Winners and participants have a shot at the big time, a chance to partake in $75,000 worth of awards, a red-carpet reception, and more.
Go to their website to check out more information and how to participate!

“Belgian premium cable network Prime promotes its fantastic lineup of American TV shows with a montage of miniature dioramas, each representing a different series.”
I just discovered Robin lasser and was checking out her website. http://robinlasser.com/index.html
I am particularly interested in her series Dirty Dining. I like how she chose to present the work in the exhibition as a series of photographs at site specific locations and a sculptural installation. I think this method of presentation would work well for my sculptures.
The show Light in Darkness up at the Western Bridge looks good, it includes works using light as a primary medium. The list of included artists is impressive. The show is up until April 30th. I plan to head down during dead week or finals week if anyone is interested, you are welcome to join.

After my fiance gave me some recent dental x-rays, I began to look at artists who use X-Rays as a foundation for their work, and of course Nick Veasey would come up. I haven’t seen his stuff in a while…and although nothing of his is going to literally take the breath out of my lungs, it’s still pretty sweet stuff. Check him out.

I was talking to someone last night who told me to look this woman up, and she’s amazing!
She combines taxidermy animal with human faces tacked on to their own. It creates this very creepy and surreal effect
