Clint Imboden

You wouldn't know it by walking through my neighborhood at first glance, but there is so much talent within these few blocks known as "Jingletown". Sure there's plenty of character, but I had no idea when I moved here how many professional artists lived within a stones throw from me. I first viewed Clint Imboden's work via neighborhood art walk, and was reminded of his talent via the Autobody gallery (where I am starting an internship) What an inspiration, I adore the aesthetic qualities of his work.

art star pt. 2?

So Bravo has produced some interesting reality TV via Project runway... But have any of the contestants, including winners, reached the cult status of "next big name in american fashion" as producers have intended? It seems a lot of them continue to struggle with their brands and identity in the cut throat industry known as fashion. The NY times is reporting on Bravo's new efforts to expose contemporary artists in a similar way. I have the feeling that the show will likely be great to watch but will also fail to produce a real gutsy "art star."D-list celebrity maybe, but I'm not sure the serious art collectors are going to go after work featured on a cable tv show...if anything they will avoid it like the plague. This is not an original idea by Bravo, "Art Star" (which I have yet to see) was premiered in 2006 on Gallery HD (now defunct). It seems everyone's a designer these days after Project Runway...and the contemporary art market is already saturated with a lot of over hyped talentless people. Let's not feed the machine please.

R.I.P DASH SNOW

How strange to read of his death today. He was always a bit of an art star enigma to me. I was equally impressed/perplexed by his unique art stardom. So elusive and had a chosen lifestyle completely in contrast to the art world that supported him. Was it his disinterest in the art world that made his work so interesting? He obviously lived on the edge. And for some reason I feel less sympathetic when I hear of death via drug over-dose (who really is to blame here?), especially when kids are involved or in this case left behind. It will be interesting to learn the details of his life and work as they continue to unfold.
