Here is my METAL / SYRUP submission for this week’s art challuunge…

Medium: pencil/Photoshop

You can head over to the R-WAC blog and vote for mine if you so desire.  I ain’t gonna lie, I don’t think mine was the best submission this week.  Who do you think will win this round?

I finished my 1st R-WAC card challuunge…

Here’s what you need to know: I have the Hearts suit in our art deck project.  This month is the “2” card.  The random word was FUTURE and here is my submission that I did with clay, a shoe box and a little painting in Photoshop .  Also this pic has none of the playing card stuff on it.  Dig.

A few more details… we over at the Weekly Art Challuunge website have created a new kind of art challuunge for ourselves.  It’s called the R-WAC Art Deck or also know as the R-WAC Card Challuunge.  4 artists; Andrew, Danny, Naoki & Wurm (me) were assigned a suit from a standard deck of playing cards.  Every month we each create a piece of art inspired by a single word selected at random. Progress shots will be posted weekly. At the end of the year we will have a complete deck of playing cards featuring 54 pieces of original art.

To check out the final final image that will appear in the deck of cards at the end of the year, it will be posted tomorrow morning.  In the meantime, here is the art:

Thanks Scott. One of the best tattoos ever!

It is no secret that I love tattoos.  It is also no secret that I love art, science and philosophy.  So this might come as a big shock but I love this tattoo... I only wish that someone else didn't have it, cuz I would totally get it... now if it only said music, sculpting and internet...

MASH-UPS: the new cover songs. I love love love em!

So I have been in love with mash-ups for quite a few years now.  There are so many mash-up artists/DJ’s out there right now, some well known and some not so well known.  I wanted to collect some of the one’s that really “get me” every time they come up in the random mix/shuffle I listen to at work.  So here you are, dear readers, Wurm’s compendium of some of the best mash-ups that the intranets has to offer IMO.  I would love any feedback from you people out there on what mash-ups I may have left out, or what your favorites are.  Please feel free to shoot me links or comment on this thread with your links to sites or blogs or videos.  I dig em, I surehope you do…

Great googley moogley, thanks for reminding me about this classic gem, Dan!

Hoe-lee sheep shit, I won this week’s art challuunge!

Well whadda ya know, I won this week’s art challuunge with my drawing for Radioactive / Butterfly.  Kinda cool.  We all vowed (the R-WAC founding fathers) to never vote for our own submission and I have stayed true to this vow.  Click the pic below to check out a larger version of my Radioactive / Butterfly:

This art is really great. A comic book rendition of MLK’s life.

Gonna have to put this on my wish list.  If you go the Amazon.com site and click the “CLICK TO LOOK INSIDE” picture, it gives you a preview of some of the killer artwork in this comic book rendition of MLK’s life.  I love the black and white art style in comic books more than any other style.  It gives them a certain darkness and mystery that can not be duplicated with color images.  This is of course my opinion.  So click over and dig some great art.

I have been smoke free for 12 days now.

Dear cigarettes (my former lover),

It has been 12 days since we last saw each other… and while I enjoyed many of the times we spent together the past 12 or so years - IT IS OVER!  I regret to inform you that it’s not ME that’s the problem, it’s YOU!  It ALWAYS was you. You have caused me to stay up nights coughing and hacking for the last time.  So please don’t call me for just “one more night out” or a “quick fling at lunch”.  I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR STINKIN FACE AGAIN, YOU HEARTLESS MOTHER FUCKER!

Sincerly,

Wurm (your former friend)

The New Random Words Art Challuunge will be getting some nice changes this year.

Head on over to check out the new addition to our art challuunge weekly challuunge.

Here is how it works:

The R-WAC Card Challuunge:

The Card Challuunge is a little different than our parent site (Random words art Challuunge). It is comprised of 4 artists; Andrew, Danny, Naoki & Wurm (that's me!!!). Each artist was assigned a suit from a standard deck of playing cards and every month they each create a piece of art inspired by a single word selected at random. Progress shots will be posted weekly. At the end of the year we will have a complete deck of playing cards featuring 54 pieces of original art.
