It is interesting to be able to look at a painters palette. The chance to see their studio is even more exciting. This is about the preservation of Klimt's studio. It does not have easily seen examples of his work, but they are easy to find in books or the internet. Thanks twingoatsinc; this was submitted a few months ago.

Sorry on a recent check I saw the article has expired - can't be viewed (as of August).

Here is an article that katemoon submitted a couple of months ago. Its subject is 70 of the best logo design resources. There are links to resources and humor too. Thanks katemoon.

Comic Book Originals Break Into Art Market

Bluestar submitted this over a month ago. The article reconfirms what I have known for a long time, the best comic book work is an art form like any other media. The comic strip was invented in America, and comic books have been valued here for some time. This short piece has a European slant on the topic. Some original work is going for over $250,000. You can't  judge art by its price, but it does show comic book art (or EB) is being taken seriously. Moebius and Herge are a couple of the artists who are mentioned.

Thanks bluestar. Does anyone have past articles from the members news section they would like to post? Or comments on what they saw?

 Teaching Students to Critique

Bluestar submitted this article 3 months ago. This short piece covers some of the basic elements of art critique. There has been questions of style of critique on a friends group, and threads about leaving comments about peoples work on the site. Maybe this will help give people ideas. Also a good refresher for people with a lot of critique experience. Thanks bluestar.

Thanks for taking the time to resurrect these articles. The have been valuable.

 Staying Creative with Tips from a Cartoonist

"Imagine churning out idea after idea, seven days a week, always using the same style and characters. How would you stay fresh and invigorated? Cartoonist John Kovaleski can teach us a thing or two about that."

This was a helpful article submitted by Anika about 3 months ago. The hardest thing about cartooning (and storyboards) for me is coming up with ideas. Usually when I pick an article, if it involves an artist I prerfer images to be included. This article is so strong though, I decided to post it again. I like his reference to early "B.C." If you want to see Kovaleski's work you can Google him.

Best wishes Anika. Here is the link:

About 1/3 of the articles posted in the last 9 months have been posted in the last month. They are getting buried quicker than ever. Does anyone else have any articles by other members of artbistro hey would like to submit here? I think news may be an under used resource.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

That site went straight into my bookmark collection!

 Thank you Mason. I thought it was a good article.

Thanks ejcawth. I was encouraging people to submit articles from others -but I'm glad you put it in. It  looks like a good resource. The news section is controlled by a few people at this point. Why bother to research and submit if it gets buried by a couple of other peoples massive submissions? I've commented on that in the past, but I think I come off as sour grapes. 

For more on this I refer to this thread. Things have only gotten worse with the recent point change:

Thank you for reading that. It so sad that he is gone. He was a funny guy. Jennifer 

 Thanks for taking the time to resurrect these articles.  I often intend to get to some of these but have no time.

Thanks for posting these - I really enjoyed the logo designs! I find myself seeing an interesting article on the News page and not being able to find it again when I have time to go back and read it.

 Interesting observation Regnadkicn. I think people do get credit if they comment/rate on an article. I still don't like it if a couple of people can control the news at certain points. It discourages others from submitting as I and others have commented on in the past. Apparently these people are oblivious or do not care. But I would like this thread to focus on good articles that are worth taking another look at. Feel free to contribute. I seem to be a one person shop right now.

 Back to business.

Remembering Alton Kelley

Although I prefer articles with slide show and or images, I thought this was well worth bringing up again.

"Alton Kelley, whose psychedelic concert posters for artists like the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and Big Brother and the Holding Company helped define the visual style of the 1960s counterculture, died on Sunday at his home in Petaluma, Calif. He was 67."

A slide show that includes good information and images submitted by ejcawth about 3 months ago. Classic work-should be recognized by many. If you don't know him take a look-if you do, take a look.
