New site launched, Artwire.info
This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. Create a site in which fans, and myself, can visit and see updates from their favorite art sites, blogs, museums, galleries, and even artists. It takes a long time to scour all the available art sites out there, and is one of the reasons so much news escapes me, this is why I am proud to announce a new website, Artwire.info. This new site is a news aggregator, so RSS feeds from all of your favorite art sites can be found there. Of course some sites that don’t have valid RSS or Atom feeds haven’t been added, but maybe this new site will prompt them to fix that and get added to the site. I hope you enjoy this new site, and if you do please help by spreading the word.

New work by Heather Horton
It’s been far too long since I have shown new work by the amazing Heather Horton. Looking at her site she has been traveling the world and has recently updated her site with a few new paintings. She has a great style, that while the figures and cloth are rendered perfectly, the brush marks are still pretty thick. It gives for a very interesting effect.
