A post worth reading

Portland Studios' blog has some excellent thoughts. Sift through older articles too. This most recent one is a gem: Ingmar Bergman on art and faith.

Blogs to check out :-)

Here is the blog I mentioned

IAM's website redesigned!

International Arts Movement


In other news, I recently contacted an artist who had her MFA Thesis exhibition in Rutledge my freshman year. Her name is Kata Billups and her thesis was titled, "Let Jesus Out of the Box: The Case for an Emotional Jesus."
I have been looking for her for a while and finally found her on Ebay of all places. Her thesis is there.

You just can't get some images out of your mind.

"Jesus Put on a "Fat Suit" in order to Deflect the Mocking from the Fat Girl.
Kata Billups
2003
acrylic on canvas
30" x 42"
The setting for this painting is the "School of Beauty Culture" across the street from Winthrop University.
The models were photographed on location, and I worked from my own photographs."

I've been emailing back and forth with her, told her about IAM, and will try to show you more of her pieces.
