Want To See The Sistine Chapel Without Having To Go To Italy

It takes a few minutes to load, but the wait is worth it. Use your mouse button to 'grab' the image and move it around. Use the wheel on your mouse to zoom in (there is a zoom in the lower left as well).

New Art At Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum In Fort Worth

The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth has a new acquisition that will be revealed on Friday. "The Torment of Saint Anthony" is Michelangelo's first known painting. Experts say he painted it in 1487-88 when he was 12 or 13 years old.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram posted a column by an art fan that I thought was interesting. Click the picture above to read the article and then go to the Kimbell to see the painting. It goes on display in the permanent collection September 26th.

I’m no art expert, but I do love great art. I consider the Kimbell and the other museums in Fort Worth and Dallas to be possibly the best reason for living here.

End Of Summer Caricature Sale

A few weeks ago I did a post about a friend that does Custom Caricature Art Greeting Cards (read it here). Well, Ty just announced an end of summer sale for August only.

THE END OF SUMMER SALE! Buy a head get a head free. Now through the end of August, I am offering 50% OFF on all CARICATURES FROM PHOTOS & ALL CARICATURE GIGS that TAKE PLACE IN THIS MONTH. (August 2009)

Click on the picture above to go to Ty's website. His phone and e-mail information can be found there.

The artist took photopraphs from the same spot every day for a year. He then compiled them into the video below. Click on the picture above to learn about the process or just enjoy the video.

Custom Caricature Art For Your Christmas Cards

Mary and I have a friend that is a professional artists. In addition to many other things, Ty is well known for his skills as a caricaturist. As you can see in the images below those skills really stand out when applied to Christmas cards. And, although it seems impossible to believe, it’s time to start thinking about ordering your personalized family cards.

Caricature Christmas cards are unique and fun. They’re sure to draw attention and stand out from the many traditional cards that fill mailboxes throughout the month of December (or, in our case, January or February). Order your Holiday cards now to insure that they are ready to go when you are ready to send them. They are sure to put a smile on the face of your loved ones during this Holiday season.

Ty treats holiday cards like a caricature from a photo. He will provide you with the finished artwork so that you can send it to the printer. Or, for a small fee, Ty can handle the printing and the design of the cards. If you want this great service you had better hurry since printers are already requiring a few weeks for delivery of the finished cards.

Click on either of the pictures to go to Ty's website where you will find his phone number and e-mail address.

Art In The Square - Southlake, TX

This weekend is Southlake's Art In The Square. This will be the second time that our church has sponsored exhibits by Vietnamese Artists as part of the Arts Engagement Program of Glocal Ventures (GVI). This year Nguyen Minh Son is being joined by Lam Duc Manh for the three day exhibit.

If you are in the area you should drop by and visit these (and the other) artists. The GVI booth will be in front of Starbucks at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Main Street. Mary and I will be working the booth Sunday from 2-6.
