Alan Kitchen, "Spirit Extra" (1), Gouache on Paper, 6x6", 2009

I helped my friend Alan put up the framework for a website last night to prepare for his addition to New American Paintings. You can see the site here.

These are screen captures of web-cams at night. Here are the live versions.

My Parents

I've been meaning to mention this on my blog for some time now - I made a website/blog for my parents (semi) recently that showcases their art and photography. As previously mentioned, I am very fortunate and thankful to come from artistically inclined families on both sides. My parents express their art in different ways, mostly because of the contrast of their right-brained/left-brained personalities. My Dad has been making great doodle/drawings on meeting notes for years, and we've finally started documenting them. My Mom works a lot with collage and multi-media. Check out their work!

It is Official

NathanAbels dot com has returned. I finally got all the codes, transfers, etc. figured out and my new site is done. The new site also has a blog but that blog will focus more exclusively on my art - news, openings, new works, press...This blog will continue to be about inspiration, artists, music, film, and whatever else is interesting me at the time. Check out the new site and once again - thanks for stopping by here.

I'm on Artist-A-Day!

You can leave your comments about my work and/or rate me. Fun times. I'm a real average artist right now (2.6/5) but you can change that!

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

New Website Update

I've been improving and updating my new website. This site has several new features that were not a part of my last website including; exhibitions (documentation, press, installation views), new categories of photography (aerial abstractions, light glare series, and other noteable photos), a very thorough documentation of my press and blog coverage, and video. This will be my dot com in a few weeks. In the mean time you can find it here;

Press: Hess&Hodi

The blog called Hess&Hodi states that it is " a virtual gallery dedicated to showcasing affordable (generally under $300) works of art. We curate our way through the affordable art sludge so you don't have to." They did a feature of some of my work from shopSCAD and wrote some very kind words. You can find the feature here. Thanks Hess&Hodi!

New Website!

In aproximately two weeks my NathanAbels.com website will no longer be with earthlink and will cease to exist in its current form. Nathanabels.com will still exist as a domain but it will now be hosted on a wordpress blog site. I combined the capabilities of wordpress and flickr to make a nice new site with lots of new information that will be much easier for me to update. I now have images from recent exhibitions - with press links, installation photos, and images from the pieces I had in each show. Take a look around and tell me what you think!

Website Update

I updated the Nathanabels.com website yesterday. I moved all the work that was in "New Work" to "Paintings" and put all of my new drawings up.

New Sliding Door Gallery.Com

I redesigned the new Sliding Door Gallery.com using a blogger site called wordpress. Check it out:

Miranda July video for Blonde Redhead

Artist Miranda July ("Me, You, and Everyone We Know") did a video titled "Top Ranking" for the band Blonde Redhead that can be viewed (or downloaded) here from the Directors Bureau. Found via Fette's Flog.

Also - check out her web project Learning to Love you More - with various creative assignments like "Record the Sound that is Keeping You Awake" or "Make a Flier of Your Day" among many others.

Een Per Dag - One Per Day

I've joined some contemporaries across cyberspace in the blog titled "Een Per Dag" - or One Per Day - where members post a new photo each day. Check it out.
