New from Jeremy Lipking: The Portrait Sketch on DVD.

American Artist workshop with Jeremy Lipking

Friday, August 31st, 2007

Back in March, I took a 3 day workshop with Jeremy. It was wonderful, and you can read about the whole thing at myamericanartist.com (indeed, that’s me pointing at the canvas in the second photo).

If you want to take a workshop with him, you should just call the California Art Institute and ask them to put your name on the waiting list for the next one – by the time it’s on the website, it’s probably sold out.

Weekend in LA

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Lots of neat things happening this weekend.

On Saturday, Graphaids West LA returns with their 40% off sale, all day.

You could also take in the Make Magazine Launch Party, at 5:30PM, or head over to Abbot Kinney to check out the Los Angeles leg of the Worldchanging Tour, Equator Books, 7:30PM.

On Sunday, go check out the Dresden paintings at the Getty.

Or if you want to go upscale and maybe find some high-end holiday gifts, check out the Modern Design Auction and get your Noguchi on.

And definitely check out the bizarre and wonderful design by John Baldessari for LACMA’s Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images.

ok to go outside the lines…

Color my underwear important.

And people say I have too much time on my hands.

Lady Cottington’s Pressed Fairy book ain’t got nothin’ on this.

Those indeed are real bird parts, lovingly flattened and pasted down into books.
