GoPro has cool time-lapse features, but some could be better—especially, notes DIY Photography, the interval-between-shots parameter, which is limited to 60 seconds. But if you connect your
computer to your GoPro via WiFi, you can control that parameter and other GoPro functions with simple HTTP requests. Go here for a complete list of HTTP GoPro commands to control video parameters like resolution, frame rate, white
balance, burst-mode, and more. Read the full Story >>

The 2015 Summer Invitational: Pimp Your Sketchbooks, continues with Katherine Streeter, who lives and works in New York City. I keep many sketchbooks that are
always in various stages of completion. Some of them are filled from first page to last, in that order, while others are a timeline zig-zag, with random pages chosen without sequence.
I feel compelled to use collage, even when using … Read the full Story >>

The last day of summer slipped by almost unnoticed here in New York. The summer invitational, Pimp Your Sketchbook, continues with Blair Thornley. I use sketchbooks to hunt for
and collect images, information, gestures, study the light on something, or to just make unplanned drawings from my unconscious. Of course, also for illustration concepts and lists of
what i want to do. I use at least three or … Read the full Story >>

After being inundated with hateful rhetoric for months of
campaign, I could not get his image out of my head, most disturbingly even in sleep. This portrait is my first attempt to remove him… it works... for awhile… then I make another.
“Fool’s Gold” is collaged with assorted debris. The faces are getting progressively more hideous, reflecting the reality through my eyes. I’m in … Read the full Story >>

Photographer and video artist Carrie Mae Weems is one of the recipients of this year’s MacArthur “genius” grants, notes the New York Times. Weems, who lives in Syracuse, New York,
has explored the legacy of African American identity in work over the past 30 years. “In images that are lyrical and evocative, Weems unites critical social insight with enduring aesthetic
mastery,” notes the MacArthur Foundation. “Her intimate depictions of children, adults, and families in simple settings
document and interpret the ongoing and centuries-old struggle for racial equality, human rights, and social inclusion in America.” Her intimate depictions of children, adults, and families in simple settings document and interpret the ongoing and centuries-old struggle for racial equality, human rights, and

Even in places south of the 44th parallel, where the sun shines long into evening hours, the
quality of light perceptibly changes as September nears. So enjoy the glimmer of these late August skies and leave images in your mind, perhaps to replay on a dark December night. Best wishes
for evenings spent with friends, good food and drink, on this holiday weekend, Peggy … Read the full Story >>

BLOUIN ARTINFO Monday January 7, 2013
Art.sy, the online image database that houses over 21,000 high-resolution artworks, has permanently moved to http://artsy.net/ and changed its name
to Artsy, and, as Artinfo reports, the shift is linked … to the escalating conflict in Syria. The former Art.sy suffix —“.sy”—happens to be the official domain suffix
for the Syrian Arab Republic. The site had planned to change its name later this year rather than renew its domain, which would violate current U.S. sanctions, but was forced to move more quickly
after it mysteriously went down for several days. Read the full Story >>

The history of printing—from the Bible and religious pamphlets to
electioneering flyers dropped from drones—can be told through the history of illustration—most recently shown in DART through the book, This Is What Democracy Looked Like: A visual History of the Printed
Ballot. So consider the
human body: the physical envelope that encases the mind and spirit of an individual. The flesh that inspires … Read the full Story >>

One of my favorite questions in the DART Q&A is: What are some of your favorite places/books/blogs/websites for inspiration? In procrastination mode a bit myself, and firmly
opposed [at the moment] to Chuck Close’s advice [Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work.], I checked in. Here are some locations:

Last night streamed the film, Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom, set in Bhutan, because I wanted to watch something that was filmed somewhere interesting—not in dark studio-built interiors with actors acting like talking heads. In the process, I learned that Bhutan is a country which has recognized the supremacy of national happiness over national income since the early 1970s and famously adopted the … Read the full Story >>

I always travel with a sketchbook because that I love drawing—and it’s always the best souvenir. Even though my final art is digital, I love the act of drawing. There is something
mystical and poetic around the smell and the textures of the paper as well as the sound of the different pens and pencils on the paper. You don’t get this when you … Read the full Story >>
