Pictures are Worth 1000
So, I have to say one of my favorite artistic sites ever is Worth 1000. It is a veritable visual smorgasbord! They have revolving contests for artists, writers and any other creatives to flex their creative muscles. I love the end products, and I'm sure you might be quite familiar with them. Some of the photoshop contest entries are so well created, people mistake them for real photos.Here is an advanced piece in the photoshop Contest titled "Relaxation."
Here are a few I have entered in the past. If you have a yearning to mess with a celebrities face or enter a logo contest, check out Worth1000.com
Shoe Junkies UNITE!
Ok, so if you know anything about me, you know I LURRRRRVVE shoes! I paint them, I wear them, I admire the costly "can't-haves-quite-yet" and the "oh-don't-even -bother-dreaming -about-them" pedi pedestals we call shoes. Heels, preferably for me. So I was gobstruck when I came onto a website devoted wholeheartedly to some of the most amazing, outlandish, garrish and even some incredibly impossible shoes. I could spend and admit, have spent hours drooling and giggling over the array that they have listed.
The purveyors are Liza Snook and Taco Zwaanswijk, whom reside in Holland. Two shoe junkies on a mission to pluck the most obscure to the most sensual shoe you will ever find, all on one site. So fill your shoe fetish at The Virtual Shoe Museum.
Here are a few samples to tide you over before you jump to thier page.

17th annual El Corazon Exhibit at the Bath House
It was a warmer than usual January evening at the Bath House Cultural Center. I was excited as this was is my first gallery showing in Dallas. There were tons of people and an enormous buzz to the place. Elbow to elbow, we made our way through the show and found some really amazing art. There was an a student area for school age kids. I loved it because they even had their explanations of their art written out.
WE had a blast, met some really cool people and enjoyed a really great show. I hope I get to do it again next year!
