I used the Warning Label Generator to make this.

I used the Warning Label Generator to make this.
Jason says “I announce a coup d’etat against the evil specters of angst-mongering, diluted sentimentality, and other repulsive outmoded garbage that masquerades as contemporary art.”
He backs it up with some loud edgy little (well, little on the web - I’m not sure how big in real life) paintings.
Some very nice drawings.
This is extremely cool.
A group picture - you draw up to 100 pixels of line per visit, and then vote on how opaque each existing line should be.
Give it a try. Then let me know what you felt about it.
With all the ugliness around lately, take a look at this artist’s use of color. The world isn’t all ugly.
Sometimes the titles on spam are interesing.
I actualy opened “I begin as primordial curvacious” on the off chance that the contents would continue the idea. The contents never do. This one was hawking fake Rolexes that were neither curvacious nor primordial, nor was there a narrator with either characteristic.
Sometimes I feel like this guy was here last night…

The items on this site are flash movies of drawing. Very interesting to watch. I assume the people who create the drawings are using a digital sketchpad or something, because they are too fine to be done with a mouse.
The site is in, I think, Russian.
This site asks people to draw small black and white sketches online. The idea is to collect half a million pictures, and educate people about the fact that there are 6 billion humans on the planet and rising.
The site also sells posters of the drawings, 6000 selected drawings per poster. There are three posters at this point. They cost US$17 each.
Some of the sketches are surprisingly good for low-rez monochrome mouse drawings.
Kind of a nifty concept on the art level. The connection to population growth is a bit artificial and vague, but I guess it is one way to get people looking at the information.

You really should take a look at the full-size version of this - a few splashes of ink placed just right.
And while you are there, you might want to take a look at some of the other art.
