Deleuzian Difference vs. how I’ve been thinking of “contrast” lately.

A bit more progress on the FDR painting
A bit more progress on the FDR painting Originally uploaded by 730N. This one is proving difficult! I am still getting tripped up by the colors and nuances. Completion seems far off.

Art Face off…
I found this website yesterday called Artfaceoff.com There tagline is “A grassroots project bringing democracy to the world of art.” Lofty goal indeed, but an interesting concept. You put a maximum of 24 images up on their site, and your work is rated on a 10 point scale. I like “distributed feedback” that could result…
