Cy Twombly has Style

Posted by: admin In: Art News Blog

The 81 year old Cy Twombly made the Vanity Fair’s 2009 International Best-Dressed List. His personal style is considered to be “rumpled artist” by Vanity Fair.

Just recently, while getting dressed I was [...]

Remember the Knitting for Psychos post a little while ago? A couple people even wrote to me and told me that I was disgusting for posting them, but I think they just forgot to take their pills before writing to me. Well, I didn’t know who the works belonged to at the time, but now [...]

Art News Blog on Twitter

Posted by: admin In: Art News Blog

I usually follow trends when they’re about to die or years before they’re fashionable, so this means that Twitter is about to die or I have finally become a good sheep and now run when the herd runs. It could be the latter as I have become quite a sell out lately. I still haven’t [...]

Coming from an Australian that has never been to the USA.. are there any places that I SHOULD or SHOULDNT visit in October?? I have traveled outside of Australia but I have never been to a place that spoke English or had a considerable art collection. This trip is prompted by friends that plan to [...]

When I think of knitting I don’t think of unicorns stabbing teddy bears and rabbits with carrots sticking out of them, but obviously someone does.
