Product Fail




What's wrong with this picture?

More specifically, what's wrong with this being the cover of a notebook in a children's museum gift shop?

San Antonio Part 2


While in San Antonio, I took some time to stop at the McNair art museum. It had one of the best collections of art I had ever seen in one location. Picasso, Monet, Manet, Chagal, VanGogh, Renior, Matisse, Berman, O'Keefe, Epstein, and hundreds more. They also had a Nightmare Before Christmas exhibit in the theatre arts area. It was amazing to see the actual pieces and sets used to make the movie!

This is one of the Modigliani pieces - Girl With Blue Eyes.

Picasso - Portrait of Sylvette.

Apparently, Sylvette herself came to the museum to see this picture Picasso painted of her. The original owners of the museum must have loved Picasso, because there was a very large collection of his works.
One of the many Rodin bronze sculptures from the Burghers of Calais.
They were just amazing.  Sculpture is one of my favorite mediums.

Andy Warhol


Back in 2009, I traveled to Milwaukee for a work event and had the pleasure of being able to race over to the Milwaukee Art Museum to see the traveling Andy Warhol exhibit.

These are some of the amazing things I saw:




And here we are in 2012.  
Campbell's released an exclusive line of 4 soup cans for a limited edition that are inspired by Andy Warhol.  I was lucky enough to find 3 of them.  They are proudly on display in my house.  I am still working on finding the right room to be my art-nerd room.  So they sit on a shelf until I find their proper home.
