Black and white artwork is a whole subject onto itself, I simply love it, black and white are the true extreme colors, and they call for strong imagery and subject matter for them to unvail their true power.

The tribal tattoo is something that dates back through time and place and is connected to many of our heritages. In 1991, a mummy more than five-thousand years old was found with 57 tattoos in the Austrian/Italian Alps. The majority of these tattoos correspond to acupuncture points used today. In 1947 a Russian archaeologist found a Scythian chieftain with multiple zoomorphic (animal) tattoos.In

Katherine, do you have any info or articles about packaging artwork and posting it (for commissioned work)? This is something I've been having enormous difficulty finding out about.

What We're Making This is the final image which we will create: Preparation This tutorial is very stock heavy. Since the basic theme of the image will be "music", I gathered a few stock images from iStockPhoto. I suggest that you also choose a theme and gather a bunch of stock images which you think will be useful before you start creating the image. Here are links to the ones I used: Girl, Speakers, Boombox Step 1 Before we start with the stock, we will quickly create a texture for later use.

Take a peek at this insane clarinet mod, which causes the instrument to drop its musical roots in favor of something a bit more offensive. Unfortunately, there isn't an awful lot of information to go on, but the device clearly looks like an artwork installation, meaning it probably isn't going to be firing rounds of 0.270s anytime soon. This information is probably causing the NRA to weep tears of hate and misery—oh, how we love the Gun Mod Clarinet. [80gritart]
Fantasy, catching a ride on an armadillo, a candy smörgåsbord to rival Willie Wonka...these are just a few of the wonderfully charming and fanciful designs you'll find at Lark and Loon. Gretchen and Priscilla had a vision to create clothing for children that embodied the spirited nature of simply being a child, and they have succeeded! They commissioned artists throughout the country to design images that "convey the everyday HOPS, SKIPS and JUMPS, as well as a few outlandish cartwheels that occupy a child's day!"Lark and Loon offers a nice assortment of t-shirts for boys and girls, as well as several dresses and pants for girls.

This amazing illustration (above) is the work of a stunning Tucson artist simply named Milk. Her gallery of semi-avante garde artwork intricately blends elements of classic art styles with symbols of modernism that often reflect the darker and more disturbing side of love, loneliness and apparently substance abuse. Milk's art is simply memorizing, and it is no surprise that she is a favorite among indie bloggers, 'underground' artists and digital art enthusiasts. Milk rises above the sea of wanna-be artists and stakes her claim - even if it's with a pitchfork or a needle - as an accomplished, brilliant artist at a caliber worthy of being presented at trendy art galleries in Manhattan, Beverly Hills, Paris, Tokyo and London. Now on to the playlist of Valentine's tracks. For a number of year

A collage using marbled paper, linen, handmade paper beads, scrapbook paper, rice paste and buttonhole twist thread. 8x10" on fluted black matboard.Although I did some planning before gluing, some of this is done on the fly, spontaneously. Every element affects every other element, moving one piece or changing size or shape seems to require adjustments in other areas and I really wanted to utilize the design on the beautiful gold metallic marbled paper as well. Sky, clouds, rocks, and a stream are represented by the background paper, so it's a very important design element.collage is really interesting artwork to create, I am having a great time with these!Thanks for looking at my work!

"Leopard Eyes"Completed: 1.17.08crayon on paperI really enjoyed drawing the tiger I did awhile back, so I figured I would try a couple more animal eyes. This one I did with crayon instead of oil pastel, and it took about 40 minutes. I think I like the tiger one better, because I tend to lean towards bright colors more. I think I may end up doing a bigger collection of these...I just have to get some pictures of my own. Maybe in the spring time I need to take a trip to the zoo.....Shannon
"Break Time"Completed: 1.7.08chalk pastel on paperI completed this sketch while my boyfriend was in class. I sat in a lobby with a couple of chairs, and this desk that had an interesting design in the middle. I drew it in pencil first and almost didn't want to use chalk pastels, because sometimes I mess things up when I add color. I figured it's just in my sketch book, so I went ahead and used them. It was definitely a learning experience using them in such small, detailed sections. Hopefully I will have some posts soon about the current collection I am working on. (Hint - I love pictures of outer space...)Shannon
"Morning Colors"Completed: 1.8.08chalk pastel on paperI sketched this one out in about half an hour during my lunch break at one of my jobs. I saw the sunrise one morning and these colors were in the sky. So, the next day I used the colors in this sketch and made up the clouds. (This morning I took a couple of pictures of the sunrise so I could do some actual sky and cloud studies). More tomorrow!Shannon
"Sign of Spring"Completed: 1.3.08ballpoint pan on paper Believe it or not, this sketch started with those little circles in the upper righthand corner. I really didn't know what would happen. As I turned some of the circles into stars, then created the moon, it reminded me of a clear, winter night. I added the designs on the sides, to act as sharp edges of ice and the blowing winds when it is cold. (We had one of those days yesterday!) I ended with the bare, jagged tree, with a little flower - a sign of spring. Shannon
