Every artist dips his brush in his own soul,

and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Gorman's Point of the Day:

4. Maintain Your Support Material. Get into the habit of updating your support material at least every three months. Your support material consists of your resume, artist statement, biography, recent articles in the press, and photography of recent work. The best way to store your resume, artist statement, and biography is on a computer. If you don't have your own computer get your material stored on a disk that you can take to a duplicating business or to a computer center. Your support material also includes labeled slides of recent work along with an inventory sheet that has retail prices on it.You should have a filing system that makes all of these parts of your packet easily available so that you can assemble a packet within 10 minutes at most. This material should be at your fingertips. At all times you should have at least five copies of your resume, artist statement, and press. A three-ring notebook is a good way to store your original master list of slides, along with duplicated sheets of labeled slides.
As you become more involved in your career, you will run into situations in which you need to get your support material out in a hurry. Always have Priority Mail or Federal Express envelopes available for overnight and second-day delivery. When your material is updated, well organized, and easily accessible, it will make your professional life a lot easier. You will also be better prepared to explore different opportunities because you will know that you have this material in a presentable form and ready to go.

Maybe you noticed the albino alligator yesterday at the end of my blog?  Found another one-  this time sculpted of Oreo filling.  Oreo Sculptures by Alexander Barrett , as appearing on Facebook-  see the descriptions if you embiggen the images.  And don't ever take a dare.

Another attempt is a sloth, this time made from the wafers.  OMG.

Budapest photographer Kalmar Madhava prints portraits directly on stones-from his blog:  "In the past few weeks I have been working on a new project, I enlarged pictures on stones. The idea is based on the topic of Identity which I think always has been a need for humans. We identify ourselves even without knowing it, our clothes, hairstyle, language speaks for itself, they show where we belong. I think a person has many identities, I consider myself Hungarian and also a photographer, I would say I am a liberal, but apart from this there is a core where these statuses come from which can not be explained by single words. This is what I tried to catch in this project.The stone is one of the most ancient materials of the earth, and have always been used by people to express themselves, from the rock paintings to contemporary sculptors. Every stone is unique, it forms slowly by the power of nature, just as our identity does and it also has a story just as we have. Because of this if I print a portrait on a stone, they start to live together, and become one."
