  1. I googled 'how to get oil paint to dry quickly' and this is what came up first. Might seem helpful. http://rourkevisualart.com/wordpress/2006/09/20/how-to-get-oil-paint-to-dry-quickly/ I personally would have used one quarter liquin with the oil mixed, but I don't have any personal suggestions on what to do after the paint has already been applied. I hope everything worked out well for you!
  2. With a guy like Peter Halley at the head of the graduate painting department at Yale, I kind of doubt that the school is still persuing that sort of style, but who knows..
  3. I just sent this into threadless.com. Anyone else participate in that site?
  4. this thread made me want to marry my taiwanese ex-girlfriend.
  5. Yea, I couldnt help but think of earsnot when I posted that shirt. haha
  6. HEY SPEAKING OF BLACK FLAG CHECK THIS OUT!
  7. I think Obama can manage to transcend any racial prejudices brought upon by most WASPS with his brains and charisma. While whites historically vote in greater numbers than minorities, I think seeing a guy like Obama on the ballot will galvanize minorities to vote in far greater numbers. I've got high hopes for the man. OBAMA '08!
  8. This shits scary like that thread with North Korean architecture in Channel Zero. It's like Escher painting on a bad trip commissioned by some evil empire. (shiver)
  9. Well that makes perfect sense
  10. Good find abusei. I caught that article as well. Here's an interesting bit of trivia that I so happened to catch in National Geographic today - Jean Claude and Christo were born on the same day and same hour. The latest issue has an interview of the two with questions regarding the most recent proposed piece, 'Over the River', an on-site installation of cloth running down the Arkansas River in the Colorado Rockies. Here is one of the prepatory sketches- And some work done in the past-
  11. The second one is all spray paint. Canvas wrapped over 8 x 4 ft plywood.
  12. Thanks dude Everything but the face was taped for the drivers side and front Nothing was taped for the passengers side and back I was surprised I managed to get the clean lines that I did for the back, but good old fashioned Krylon flat black with a ny thin always makes the cut
  13. Nice stuff in here. Wish more people would contribute though. Just finished this the other day-
  14. Nice flicks LARRY. I just finished a biography on Johnson, which is why I knew he was gay. After reading the book, I have come to conclude that I should just simply presume that every guy who is involved in the arts is gay unless mentioned otherwise. It astounded me, the shear number of well known gay people mentioned in that book. Gay gay gay.
  15. I'm glad I found some fans of the ..um..International Style. Here is some work from Janet Echelman. My friend works for her. The lucky bitch. http://www.echelman.com
  16. Mies Van der Rohe The Farnsworth House, Plano, Illinois
  17. Gerrit Rietveld - The Rietveld Schröder House Wikipedia says it is the only building realised completely according to the principles of the De Stijl movement.
  18. Gay like Philip Johnson The Glass House New Canaan, Conn
  19. You were looking at his eyes? Um.. your gay.
  20. I fucking hate dogs. You know I once ate dog? It was for a wedding. I didn't even bother attending the ceremonies. I just went there to eat dog. And I thought it was just fucking delicious. I also don't like Imdead's style. Why does everyone sweat this guy? He can't even do a tag right. Good post.
  21. This higher income move back to the cities can be a good thing when done with the appropriate dose of urban planning. The trick is to arrange a tight-knit area into stratas, where there is a seperation of income, but only a subtle one, to ensure an almost-equal opportunity to access the needs of the entire community. Developments which create sharp divisions without a multi-tiered approach can form tensions that are often seen in cities such as Chicago, or D.C., where gentrification does not deserve the euphamism 'urban renewal' because of its lack of a holistic approach. The mixed income communities that I have seen in Vancouver and Toronto leave me surprised to know that they continue to exist. The concept is good, but up front it appears too idealistic. I wonder if there are incentives that are made to influence the upper tier into moving into such a neighborhood. Maybe there are such incentives. Does anyone know how those communities really work?
