Bad Tattoos

Bad Tattoos

I had seen a gallery a while back, and had decided to select a few tattoos to highlight. I'm not sure if they are really bad, or really cool? After all, this is coming from someone with a duck tattoo on his back. I recognize the first one with the kid cutting grass/hair as a piece of ClipArt.

Yoko Ono ART

Yahoo News showcases a reprisal of Yoko Ono's 1966 work, To The Light, and brings up the age-old debate "Is it art?" I say so! Whether you understand it, connect to it, or like it is another story.

Yoko Ono is expressing her ideas and beliefs through these artistic exhibitions, thought up in the 60's. They aren't necessarily straight-forward, but neither is the person--in personality, music and style.

The pieces have a spatial composition throughout the gallery that shows thought and creativity went into their existence. The titles will assist those struggling to understand her concepts such is the case of "Three Mounds". Three identical mounds of earth are separated on the floor with the titles Country A, Country B and Country C in front of the classic War Is Over poster she made with John Lennon.

This brings up the point that these are old ideas, which don't have the same impact they may have had in the 60's. She's relying on nostalgia, which is probably great for her financial cause, but fails as evolutionary/revolutionary #9 art. It's art... just a little expired.

LONDON, ENGLAND - JUNE 18: A piece of work entitled 'Three Mounds' by Yoko Ono is displayed at the Serpentine Gallery on June 18, 2012 in London, England. The piece makes up part of an exhibition of the artists work which is currently on show at the Serpentine Gallery which opens from June 19 until September 9, 2012. The show is part of the London 2012 festival, a twelve week UK wide celebration of artists work from across the world.

Sharpie Marker Car

Custom vehicle artwork done with a Sharpie marker...
[View Galler]

Out on the edges of car customizing lives a couple of artists whose trade includes using regular black Sharpie markers to create pieces of art. Chris Dunlop may be the best-known marker in the pack, and this is his latest work, a Sharpie-styled 1999 Ford Mustang GT that took about 50 hours of freehand drawing to finish.

Planters Nutmobile:

In 2011 Planters kicked off their "Naturally Remarkable" tour,

which espoused the ideals of conservationism to Americans across

the country. Mr. Peanut embarked on this nationwide road trip in

the Planters Nutmobile, which is made of environmentally-conscious

materials and runs on biofuel.

Boston Lobster Feast Car: 

Orlando's Boston Lobster Feast Car serves as an apt reminder of

the classic Simpson's episode when Homer adopted Pinchy the lobster

as a pet, accidentally boiled him in the bathtub, and ate him without

sharing, because "he would have wanted it that way." Tough, but fair.

Alexa Meade photos imitate paintings

Jaimie, Alexa Meade

Artist Alexa Meade, who lives and works in Washington, D.C., creates photographs that could easily be mistaken for paintings. However, as she explains, "Instead of painting a picture on a two dimensional canvas, I paint directly on top of my subjects in three dimensional space. The photographs of the painted scenes look like flat paintings without the assistance of Photoshop or digital manipulation."

“This shot was taken during our family tour [of] Iceland. The waterfall is called Seljalandsfoss. During this trip we used a motor home, so we camped about 500 meters from the [beautiful] waterfall. Before our dinner at 10 p.m., I took this image with the sunset colors.” Cast your vote and weigh in on the best shots at http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/your-shot/voting-machine.
