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

Artist of the Day / J.E. Lattimer / Nebraska

I don’t have any information about what J. E. Lattimer does to manipulate his photos to achieve the resulting images, but for me, that’s just as well.  I’d rather see what he wants us to see. http://arcanearrangements.wordpress.com/
