Check out OK GO's video for "The Writing's on the Wall". Along with bright color and movement, the OPTICAL ILLUSIONS are genius!

Jennifer Steinkamp graced her presence upon the Portland Art Museum for a lecture of her work 5/17/14. You should see her video work. I liken it to moving paintings; the kind I would create. Maya is her tool.

A few times a week I spend sketching and staring out the window (with iced tea) in preparation for studio time.  Most often it is at East Vancouver McMenamins. So when people ask me, "Where do you hang out?" This is the place, and I am often alone.  Image source: cynthia mosser

Swiss artist, Zimoun, has created "Wall of Sound", an installation of cardboard boxes, small motors and ping pong-sized balls. Located at the Beall Center for Art + Technology on the UC Irvine campus, this beating drum-like show is actually quite soothing, rather than jarring. Through May 3, 2014. Image source: Jenny H.

Elsa MORA, a Cuban-raised artist, creates intricately stitched fabric assemblages, and intricately cut paper works that have a strong connection to folk art. What I love about this piece is the combination of the figure with an illustrated head. Inside the oval it appears to be a window to the mind. And it is my mind to which it is a window! NOTE: I have extensively searched the Internet for an image directly related to the source. I could come up with Elsa Mora and her blog only. http://www.artisaway.com/ Image source: artisaway.com

Darren Waterston's painting, "In-Between", 2002 (oil on canvas mounted on board), is one I admire for its attention to detail, every time I visit the Portland Art Museum (OR, USA).
