Concept art

cool statement on concept art here

to quote the article:
"People assume (Booker Prize-winners are good authors), often without reading the books, just as they assume the opposite about the Turner Prize, often without having seen the shortlisted artists' work. And for no better reason than that most of us had a verbal education up to at least 18, and a visual education that stopped at around seven. We trust authors not to gull us only because we trust ourselves to be able to tell if they're trying to. Maybe the answer for anyone feeling enraged by Starling's shed (boatshed) is to find themselves a little evening class."

This is a wonderful launching off point for a rant... maybe next time.

Looking for a few good Arts Blogs

Found a couple under the artsjournal community:
http://www.artsjournal.com/visualarts/ - general arts infromation
http://www.artsjournal.com/herman/ - on arts and culture and so on
Artopia - on arts specifically
Modern Art Notes - contemporary art notes

generally like the deviant art community...

A news blog about the arts: The Art News Blog

another new spot art daily has some relevant information worth checking out from time to time

Any other favourites out there?
