Posted on July 27, 2012 by destructivetesting

Joe excels at many types of photography.  I suppose that with his position at the newspaper, that’s a necessity. “A senior photographer at the San Luis Obispo County Tribune, Joe brings 15 years of experience as a photojournalist, where he’s … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Tarek Ben Yakhlef / France

Posted on July 8, 2012 by destructivetesting

To call Tarek’s illustrated books ‘comic books’ is like calling ‘Maus’ a comic book.  They are that, but so much more.  I see Tarek as a sort of Renaissance street artist. “Graduate of the Sorbonne (University Paris I) in medieval history and art history, Tarek released Paris … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Angel Sotelo / Spain

Posted on July 4, 2012 by destructivetesting

One thing I find most compelling about Angel’s photographs is his composition.  Even his ‘family’ photos at the end, done with a camera phone display this.  As he posts each photo, he writes something thoughtful, and even poetic, about what … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Sandrine Pagnoux / Paris, France

Posted on July 2, 2012 by destructivetesting

Sandrine’s manipulated photos (by her friend Sophie Etchart) and drawings are somewhat similar to the paintings of my Artist of the Day yesterday, Theresa Pfarr. “Mostly, I illustrate lost souls, people, who are torn between strong poles like beauty and … Continue reading →

Artist of the Day / Jürgen Kuster / Germany

Posted on June 23, 2012 by destructivetesting

Jürgen Kuster has a lot of things going on!  Painting, writing, various ‘projects’.  I’ve only scratched the surface with these images.  You must check out his blogs to get a feel for the imagination this artist has. http://issuu.com/search?q=juergenkuester http://www.youtube.com/results?  search_type=videos&search_query=hjkuester&uni=3 … Continue reading →
