’m not convinced its absolutely finished but I think its very close.

Sorta Old, Sorta New, Three Encaustics All In Blue
Posted in Art, Painting, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags abstract, Art, encaustic, miniature, Painting, steph gerolimatos, wax on July 5, 2009 by ssstephgMarriage never agreed with me, but corny rhymes? Well, that’s a different story. Yeah anyway…
4 x 4″
encaustic on 3/4″ panels
not sure if it’s obvious or not, but the yellow areas are actually a metallic gold.
click and it gets bigger
I seem to make a good amount of fairly inconsequential art, inconsequential in that it doesn’t quite fit in the context of my main body of work. Instead of being a manifestation of any seriously focused ideas or themes, this work tends to be more a record of my scattered ideas and experiments. In this regard, I think of works like these as sketches, and as they accrue in inconvenient spaces, my studio is transformed into a kind of unkempt old sketchbook. Periodically, I go through the mess, filter out the excess and reorganize everything into a more workable space. That hasn’t happened for too long which is probably why I’ve been posting stuff like this lately. I can feel another purge brewing. Maybe I’ll list some of this stuff on etsy.

I made this a while ago but I don’t think I’ve ever posted it anywhere so let’s do that thing where we pretend it’s new, alrighty? Good. I like it when you’re agreeable.

We Love Museums…Do Museums Love Us Back?

Posted in Links, Toni Tiller, video with tags games, Links, Toni Tiller, video, youtube on July 3, 2009 by Toni TillerHere’s a new game to play while we all have hours to kill over the long weekend, it should suck up at least 15 minutes. You have to slice shapes and avoid balls and maybe some other stuff. As expected I’m not very good at it, the little balls keep smashing me, so I’m going to watch this video from the 1930′s to cheer myself up.
Children of the Corn and a New Approach to Fast Food…
Posted in Jason Gray with tags Illinois, Jason Gray, Springfield on July 2, 2009 by Jason Gray
Corn, and lots of it. Sometimes Springfield, Illinois, can be like stepping into a plot line from that 1984, Stephen King, treasure of a film, if only because of its plethora of corn and sometimes eerie lack of people. Some of you might remember the series of pics that I posted earlier this year of the shuttered-up department store; well, it seems that every time I visit my mother-in-law, I end up photographing new scenes of the Capital City’s decay. It is terribly sad to see the effects of the recent recession, but I also feel compelled to document the result (sort of to pay homage toward the tremendous struggle so many people have had to face). Here are the results of my last trip; decay, decimation, and that which fuels us. eNJOY!

Tis The First Day of Thor in this Month of Caesar
Posted in Art with tags Art, gallery reviews, twitter art crawl on July 2, 2009 by jdhastingsIt’s that time of the month again! The time of the month when I’m cranky and yell at people for no discernable reason? Well yes, that too, but I call that “every day.” Today is the first Thursday of the month! So I get to run around SF visiting art galleries and tweet it live. I’ll be uploading photos of the art and offering my irreverent take of it as I go.
Hopefully its not really annoying and anti-climactic. I do get off work 3 hours before the festivities begin, so I could be liquored up and surly. No promises, but you never know…
I should begin at 9ET, 6PT.

The Jung and the Restless
Posted in abstract, Art, art on paper, gesture, geture drawing, mixed media, Painting, Psychology, Tom Bennett, work on paper with tags abstract, Art, Drawing, Jung, Painting, paper, subconscious, Tom Bennett on July 1, 2009 by Tom BennettWas a good soap opera. These are purely sport to look at, as far as I’m concerned. Here I play with inks and pencil and paint and let nature and serendipity take its course, then make small adjustments and decisions as I examine the revealed biomorphic forms and the anima, buried in my alpha male, tickles my thigh. Its all a nice jungian/buddhist kinda frolic. Boy, this sounds overcooked.

She’d Heard Them All 1000 Times
Posted in Art, Photography, Toni Tiller with tags Art, mask, Photography, scans, self-portrait, skull, Toni Tiller on July 1, 2009 by Toni TillerThis week I was playing with the scanner again, and at first I was experimenting with more natural materials, but to mixed ends. I might post some of the more successful of them anyway even thought I am still working on them, but before that I’ll post this one. Of course with my addiction to narratives this one told me a story right away, I just had to sleep on it to find out what it really was and I had to truncate the title that was in my mind to keep it from becoming too imposing. As it is it may already be. As usual, all comments and crits welcome.
