Daily dose of art magic...

Art is not just painting or sculpture....ART is an IDEA...it is an ETHOS...it follows you in your heart, you carry it with you in your mind....it's your first love, your last thought.....for those who see beauty in everyday life and realize that art isn't in some museum, then this blog is for you. Thanks to all of you who follow these random posts we often throw up. It's like two five year olds on a sugar high trying to build a LEGO castle sometimes. Anyways....a day without reading something, hearing some song, or playing and making music, is a sad day. The music posts are just one key that interlocks with the many sides of the "arts"....where I am going with this, is that, a TRUE artist looks at all the "traditional" arts, and them applies them to an all encompassing ethos in their life, which makes everything else "art" in itself....FOLLOW THIS ARTIST...if you dare or care to learn anything about NY art, the Feminist movement of the 70's, and Chicago magic...look for old and current work by the great Janet Cooling. It never ceases to amaze me when I am reading a book on Feminist art, or scanning the pages of a book on New York art, and I see her name. She is both talented and intellectual. She was also a professor of mine during my undergraduate studies as a Studio Art major @ SDSU...here is a sneak peak @ some footage being compiled of her in a new documentary....ENJOY....











Here are some killer still life pieces...please explore more of her art on your own....

vinyl people

A portrait of Vinyl collectors and producers and aficionados. From the owner of a Charlie Parker album worth 10,000 who believes in playing it and prefers mono to stereo to the producers at Norton Records where rock musicians who had fallen off the charts are restored to vinyl to be heard again. To that add the proprietor of Fynl Vinyl, straight out of a Nick Hornsby novel and a homemade Gramophone brought by it's owner and maker to Washington Square Park every Sunday to play a collection of 78's. Produced for WNET City Arts by Howard Silver.
