This Week: 6/21 through 6/28

Published Jun. 22nd 2008

Monday in General Art Advice - Ever thought about planning and organizing a community art event in your neighborhood or city? Tomorrow you can read about some of the benefits to doing just that, from EmptyEasel’s newest writer: muralist and art entrepreneur, Denise Telep.

Tuesday in Selling Art Online - Simple, sleek, and functional is almost always a good thing online. On Tuesday I’ll be reviewing a website that embodies all of that (and sells art prints, too). Don’t miss it!

Wednesday in Featured Artists - For the first time on EmptyEasel I’ll be featuring TWO painters at once—but there’s a good reason for it. Come back Wednesday to learn about Jim and Lynn Lemyre, a pair of artists who tap into their collective subconscious to create some really amazing surrealist paintings.

Thursday in Art Movements - Need a new outlet for your creativity? Then drop by for Kathleen Harrington’s introductory article* explaining the pocket art movement of ATC’s (Artist Trading Cards) and ACEO’s (Art Cards Editions and Originals).

Friday in Artist Polls - What poll questions would YOU like to see on EmptyEasel? Feel free to come up with a specific question you’d like to ask other artists, or just a general idea, and let me know here. I’ll use as many as I can in the coming weeks.
