		<title>Art Video Series: Sketches #2 and #3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



Above are two recordings of digital sketches I made on the afternoon of Friday, January 30. 
The top video is merely a first pass at an idea. The video below that is a remix of that original idea &#8212; pushing the idea of the first video a step further.
I should note that these videos offer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Abstract video art: In the studio January 27, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As an experiment, I thought I&#8217;d start recording my screen as I sketch new designs for paintings, then time-lapse the process a bit. The result is kind of like abstract video art. 
I just think that something gets lost when the progression of a design is not recorded step for step. Also, on the way [...]]]></description>

		<title>A found Frederick Hammersley painting</title>

A once-anonymous abstract painting owned by Laurie Pike was recently determined to be the work of legendary hard-edge painter Frederick Hammersley.
The &#8220;found&#8221; Hammersley painting is titled One Pair and is dated 1960.
Frederick Hammersley is one of my favorite painters, and I&#8217;ve written about him considerably.
With Ms. Pike&#8217;s consent, I would like to share the story [...]]]></description>

		<title>In the studio January 17, 2010: Abstract pop art?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Work in progress: A painting called Hypermodic Spastaculatron, as of 5pm on January 17, 2010. Lots of fluorescent paint going on. Is it abstract pop art, or something entirely different?

The latest news from my studio is this:
My Spring/Summer 2010 collection of paintings is officially &#8220;on.&#8221; Projected launch date is May 15, 2010. 
This will be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Detergent boxes: Graphic inspiration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Image via daniele_lavamat on flickr

Over the holidays, I rediscovered my love for detergent boxes &#8212; especially vintage detergent boxes. I love how their graphic swirls and shapes are designed to arrest the eye. Beyond that, there&#8217;s something ineffably cool about the way detergent boxes have &#8220;all-over&#8221; compositions &#8212; they use all available space. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vintage soccer jerseys</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Images via classicfootballshirts.co.uk

From an art and design perspective, I find soccer jerseys are a tremendous source of inspiration. For new and recent jerseys, subside.co.uk is a great place to scan the latest looks of the world&#8217;s clubs. And for vintage shirts, I fancy classicfootballshirts.co.uk; you&#8217;ll find hours of eye-popping color combinations and patterns there.
I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>
