Michael Barrett
Poppies and portraits. I finished posting my July Mega-gram today - A large image broken into 27 tiles posted over the course of this week.
Michael Breeder is a painter and muralist who mixes graffiti and figurative painting into dense images. They are visual but not physical collages. They feel of the internet even though they’re not from the internet.
🅰️ I didn’t know Michael Ian Black was such a good writer. 🅱️ I want to go there.
Jason Craighead is a traditional abstract expressionist - which feels like a funny thing to say because AbEx is so relatively young. To me, his works evoke weather, wear, and the evidence of time.
This article on embracing compassionate code was republished on DZone recently. Worth a re-read.
Just yesterday I was talking around the edges of the problems he describes and landed on the term “Coding for code’s sake” - software exists to solve problems.
I recently found and purchased a Wade Guyton exhibition catalog online. I didn’t read carefully. I now have a book with many lovely photographs of entirely black printer paintings.
Rhed Fawell creates fascinating embroidered collages.
