Art-o-mat Adventures

#the100DayProject on Instagram has really helped me to push through another batch of 50 Artomat paintings.  This time, I have focused on Mondrian, Miro', and Matisse.  

Soon, folks will be able to vend these Mini Masterpieces at Artomat machines the world over!  Click here for a closer look at the little works in this batch.
Clarice also sends a series of paintings called BoogerBrains to Artomat.  Here are some cool facts about BoogerBrains:

  1. Their favorite food is shoelaces.
  2. They are born when bubbles pop.
  3. They are not the smartest creatures, but are very loyal and friendly.

If you collect any of these little guys, be sure to let us know!

Update on Works in Progress

Clarice and I had a blast in the studio this weekend.  We added more Jackson Pollock to the blue and green painting, which I keep referring to as " Wild Sargasso Sea ."  (Clarice thinks this name is hilarious.) White splotches, silver, and dark blue swirls happened here. Wild Sargasso Sea Then, the coral painting that I refer to as the "more Mondrian -ish" piece had some gold geometric highlights added to its negative space.  After this, I felt like the painting was suddenly channeling some Gustav Klimt .  I'm calling this one "Coral with Turquoise and Gold Incidentals."  (Musical composers write incidental music to accompany or accentuate the action in scenes.)  Coral with Turquoise and Gold Incidentals I still feel like my background colors of bright blue and coral on these two paintings were inspired by Kandinsky .  I also felt that the lyrical, rhythmic lines might make him smile.  He believed each painting captured a musical symphony.  ...
