thinking about art by omniasvanitas on Tue May 21, 2013 5:37 pm
We are only as intelligent as the last fact that we learn; our best work is always the last one completed. Our experience feeds our expertise just as stagnancy feeds deterioration. In an age where nothing can be completed fast enough, the individual is idolized. We do things in our fashion, on our own time. We forget the implications of our collective community, planet Earth. We pass each other in the grocery, not making eye contact or wishing a pleasant day to passerbys on the sidewalk. This has serious implications to the artist/viewer relationship, namely the disassociation of art and thought. Most art spaces have degraded to relating art and decoration, or art and pleasure/entertainment. Although art should be pleasing, we cannot forsake the message of art because every single piece created is a statement of culture, identity, as well as becoming a public conversation.
It is said that no two humans see any single color in the same way. We call a certain set of wavelength frequencies...

Houston Comic Con (ComicPalooza) by alanpremel on Mon May 13, 2013 1:52 am
Many of you know that I usually do the San Diego Comic Con. While this event is the largest and most fun out of the comic book conventions it does cost a lot to travel annually to this event as well as securing a decent hotel close to the convention center since there are tens of thousands of guests who attend the event. For years while being in Houston I lobbied and really tried to get a comic con to come to the city and for years it never happened. I moved to Florida as many of you know for 4 years and during that time I guess they decided to start up and have a comic convention in Houston. I inquired about this well over a month ago and was told that there was not a comic convention in Houston. I just found out last night that not only that there is one in Houston it is going to be in two weeks. I tried to wiggle in and get a space last minute and also see if I can get on artist alley but its simply too late. While I will still attend the event and get some VIP passes I am just going...

Writing and Illustrating new Children's book by alanpremel on Sat May 11, 2013 12:12 am
I am proud to announce that I will be creating a new children's book for the United States Marine Corps entitled 'Semper Fry'. The uplifting and motivational adventure journey of a fat overweight spud "potato" from small town middle American and his dream of becoming a US Marine 'lean mean frenh fry fighting machine' as he slims up and enters boot camp where he becomes a slimmer, more agile, alert and motivated skinny fry in his dress blues. While the concept sounds silly to even mention especially in writing I have to remiss that I have found great pleasure, humor and quiet time alone creating the characters besides semper fry. All of which include his arch nemesis waffle fry, short fry, tater tot, Spudly Dudley, scallop and his girlfriend Hannah sweet potato. :D

"Colori e suoni delle origini" di Andrea Benetti by AndreaBenetti on Thu May 09, 2013 11:52 am
Grande successo di pubblico per la mostra “"Colori e suoni delle origini" con 32 opere di Andrea Benetti, la performance musicale di Frank Nemola all'inaugurazione e successiva sonorizzazione, il tutto a cura della professoressa Silvia Grandi.
La mostra era promossa dal DAR Dipartimento delle Arti Visive, Performative, Mediali e dalla “Friends of the Johns Hopkins University”, nonché patrocinata da Regione Emilia Romagna, Provincia e Comune di Bologna. Il successo è stato riconosciuto anche da parte della critica e della stampa, che ha dedicato ampio spazio di approfondimento sull'evento di arte e musica contemporanea. Durante il periodo dell'esposizione è venuta a conoscere Andrea Benetti, e a visitare la mostra, la signora Estela Carlotto, presidentessa delle “Abuelas de Plaza de mayo”, donna emblema della resistenza argentina al regime militare a cavallo tra gli anni settanta ed ottanta, ormai da tre anni in finale per il Nobel per la Pace.
