art


I recently discovered her art this week and I must say I just absolutely love them. They remind me of art by Audrey Kawasaki, whom I also adore.

Here’s her website

You can peruse through her paintings, drawings, and sketches.

Her Bio: “Stella Im Hultberg* is a painter currently living and working in Brooklyn, NYC.
Born in South Korea, raised in Seoul, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and later in California,
she studied Industrial Design and worked as a product designer before so fortunately
returning to art (and coming back to life).”

She also has a shop where you can buy some of her lovely prints. They range from $30 to $150 dollars. She says that original paintings can only be bought at gallery showings.

=) I found out about this art like a year or two ago and I fell in love with its simplicity. :justsmile: It’s american art, simple. Dolls they used to make in the 1800s here in America. Probably mostly in Southern United States. I think they’re so cute. :love:

Those are doorknob hangers I got at http://www.primdoodles.com. She has a bunch of printables. Like recipe cards, note card, shopping lists, etc. Soooo cute and free. :bigcheesygrin:

Here are some other Primitive art sites on the web. They sell CDs, custom graphics, dolls, arts and crafts, web sites, etc. I just think they’re adorable. But some are so expensive. :omygoodness:

I discovered this artist today. His work is a little eerie to me. The figures seem a little ghoulish to me. But I love his attention to intricate detail. And he definitely has an original style.

I learned something new today from Myles. I always seem to be learning new things from him. What I’d really like to learn is to cook as well as he does. *grin*

I was never good at spatial reasoning unfortunately. Didn’t fare well in that portion of standardized tests sadly. This information is gacked from wikipedia. But of course =)

The Möbius strip or Möbius band (pronounced /ˈmøbiʊs/) is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. It has the mathematical property of being non-orientable. It is also a ruled surface. It was discovered independently by the German mathematicians August Ferdinand Möbius and Johann Benedict Listing in 1858.[1][2][3]

A model can easily be created by taking a paper strip and giving it a half-twist, and then joining the ends of the strip together to form a single strip. In Euclidean space there are in fact two types of Möbius strips depending on the direction of the half-twist: clockwise and counterclockwise. The Möbius strip is therefore chiral, which is to say that it is “handed”.

It is straightforward to find algebraic equations the solutions of which have the topology of a Möbius strip, but in general these equations do not describe the same geometric shape that one gets from the twisted paper model described above. In particular, the twisted paper model is a developable surface (it has zero Gaussian curvature). A system of differential-algebraic equations that describes models of this type was published in 2007 together with its numerical solution.[4]

Art and Popular Culture
The Möbius strip has provided inspiration both for sculptures and for graphical art. The artist M. C. Escher was especially fond of it and based several of his lithographs on it. One famous example, Möbius Strip II, features ants crawling around the surface of a Möbius strip. It is also a recurrent feature in science fiction stories, such as Arthur C. Clarke’s The Wall of Darkness. Science fiction stories sometimes suggest that our universe might be some kind of generalized Möbius strip. This is especially prominent in the Perry Rhodan-series. In the short story “A Subway Named Moebius”, by A.J. Deutsch, the Boston subway authority builds a new line, but the system becomes so tangled that it turns into a Möbius strip, and trains start to disappear. The Möbius strip also features prominently in Brian Lumley’s Necroscope series of novels.

The mobius strip is even the signature architectural feature of the NASCAR Hall of Fame (www.nascarhalloffame.com), presently under construction in Charlotte, NC.
