Chris Broderick: Artist Direct interview
2011-12-24 00:09:00 Who made you first want to pick up a guitar?I had a friend in fifth grade that I'd just met. I went to his house and he had a guitar there. I started messing around with it and I could never put it down. Every time I was at his house, I was like, "Let's play your guitar!" He'd say, "Let's go ride Motorcross" or something. I was annoying him constantly [Laughs]. A friend of his sold me his first guitar, which was like this Sears guitar. It was hilarious. It had 18 frets, and I couldn't tune it. The first thing I did was paint it red and throw some black duct tape on it like Eddie Van Halen. Who were your first guitar heroes?Van Halen was definitely the first one. It quickly went to Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker, and all of the shredders from there. more

Can you feel the "motion" of the image?Tags: Square, Artist, Motion, Color, Effect, Drawing, Wobble, Puzzling

Taylor Swift Beats Out Lady Gaga, Adele for AMA Artist of the Year.
2011-11-21 22:55:00 (Shared Link: Taylor Beats Out Gaga, Adele for AMA Artist of the Year | Country Weekly)My Take: It is crazy, but Taylor Swift?s music is amazing and heart filled to listen too, she deserves the award hands down. I believe that one of the songs that won her this award was ?The Story of Us?. Personally I love the song and the music video for that matter.A little nugget, country music tv stations like GAC and CMT didn?t play ?The Story of Us? music video, MTV did.If you like what you red here on RaceDriven.com, be sure to check out Brian Vermette's Personal and Link Blog at ThinkingBrian.com (on Tumblr)

Simplify: More advice from the Do-Gooder Graffiti Artist
2011-05-19 18:45:00 If you're a graffiti artist like my Do-Gooder Graffiti artist, I imagine it would be easy to follow your own advice. Simplify. I mean, what responsibilities could you have if you're a graffiti artist, right? But for fun, let's just say you do have responsibilities Mr. Do-Gooder (or maybe Ms. Do-Gooder!)--a family, a job, maybe a house or an apartment to take care of--and you're only just a graffiti artist on the side. Since you're a person pre-disposed to not follow the rules, how much can you really care about your obligations to all those things you're responsible for? So sure, I suppose it's real easy for you to go around saying things like "Simplify" and "Do Good" and "Love"...

Elvis Was a Martial Artist
2011-04-22 18:19:00 What is not to love? Elvis was a huge proponent of the martial arts. Elvis studied martial arts because he felt it would benefit his life overall. He did not pursue it for movie roles or Hollywood status. He first began karate in 1958 after he was drafted into the Army. While stationed in Germany, he studied with a shotokan stylist named Juergen Seydel. Elvis quickly recognized the value of martial arts training, he spent a 30 day furlough in Paris with Tetsugio Murakami. It was not until 1960 that Elvis met Ed Parker, who has become known as the father of American Kenpo. He saw him do a demo at the Bevelry Hills Wilshire Hotel. But Elvis received...

CTA on paper: Artist depicts public transit denizens
2011-03-22 15:00:00 Today we expand our roster of contributors again to include illustrations from my talented wife, Susan Wise. (You may recall that last week we featured the first in a series of CTA haikus by Jen Masengarb.)Susan the artist carries a small notebook with her and dashes off quick sketches of people she sees on CTA trains and buses. "You have to be quick so they don't catch you doing it," Susan said. "A few times I've gotten the stink-eye while drawing someone. Evidently, drawing people is considered more intrusive than photographing them in public." Then Susan comes home and completes the drawing from memory.The first one in this occasional series is apropos, given recent discussions about passengers not fitting in...

Original Batman artist Jerry Robinson tells his life's story in four-color
2011-02-05 23:33:00 Image via WikipediaBy BOB ANDELMAN (email) Mr. Media Radio For many years, Jerry Robinson was one of the forgotten men in comics. Little known within the industry for all the years he toiled in obscurity, drawing and creating Batman comic books under the byline of the character?s creator, Bob Kane, Robinson emerged from the shadows to become a celebrated and recognized talent in his own right. He is perhaps best known as the actual creator of the greatest supervillain ever, The Joker, and Batman?s cheery sidekick, Robin the Boy Wonder. --------------Listen to my JERRY ROBINSON interview!-------------- And unlike many men who spent their entire careers doing nothing but comics, Robinson?s work branched out over time to fine illustration. He did commercial work on Broadway, for example, as well as contributing to books and magazines. One of the surprising things we learn about Robinson is his compassion for his fellow artists around the world, many of whom struggle against m...
