Well, I think I was one of the first people to write about iPhone Art as early as  last year, and I’ve been it, on and off, on my iPhone and posting it at http://www.ArtNewYorkCity.com; plus, my blog ranks well in Search Engines for iPhone Art.
And you can see a lot of great examples of [...]

I happened to pass by Rockerfeller Center tonight on my way home and came across a painting of Nicolas Roerich by his son, Slerislov Roerich.
It’s the same painting I spent many a years with in my youth when I visited Binghamton, New York, and that paint hung in the house I stayed in often, in [...]

The entire concert is a play list made up of 10 videos [...]

I went to see Cezanne and Beyond exhibition on Saturday with three of my friends, and ended up becoming a member of the museum (even though I don’t live in Philadelphia – long story).

I had a lovely time with Juliette Powell tonight, authoress of 33 Million People in the Room, that I reviewed at WebMetricsGuru.com, maybe 5 or 6 weeks ago.
A couple of ideas “came to me” today; they’re not really new ideas to me, but worth writing down, all the same.
For one thing, I’m passionate about Art, [...]

This painting, I think, is done – I went by my studio space and decided to finish it – if anything can really be finished.   Orginally, I named it “The Uprising” but I think it ought to really be named “Truth” because that’s what I feel when I look at the painting.
