Morton B. is famous now
I wish I could have seen this Morton Bartlett exhibit last summer at Julie Saul Gallery. I blogged about him earlier. LINKMarion Harris has a cool new website. She wrote about his art and preserved it for the rest of us.
P.S. "Vote for me" if you like this post

The Making of the Fine Print at Pressure Printing
Pressure Printing just blogged the careful and elaborate process of producing two new framed giclee prints. Here is the making of "The Ruiners"by Glenn Barr and "The Banana Eater" by Amy Crehore. It is very interesting - showing all of the steps leading up to two very fine art products. Read about it here:THE FINE PRINT
While you are at it, you will want to read about the making of Mark Ryden's print as well. Pressure Printing is best known for the quality of it's fine art pressure prints using antique presses.

Gallery of Vintage Valentines on flickr



The top one is sexy, eh? In a somewhat stiff kind of way it is cool. And the bottom one reminds me of a Fred Stonehouse painting. I found these on flickr where there is a very nice collection of The older, the better, I think. I love the way that people pool their collections on flickr. It's such a great resource and a it's lot of fun to look at. Remember the Valentine shoebox with the hole in the top? They still do that in the grade schools, don't they? I always freaked out on Valentine's Day back then, when I was just an 80 lb. weakling. The Valentines weren't as nice as these.
