2008 Beijing Olympics Uniforms
The world is going to have its eyes on the Olympics this summer, so what are the athletes going to wear? This year, Team USA will be wearing Polo Ralph Lauren designs. The athletes need clothing for several occasions and will be supplied with outfits for formal and informal situations, as well as leisure-wear. Who knows how Team USA will represent our country athletically, but at least they'll look good doing it. I don't know about the Canadians (pictured above), though...

God Speaks to His Artists and Designers
Many of my online community have let me know that one thing that they desire is to hear from God on what He wants them to do with their gift.
The method of receiving the answer is easy, following through and doing it is what I’ve always found to be the challenge: Your one-on-one quiet time alone with God is the key to hearing His voice: Many of my online community have let me know that one thing that they desire is to hear from God on what He wants them to do with thei... more -

Art in Motion with Action Artist Matt Cheney
Few artists can say they created a painting while free falling from an airplane."
- Dana Ranill of Fuel.tv
Few artists can say they created a painting while free falling from an airplane. For 25-year-old action artist Matt Cheney, it’s all in a day’s work. Though it may seem unconventional, action sports are as much a form of artistic expression as they are competitive sports. And Cheney has further explored the idea of action sports as art by integrating activities like snowboarding, skateboarding and skydiving with oil painting. Here’s how…
Cheney’s action art is inspired by abstract painters like Jackson Pollock and Saburo Murakami who defined action painting during the abstract expressionist movement of the Post WWII era. Intrigued by the performative nature of action painting, Cheney uses various action sports (which he loves) to create the movement behind his work. Working with a crew of several people, Cheney uses video cameras and still photography to document the visual experience of his paintings. “The whole process for how it’s done, from the oil paints to mixing the pigments and thinking about the composition, is free spirited and spontaneous. I love the idea of preserving a moment in time.” For his senior project at the Art Institute of Boston, Cheney built a halfpipe in a studio and created paintings like Pink on Black while skating up and down the halfpipe Few artists can say they created a painting while free falling from an airplane." - Dana Ranill of Fuel.tv ... more -
The Ink Tripper
Like the collective visions of some fashionable techno-Haida lost in Harajuku, the illustrations of Edinburagh via Berlin via Vancouver artist Acorn are concise examples of disassociated splendor. With fine lines of pencil, ink and brush, the characters that flow forth from Acorn’s chosen mediums are immediately alive - soft-pedaling their dreamy naivety on an always unassuming viewer. Like the collective visions of some fashionable techno-Haida lost in Harajuku, the illustrations of Edinburagh via Berlin via Vancouve... more
