Artsy Fartsy Friday: Halloween edition

Friday, October 31, 2008


Originally, I intended to post something completely different for this weeks Artsy Fartsy. However, I woke up this morning to an email from reader, Jaime S., with this little cartoon. I just found it so funny that I had to share! Click to enlarge!




Also, since this is Artsy Fartsy, I thought I'd link you all to one of my favorite contemporary painters. His name is Élan Vital. His paintings are somewhat abstract, however they are absolutely gorgeous and unique. Should you like his paintings, I would suggest that you explore his site a bit further. He provides some insight as to how creates each individual piece out of finely ground minerals and pigments. Truly impressive. Below you will find one of his pieces:
