Challenge: Create an image out of a word, using only the letters in the word itself. Rule: Use only the graphic elements of the letters without adding outside parts.

          A nonprofit group seeking to end ignorance of a deadly conflict in Africa has issued an apology for pasting their campaign posters over one of Los Angeles’ best known street murals

          The group, Falling Whistles, admits it “screwed up” this week when it covered the mural, known as “Only Time Will Tell,” at 2nd and Garey streets in the heart of the Arts District. Falling Whistles director Sean Carasso issued a letter of apology and acknowledged the gaffe.

              Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests

              Posted on September 13, 2011 by Administrator Barnhard Blog

              It’s a retro post … still cool!
              Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention Episode 1 Preview – BBC One

              Kinetic sculptor and artist Theo Jansen builds ‘strandbeests’ from yellow plastic tubing that is readily available in his native Holland.

              The graceful creatures evolve over time as Theo adapts their designs to harness the wind more efficiently. They are powered only by the wind and even store some of the wind’s energy in plastic bottle ‘stomachs’ to be used when there is no wind.

                      Margin Call

                      Posted on August 9, 2011 by Administrator Barnhard Blog

                      Margin Call is een Hollywoodfilm over de laatste 24 uur van de investment bank. Niet het best uitgebouwd qua characters, menselijk drama. Wel erg on topic: hoe we van zekerheid bij mekaar hangen. “It’s not called panic if you’re first out the door,” as one character crisply observes.

                              Shea Hembrey – Creating 100 artists for the fun of it

                              Posted on June 19, 2011 by Administrator Barnhard Blog

                              (via.) Artist Shea Hembrey in the midst of planning to curate a biennale, decides that instead of traveling the world to find art for his exhibition, it would be easier if he just made up names and biographies for 100 artists and did all the work himself. The work must be about what he could explain to his grandma in less than five minutes. And its process must engage the three “H’s” of head, heart, and hand.
                              Crazy, genius, funny, and really, really good. Moreover, did selling art to the public look ever more simple? Great artists, even minimal in peak talent need little convincing. Now go out there creating art people..

                                          Your taste is why your own work disappoints you

                                          Posted on May 8, 2011 by Administrator Barnhard Blog

                                          Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit.
