I've been delving into more conceptual art for several years. This weekend I debuted my two newest pieces. I hope they spark conversation... that is all. They are both made of actual vintage luggage, carved lettering, and lighted from inside.
Title 1: Business or Pleasure? Title 2: Aphorism Rendered Literally.

Seen in my local art supply store. Good for a laugh, but also, ewwww, who does that?

We love Seattle (mostly) but why do they have to get all the best stuff? We need this in Tacoma!

Downtown Seattle’s Bed Bath & Beyond building to become an arts center The organizers behind Bumbershoot are transforming the sprawling, two-floor building into a year-round contemporary art center set to open in early 2025.

We just love when art reenters the public sphere…

'Breathtaking' and 'transformational.' Seattle University receives record $300 million art donation Seattle University has received the largest art donation ever given to a university. So large, in fact, the Jesuit school will have to build a new museum to house the $300 million collection.

Who knew the N***s were not the only ones stealing art during WWII? Here's a feel-good story about a theft finally made right...

300-year-old painting stolen by an American soldier during WWII returned to museum After going missing nearly 80 years ago, a baroque landscape painting was returned to Germany on Thursday

We love a good story about Art Forgery (the art market is practically made for gaming). But this is also the story of a PNW artist finally getting his due. Alden Mason was new to us and definitely worth knowing about! Enjoy the article from Crosscut...

A Seattle artist and the auction frenzy that sparked an FBI tip Alden Mason never reached international fame. Now his paintings are breaking sales records and allegedly inspiring a forgery ... in Madrid.

A local artist created a mural to support the people of Ukraine, and it was almost immediately defaced. But she didn't let that stop her. Story here...

Gig Harbor mural supporting Ukraine destroyed by vandals a day after being painted The community rallied behind the artist who created a new mural that was able to incorporate the paint the vandals used to destroy the original artwork.

While art is my passion, I don't pretend to be an expert on Basquiat or the mysterious machinations of the business side of the art world. What do you think?

In Orlando, 25 Mysterious Basquiats Come Under the Magnifying Glass Vibrant paintings on cardboard said to be by the artist were found in the storage unit of a Hollywood screenwriter. Will a museum show resolve questions about their authenticity — or raise new ones?

Seriously, people who don't understand the value of artwork should not be guarding said artwork!!

‘Bored’ Museum Security Guard Doodled Eyes on $1.3M Painting It was his first day on the job.

Just a cool, little diversionary art post…
