this duo k-rock and wolfy gave a talk at my school last semester, showcasing only rejected artwork/design (they do flyers, albums, and like ad campaigns for bands). it was interesting to see all the shitty shit that has to happen before something great can occur

SOMETHING EVERY ARTIST SHOULD KNOW

Whats the best art software? I've been using mypaint which I'm finding cumbersome (maybe I'm not using it right).

I saw someone use ArtRage with a tablet. It was way cool.

£50m Painting 'Not as Good' as £8 Telly
New findings stun art world


ART GALLERIES were last night facing the prospect of SCRAPPING all their masterpieces after experts proved that a telly costing just £8 was more than ELEVEN TIMES as interesting as the world's most valuable painting.
Scientists shut volunteers in a completely bare room containing Vincent Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', an armchair and a small black & white TV, and then monitored their viewing habits for an hour.

Amazingly, they spent an average of less than 5 minutes standing looking at the £50 million painting, before sitting down in the chair and watching whatever was on the television for the rest of the hour.

"At first we doubted our results," said Professor Kent Walton, head of Statistics at Brunel University. "But then we checked and re-checked them and there was no mistake. Telly is loads better than posh paintings, and that's a scientific fact."

When the experiment was repeated using the Mona Lisa and a copy of the Autotrader, the results were even more marked.

Sir Roy Strong, curator of the National Gallery, was devastated when we told him of Professor Walton's findings. "I have wasted my life," he said. "All this shit is going in a skip first thing tomorrow, I can tell you."

How about instead of scrapping it, they sell it to the black market and pretend it got stolen.
