“Do this one cheap (or free) and we’ll make it up on the next one.” “We never pay a cent until we see the final product.” “Do this for us and you’ll get great exposure! The jobs will just pour in!” On looking at sketches or concepts: “Well, we aren’t sure if we want to use you yet, but leave your material here so I can talk to my partner/investor/wife/clergy.” “Well, the job isn’t CANCELLED, just delayed. Keep the account open and we’ll continue in a month or two.” “Contract? We don’t...

  I do not know why I bother posting images.  Any picture I have seen has not done Alex Grey’s work justice.  Grey is far more than the commercial, psychedelic artist he may appear to be; he is a master figure painter, educated anatomist, and a perfectionist-he was touching up one of his paintings during the opening reception.  And, yes, he did the album cover for Tool’s 10,000 Days. The Art of Alex Grey at the Frank M. Doyle Arts Pavilion at Orange Coast College showcases...

  Fifty years ago designers Charles and Ray Eames assembled 22,000 images of common objects for Glimpses of the U.S.A., a film presented at the American National Exhibition in Moscow.  Despite any language barriers among the international audience, Glimpses of the U.S.A. successfully illustrated a thriving, post-war America because of the universality of the objects being shown. What’s The Rush? Topics On Convenience assembles an international group of artists who also draw inspiration from common objects.  Visually, their work is reminiscent of the emerging pop...

Last Saturday I went to a friend’s house… I mean art installation.  I was at an art installation and I had to keep reminding myself I was at an art installation.  There was food in the fridge, slippers by the EZ chair, and a bug zapper on the back porch, but this was not a house.  This was the Great Divide inside the SCA gallery in Pomona.  The Great Divide, organized by Orange County artists Daniel Zarcharczuk, Corey Granados, Ricky Yarnall, Nicole Sloan, Kelly Rice,...
