The Birth of Art

“And my aim in my life is to make pictures and drawings, as many and as well as I can; then, at the end of my life, I hope to pass away, looking back with love and tender regret, and thinking, ‘Oh, the pictures I might have made!’” — Vincent van Gogh

Today is Vincent van Gogh’s birthday, and as he is one of my favorite artists, I wanted to drop a coupla gems here that I have run across in my travels over the ‘net in case anyone’s interested:

* The Vincent van Gogh Gallery, endorsed and maintained by the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam NL — this has one of the largest and most complete van Gogh painting lists, including the painting’s origin and where it is now.

* Van Gogh’s Letters — a massive (and searchable) unabridged collection of letters written by the artist, broken down by topic.

Coppermine, Part Deux …

Ok, I’ve tweaked and hacked it some more, and for now I’m happy with the way it looks. *big grin* But I reserve the right to muck it up even worse later. ;)

I’ve also decided to incorporate the CoppermineFetch script into WordPress, so now a random piece of my artwork displays on the lower right hand side of my blog.

YAY ME! :D

Coppermine

hehe, woops! :oops: I was making some changes to the art gallery when I realized that comments were disabled. Sorry ’bout that, it’s fixed now. :D

I’ll probably be playing more with the theme in the next few days, to try and match it up with the rest of this site. If only in color alone … I like the theme I have now, which is my hacked version of the program default. :wink:

The things that occupy my time …

I spent the better part of this weekend looking for Beavis and Butthead smilies … I think I’ve found some for every other cartoon character BUT them LOL

An idea hit me last night … I still had a bunch of old B&B Win95 animated icons. So I fired up Microangelo and took screenshots of each frame and pasted into Adobe ImageReady.

They’re not great, but they’ll do in a pinch:
