Art showcase 1e edition

by Henk ter Heide on Wednesday October 29, 2008

Here’s the first edition of the new Art showcase. For this first edition I’ve received three submission (plus a few from people trying to sell me something :) ).

From A.Decker I got a article about a nice drawing he made last year for his his blog Resonant Enigma. He talks about his way of finding inspiration for his drawings.
Looking over his blog I found that I had made a serious omission when I started this blog carnival. Although I haven’t done many reviews about them the in the last year, photography is also a very important form of art.
On mister Deckers blog I found an other nice article about finding inspiration for photographs.

Todays second entry is a nice art review from the blog The Intellectual Hooligan. The review consists of a few very nice picture of something you might call sculptures by Tara Donovan. Especially the first object made from styrofoam cups is brilliant.
Looking through his older posts I found an article with a very long title: It’s The End! Lexicographers and Linguistics Professors Alike Fall Upon Their Swords! Anarchy! Chaos! Terror Stalks The Land!.
The article is about the problems faced by, among others, the modern artist who wants to show his work on the Internet.

I will be holding the third review in reserve because her server is giving an internal error at this moment.
Hopefully this is a temporary problem. If so I will be reviewing this site next month.

Update: The second edition of the Art showcase will be November 26e, 2008.

If you like the stories I tell. Or like the art and music I show. Feel free to leave a donation.

Not a bad start I’d say. Even though there are few entries, a rather broad range was covered, and I really appreciate being included. That’s very cool that you present posts beyond what we entered. Once it gets going well you won’t have room to do that! :-D
I truly hope you hang in there, Henk. There aren’t enough art blog carnivals out there, and I’m really happy to see this one.

I’ll be back!

Thanks.
Showing more then just one article of an artist is actually the point. But you’re right in that I don’t know if I can keep that up when the blog carnival really starts happening.
I hope so.

regards Henk
