Dan Freund manipulated images, Tina Blondell and Louie Metz paintings.
Dan Freund playing with images
I don’t agree with Dan Freunds quote of Andy Warhol that art is what you can get away with. Although it might be true for someone as famous as Andy.
Playing around with image manipulations might not be art but if you do it as skillful as Dan Freund it does lead to some very nice pictures
Tina Blondell’s strange ladies
A few months ago I featured an artist who painted tattoos. This next artist is somewhat reminiscent of him except for the fact that I don’t think that she is painting real people.
Tina Blondell paints naked woman with a pattern painted on their skin. The patterns give the paintings something odd but still interesting.
Louie Metz’s lovely ladies
After the last two artist you may be glad to see these paintings. Most are also of women but in this case painted the way women should be painted. Very nice.
(I also found a little mystery. If you have a Flickr account sign in before visiting this artist. When you do this set consists of 64 paintings. If your logged out it only contains 11 paintings.
I have no idea if this happens a lot or only with this artist.)

Paintings by Tina Manthorpe and Karin Jurick and abstract drawings by Sting Chen.
Watercolors by Tina Manthorpe
Tina Manthorpe has a set of what I think are watercolors but they don’t look like regular watercolors.
I’m not sure but I think that because they are painted on thick paper. Paper that won’t allow the color to flow. So instead you get blobs of paint. Which has a very nice effect.

I ain’t an artist
I would call these pen and ink drawing by Sting Chen abstract.
Actually I’m at a loss as to what they are supposed to portray. At most the remind me of something I saw on television in a show about tumors. A bit creepy but still fascinating.
Karin Jurick’s paintings
Karin’s website isn’t very easy to navigate. Starting at her paintings page you get a nice collection of thumbnails of her paintings. Scroll down to the bottom of some pages and you’ll find a link to pages with clickable thumbnails.
Still the paintings are quite nice and somewhat unexpected.
