This is the opportunity of a lifetime! Thousands of Japanese people have died just to give you a chance to draw attention to your artwork! Just create a self-promotional poster with a message about Japan, and the world will be looking at you too!
Dan May was born and raised in the suburbs of Rochester, NY. He attended Syracuse University, where he received a BFA in illustration. Dan spends his days (and nights) painting dreamlike environments that transcend space and time. These delightfully haunting images are often based in personal observations of both human’s and nature’s relationships with each other. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries throughout the US and abroad. Dan has collaborated with numerous publications, design firms, advertising agencies and publishing houses. Some of his clients include WIRED, St. Louis Magazine, The San Francisco Chronicle, Aspen Magazine, Village Voice Media, AOL Productions, 20th Century FOX and VIZ Media.
Art and art history play a big role in my life, so when the new Google Art Project was announced a few weeks ago, naturally I was ecstatic! Not only has Google gone through painstaking measures to digitally preserve historical works of art, they’ve also made all of their efforts publicly available on the web.
The presentation of the works is nothing short of outstanding. For example, you can zoom around a Vincent van Gogh painting like Starry Night just as you would a Google Map. See unprecedented detail, including individual brush strokes and cracks in the oil paint!
They’ve also made a really cool video highlighting their digital capture process. I find this to be almost as amazing as the artwork itself.
If you haven’t checked out the Google Art Project yet, take a short break and be inspired by the marriage of modern technology and beautiful works of art.
