• Etch A Sketch Art - George Vlosich - The artist George Vlosich has a video posted on YouTube.com that has been viewed more than 1,600,000 times. It's of him doing an Etch A Sketch drawing for the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
• Doll Face Short Film by Andy Huang - I found this fascinating little short film on Jafabrit's blog. It's by Andy Huang and is called "Doll Face".
• Francis Bacon on YouTube - You would think that an online video sharing site wouldn't benefit a painter (or any static visual art) much, but I can easily lose an hour or two browsing through the site. Just do a search for your favorite artist on YouTube and there's a pretty good chance that you will find videos by or about them. A lot of contemporary emerging artists are doing interesting things on YouTube too.
• MTV Art Battles - Art Battles is a live-art competition where artists create work side- by-side in front of a live audience. For six years Art Battles have been a platform for talented artists to showcase their skills in and around NYC in a most unique setting and under tremendous pressure to perform.
• Box of Love - I received a box of love in the post recently. It's a cardboard box, painted by the abstract painter Franck de Las Mercedes, with a label that says "Handle with care, Fragile, Contains: LOVE".
• Coffee Art in a Mug - I like it when my passions cross over. Like when art meets wine or when nature meets art. I have also recently discovered that art has also met coffee! I wouldn't say that coffee is a great passion of mine, but I can't ctop drinking the stuff, so I must have some kind of connection with it.
• Private Viewing of a Modern Art Auction - Here's a private viewing of the May 8 Impressionist & Modern art auction in New York with David Norman of Sotheby's. Norman talks about a "resplendent" watercolor still-life by Paul Cezanne, a Rose period portrait of harlequin by Pablo Picasso, and a highly abstracted oil by Joan Miro, painted at the height of the Surrealist movement.
• Artist Documentaries Online - Gabriel Shaffer - Art Scene Asheville is a series of artist documentaries by Ursula Gullow, profiling working artists in Asheville. They're put together really well too, which can be refreshing after watching a bunch of artist videos on YouTube.com.
• Photoshop Videos - For those that are yet to discover what you can do with digital software like Adobe Photoshop, here's a timelapse video of a portrait being created.
• Finger Painting Child Prodigy - Here's a video of a finger-painting child prodigy working on a Ninja Turtle picture. My bet is it's a fake.. but stranger things have happened. There's a link to the TurtleKid.com website at the end of the video, which is very commercial, which possibly confirms my suspicions.
• Who is Banksy? - Banksy, Banksy, Banksy.. this guy seems to be everywhere. The mainstream media love publishing stuff on this guy. Andy Warhol would be proud of the inches published on Banksy over the past 18 months. (Video of Banksy in Palenstine)
• Christopher Lees Painting Video - Leith has let me know of this painting video below on YouTube. It's of the Australian painter Christopher Lees working on a large painting called "Harmony Reign". It's set to classical music and really works. It was also quite frustrating for me as I don't have a studio to paint in!
• Free Hugs - Something not very related to art, but something that noone can have too much of; FREE HUGS! The hugger is Juan Mann and the music is from the Sick Puppies.
• Sotheby's Contemporary Art Auction - A new marketing tool they have discovered is the use of video online. For the promotion of an upcoming contemporary art auction, there's a video now online of Tobias Meyer (Worldwide Head of Contemporary Art and Principal Auctioneer) discussing some of the important works available.
