Talking (or actually writing) about traffic and hits, John Martin over at Art in the City points out an article by Kristin Royce in The Artrepreneur on how to increase traffic to your art blog.
Read "How to Increase Traffic to Your Artist Blog: 7 Free Ways to Promote Your Blog" online here.
John also has a posting announcing that the University of Maryland is now seeking artists to participate in a University sponsored public art project: "Fear the Turtle."Maryland is going to be putting out 50 fiberglass sculptures of Testudo, the school mascot, as a means to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the school. Call for proposals is here and artists can get more info here. The deadline for proposals is October 7, 2005.
I can already hear the heartburn boiling inside a couple of wrathful art blogers (and an art critic or two), neither one of whom (I suspect), has ever set foot inside College Park.
Fear the Turtle! Man... Blake Gopnik is going to love this...
This is pretty neat. They look like stocky teenage mutant ninja turtles. You might also be able to appreciate this.
ReplyDeleteDr. Mark Taylor, of Atlanta Live Media, is auctioning a large family collection of pencil and ink drawings by artist Charles S. Gibson (1892-1973) not to be confused with Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944), who created the Gibson Girl, but they are still really nice pieces of artwork. This art is 100 years old and 75 pieces are available in one bundle.
I REALLY wish I could embed the pictures in this post for you. This is all pen & ink drawings and some of the structures are very impressive - like your post here.
There are also some pretty impressive muscle drawings in this collection - of the face, arms, legs, etc.
So if you are interested, check it out. Who knows, it might inspire you :)
