New Header/Background for Spring/Summer

As you probably noticed, I redesigned a more seamless background and header for spring. I liked the hazy grays of the previous background and header, but it was time to brighten things up for the sunny days ahead. I guess the brilliant sun of Moab this weekend prompted the change.

Memorable Art of 2008 - A Look Back

A month ago (where did that month go?) I put up my music list of the year and it got me thinking about my favorite art or artists experiences/pieces of the year...here it goes...

• In person:

Damien Hirst at the Denver MCA:



Daniel Richter at the Denver Art Museum:



Jenny Morgan collaborative pieces at Object+Thought in Denver:



The "Manifest Hope" exhibition of Obama art in Denver (Shepherd Fairey and other great Juxtapoz artists):

• Found online this year:

Digitally composed photographs by Beate Gütschown after landscape paintings.



Kaye Donachie, "Your untold dreams I love to see", 2005, oil on canvas



Amy Stein "Howl"




There were many more (Romanticism, Tonalism, etc)- but these stood out to me when I went through my blog posts for the year.

2008 was also a year of many blogging experiments - some of which I would like to revisit this year, including:

• Artist Interviews (Leah Giberson, Ane Graff, and Julian Lee)
• Exclusive Art (Bill Amundson, and Jason Stopa)
• How-to
• Inspiration Walls
• Simulacra

Anything you'd like to see more of in 2009? Leave comments please...
