Art Face off...

I found this website yesterday called Artfaceoff.com

There tagline is "A grassroots project bringing democracy to the world of art." Lofty goal indeed, but an interesting concept. You put a maximum of 24 images up on their site, and your work is rated on a 10 point scale. I like "distributed feedback" that could result from this.. I signed up because I was intrigued. I also inherently like competition. Perhaps it's from running road races. Does the competition pollute the art? Hard to tell, but I think this is a good way to get work exposure on the web.

You can view my and rate my work here.

Do I Like Diebenkorn anymore?

When you believe something so vehemently for years, it's good to come back around to it and try and question what made you come to that belief in the first place.

I still like him. Samantha asked me the otherday what it was, and I said the light. But I think it is really the loneliness of them that provokes me. A kind of hopper-esque world for the suburbs, fractured and grittier. I hadn't thought of how similar they are before.
