Tuesday 13 May 2008

Robert Rauschenberg past away last night at his home after he was recently treated for pneumonia…
Years ago, I remember looking at the clock as I printed out thumbnail size images of Robert’s paintings, and laughing at myself because it was past 3 am. I was inspired and beyond exhaustion, as I cut out the images […]

In The Mod: Julie West

Thursday 21 June 2007

Julie West: Speaking of Cloud
I love Flickr – when they’re not too busy censoring artwork – because without it, I might not have found Julie West’s wonderful artwork. There’s just something about her style of illustration that fits perfectly into In The Mod. To find out a little bit more about her, to see an […]

In The Mod: Joan MirĂł

Joan MirĂł-Animated Forms
‘By not becoming an official member of the Surrealists, MirĂł was free to experiment with any artistic style that he wished without compromising his position within the group and being accused of not being a “true” Surrealist. He pursued his own interests in the art world, both within and between groups which politicked […]

With the Shins coming to Albuquerque in concert next week, I felt it inspired to add Jesse LeDoux to In The Mod – which I should have done a long time ago. Known for his work at Sub Pop records, including the Grammy nominated cover for The Shins ‘Chutes too Narrow’, LeDoux continues […]
