Very random art news

Aug 21, 2008 18:52

I've been painting my ass off for a week now.
Have at least 46 million paintings, started.
I actually finished 2 today. If they behave themselves overnight and do not turn into shit.
(Which they sometimes do)
I should be debuting in the next few days.

Onto the random art news, stuff....

Any of these belong to any of you?

The stories of all the art looted during WW2 fascinate the hell out of me. Where they ended up, where they've been, and how they get back to their rightful owners..
Here's a story that's interesting and gives a good idea of how, this is still a huge fiasco all these years later.

K, now I have to go play with my new, micro-light, rc helicopters, that came in the mail today.
Yay!
(no, I'm not making that up, I've been waiting for a week for these to show up...now I must learn how to fly them around the backyard...and NOT HIT THE TREES lol.)
