Prints and the Revolution is an editorial from V51 starring Jessica Stam and Luke Worrall. It has this summery vibe with colors spattered everywhere (looks very similar to Dolce and Gabbana's Spring-Summer 2008 Ad Campaign and coincidentally, Stam was also there). Another thing, Stam's make-up is quite identical to her make-up on Christian Dior's Fall 2006 Haute Couture show.. haha! What's happeni

If the printer hasn´t been used for a while this can happen.The first thing to try is to run a head clean from the printers properties box and go to the maintenance tab, run various cleans and print a few pages until the printing improves(note this uses quite a bit of ink so you might have to get a refill).If after many prints the print output is the same then you should try replacing the culprit

Yes, Bagfetish readers.. you got that right. As we've heard from reliable sources, the Anya Animal Print bags will cease to exist after this season.

The only Chloé in my life right now is my puppy's dear friend, Chloé the boxer, who happens to live down the street from us. Seeing them play is reeeally cute, but this blog is about fashion so let's talk about Chloé, the French luxury fashion design house, instead.
On our radar as the weather begins to warm is Chloé's Spring 2008 ready-to-wear collection: It's gorgeous. Everything is ethereal, youthful, modern and smart. And what really stands out are the inspiring painterly prints (meaning, it looks like some free-spirited artist grabbed a big paint brush, drenched it in deep indigo blues, light pinks, purples and such, and then splashed broad brush strokes of color onto sheer chiffon frocks, tops and skirts). It leaves you feeling sort of breathless, doesn't it?

Edited from an article by Bruce Eggler in the Times-Picayune: Printmakers may have lost a round in their struggle for display space on Jackson Square's fence and sidewalks, but the battle is likely to continue, with the outcome very much in doubt. Rejecting the suggestion of U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle, the New Orleans City Council last week refused to change the law that says only original artworks can be sold on the coveted French Quarter turf, an al fresco gallery strolled by millions of tourists a year. Artist Holly Sarre, who also sells her works on the Internet and at a local art gallery, filed a suit in federal court in March 2005 challenging the ordinance that allows sales only of works that "have been accomplished essentially by hand" and bans "any mechanical or duplicative p
Unfair comparisons are often drawn between floral prints and Laura Ashley or Little House on the Prairie. I say "unfair" because, as British designer Luella Bartley so cleverly proves with her Spring 2008 ready-to-wear collection, floral prints can be fierce. It's all in how you style them (and to a lesser extent where you buy them, because let's face it, the florals at Eddie Bauer won't pass for fashionable no matter how you work those buds).
So yeah, we're lovin' Luella and her diminutive, ditsy print designs. These sweet blossoms have an old-school edge that makes them good enough to pluck - and with our budget-friendly finds (they're everywhere these days!) you can afford to update your Spring wardrobe with an entire bouquet.

[aggh! this post didn't post last night when it was supposed to! CURSES.][thanks for doing my work for me, WhoWhatWearDaily!]My fashion news sources tell me that prints are losing steam season by season. I'd never thought about it, but once I did, I realized that yeah, most people aren't walking around in anything other than solid colors. And for sure, the trends I've been into most are all about solid colors and definitely devoid of patterns. Not sure why this is...maybe people are letting the vintage-look trend peter out (a patterned blouse or dress can automatically signal "vintage" or be an easy fake) in favor of futuristic styling with solid colors. I mean, think about robots. Robots NEVER wear prints.On the flip side, though, the hot new thing that occasionally performs as a print is

The Pig's Head in West Midland's Police's Fridge No DNA, No Finger Prints, No Comment Last week I made a point of writing the piece " Pigs Head in Custody" concerning the West Midlands Police's hunt for missing pig's trotters. The week before, a pig's head had been thrown into a Muslim Community Centre. West Midlands Police were treating it as a racist incident. This week the intrigue continues thanks to the intrepid Sutton Coldfield News. As predicted, West Midlands Police have not determined what breed of pig the head belonged to nor have they outline the results of any forensics carried out. West Midlands Police currently have their head in the sand and continue to deny racism or extremism that has existed in the area for sometime. Afterall, Middle England has a position to maintain! Th

With over eight million subscribers world wide, World of Warcraft is the largest MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role playing game) in history. Chances are very good that the geek in your life has another life in this world. Here is a gift idea that caught me entirely by surprise. Figure Prints can recreate your geek’s own World of Warcraft character as a fully detailed 3D replica figure. You can even choose the armor and weapons that they use from the items in your character’s inventory. Here are a few sample pictures.
So why would this be such a good gift idea for a WoW geek? Well, I know from experience that people a LOT of time into developing these characters. In many cases they get very attached to their alternate universe alter egos. So having a real life representation of that character that you could touch and look at would be very appealing.

Having just finished putting together a darkroom, I thought it was time to update the black and white photographs offered in the fine art prints gallery.
It has been many, many years since I have printed my own work. In fact, an overwhelming majority of my work has never been printed at all, except for a few digital proofs here and there, and one or two chemical prints made by a local lab.
Because of this, I am starting at the beginning, working my way forward chronologically through all my negatives. New images will be posted periodically as they are printed, most likely about once a week. Keep an eye on the print gallery for new additions.
A few notes on process; I am printing on an Omega D2 enlarger, modified to use a Zone VI cold light head. Paper of choice is Seagull-Oriental double weight fiber base using Ilford Cooltone developer.

Canvas Prints by Canvas Dezign
Canvas prints are fast becoming a contemporary way of decorating living rooms, and sitting places all over UK and Europe. A canvas print is essentially a print reproduction of a photo or artwork on canvas. The patterns and designs used are what define and make canvas prints special. Cheaper than commissioning a painting, yet as elegant and eye catching as any
I am reading Walter Benjamin. He seems to think that in the age of mechanical reproduction art looses its AURA.
Aside: We are not in that mechanical age, so much creativity is virtual.
My images are open source, and I think that if others print them then there is less “aura” than in the signed limited editions? Is there?
We are flooded with images and even art, does that degrade aura? It is a time of some art having something, due to the millions it is sold for. Is that aura? Is celebrity status aura? (Benjamin thinks we hype the celebrity thing up because auras are on the decline) (He also thinks the loss of aura is a good thing as the masses can have more art - strange essay).
What happens as you comment or link to an image? Copy it to your blog? Does the communal context build new aura? I like some of the work other bloggers do and have it on my wall! Is there aura there? They are not signed works, would that help?

A Guide to Investing in Limited Edition Prints
The recent interest in art as an investment has exposed a lack of knowledge of, and appreciation for original limited edition prints, which have proven to be a very good investment providing that you the do the appropriate research and follow certain criteria.
Most artist’s produce limited edition prints at some stage of their career which means that there is a wide variety of works to choose from. Genuine fine art editions provide collectors and investors with the benefits of purchasing artworks by leading artists but at a lower entry point than a painting or drawing. Unfortunately, the wide variety of printing methods and the technical jargon associated with the different printing processes can make the limited edition print market very daunting for the uninitiated.
As the name implies, limited edition prints such as woodcuts, etchings, collagraphs etc. are created using a process to reproduce an image that an artist has crea
