Comment on Art as a Weapon by pine street art works

pine street art works — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 12:58:40 +0000

New York City street artist TMNK, The Me Nobody Knows, has been using the phrase “Art is my weapon” and the rifle silhouette for years. The slogan and logo are prominent, integral, in his art. He has shown both on the street and in galleries worldwide, and has been producing a blog and Flickr sites with these images and slogan. Our gallery in Vermont showed this work as early as 2009, and we were not the first. Is it a coincidence that the logo and such a close wording are now showing up in the work of Shepard Fairey, an artist well known for copying the works of other artists without acknowledgement? We think not.

His work is not only aesthetically breathtaking, but it often comes with humble messages, grace, power, identity explorations and gentle political commentary. [...]

Comment on Announcement of 2011 Makers Muse Recipients by Feature: Tessa Farmer — Kindle Project

Feature: Tessa Farmer — Kindle Project — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:34:29 +0000

[...] Tessa Farmer is perhaps one of the more extraordinary artists we’ve had the chance to get to know recently. Tessa creates obsessively grotesque worlds of decay and mortality in the natural and magical worlds of miniature fairies, insects, and animals. These creatures are the furthest things from the saccharine pop culture fairies that might immediately come to mind. Her macabre fairies bring the viewer into an experience of a different world of dark and uncomfortable whimsy. [...]
