Look what I found!

Well I happened find a couple cool things that I thought the rest of you might find interesting. First one's an artist, second one is a artistic tournament of sorts, and the third one is an a website.

Jason Chan, creator of the awesome image shown above, is a very skilled and creative artist who's work is spectacular and clever.
His blog can be found at: http://jasonchanart.blogspot.com/

Now the the tournament I was talking about is something that's amazingly cool. It's a kind of Gladatorial arena for artists. It's called Last Man Standing Thunderdome. No joke, it's really called that. If you don't believe me check it out here: http://www.lastmanart.com/
It's an amazing concept really, construct a contest that has artist's from around the world create pieces that a sort of theme (such as outbreak, survival, serenity, ect.) and have them submit their creations, and let judges determine the winner. Brilliant.

While surfing the internet I found a website dedicated to art. Now there are a lot of websites out there that are about art and are "dedicated" to it. But this one makes it clear that at the end of the day it's their love of the craft, and not the profit it turns that drives them. I mean, when it says on their "About" page that:

"Everything we feature is there because we like it, not because some ridiculously rich sponsor has thrown a stack of greenbacks our way. Not that we don’t like ‘da duckets’. In fact, we welcome any economic ’subsidies’ we can get. But at the end of the day, our iPhones are tax write-offs, and we do this out of love, not for money."

wow. So with intelligent writing, inspiring images, and thoughful content all in one place I thought that it was worth mentioning on the blog. So check out http://www.lostateminor.com/ now!
