"I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them."
- Pablo Picasso, Spanish artist (1881-1973)
This is a kickass five mintue video by Scottish artist Reza Dolatabadi. Each frame is a separate PAINTING! Pause anywhere in the video and you are looking at an individual painting. Reminds me of some of the Tool videos...
From the artist, Reza Dolatabadi:
What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a 'mission impossible' by many people but eventually proved possible!

Animal Art
"Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up."
- Pablo Picasso, Spanish artist (1881-1973)
I love these. The work of Swiss artist Geoffrey Cottenceau.
Whimsical; they make me very happy.
They remind me a bit of the simplicity of Picasso's 1943 sculpture,
"Head of a Bull" - made from a bicycle saddle and handlebars.
Tip again from Sullivan at The Daily Dish.

My good friend, Dorik (Double D), is having an ART SHOW this Saturday, June 14th, 2008 from 4 to 9 pm.
It's at Earl Harper Studios in Georgetown (Seattle).
Should be a good weekend.

He'll have paintings for sale, there are numerous bars, coffeeshops and cafés right there, live music, food, fun, etc.
