If you don’t know anything about being a painter, Andy Warhol clears it all up in this short film clip. This is the entire 20th century in art summed up to perfection by a raving genius.

This is the latest version of a print I’ve been working on that’s loosely based on my Yellow Plastic Raygun film. I printed what I thought was my final version on a large canvas and looked at it for several weeks until I decided that it was timid and boring. So I went back to work and tried to let loose with the image and not worry about mooring the thing in some kind of reality. So this is what I’ve got to show for the effort. I like it much better this way.

I also renamed it from Don’t Turn Back to Don’t Look Now!

Here are the first two versions of the print.

The book is available as a free e-book and as a paperback for purchase.

These are some of the most intelligent comments on art collecting I’ve ever heard.

But his web site is plenty of fun for me and this guy can paint like some serious business.

Go visit Andrew Abbott’s paintings.

Someone at YouTube named Chrspck went into the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on April 10 and shot a photograph of every painting.  Museums and galleries have no business forbidding photography as long as it doesn’t use a flash or get in the way of visitors.  I love seeing all the paintings go by.  It makes me want to go to the museum.

Artist and animator Theodore Ushev created this poster for the purpose of spreading the word about helping victims of the Haiti earthquake. They need enormous help very quickly to prevent even more deaths than have already been suffered. He told me there was no need to ask permission to use the picture. It was created to be used. Thank you to an artist using his magnificent talents to assist in an emergency.

Here are some ways to give assistance:

The Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders and the United Nations Food Program are putting medical supplies, doctors, nurses, food and water on the ground in Haiti to try to prevent the worsening catastrophe and enormous loss of life.

We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.

Pablo Picasso

I’ve learned that David Hockney, one of the greatest artists in the world, is drawing on his iPhone with the same application.  His drawings are much more successful than mine, but it’s fun for anyone to draw with a finger!
