Fun Art Site For Action Painting

If you are a fan of abstract art, and specifically the “Action Painting” style made popular by Jackson Pollock, you might want to go to http://www.jacksonpollock.org. No, it’s not an informational site or details on where to buy printed versions. In fact, if you point your browser there and do nothing, it looks like a blank page. Or is it a blank canvas?

This interactive site lets you use your mouse to make your own electronic version of his classic art with any number of color options and you can even save your work.

This is a sample:

Two Tools Every Poet Should Be Using

If you write poetry, or are trying to jump into writing in this format, there are some things you should know. It’s not as easy as you might think. There are so many different styles and topics and most of us just can’t start writing if we don’t have some inspiration for our piece. Here are two tools that can help.

Thesaurus.com

Most people tend to pick a few words they like on a given topic and stick with them. This isn’t always the best idea when you write poetry, or anything for that matter. Repetition can be used for emphasis but it can also come across as lazy and uninspired. Use this website to help you tweak your language.

RhymeZone

Not all forms of poetry require or focus on the use of rhyme. But many of them make it a key element. This simple tool allows you to find things that rhyme when you might not be able to find the words for yourself.

Happy writing!

The Art of Dylanna Fisher (Part 2)

Here is the second website we would like to highlight featuring the work of artist Dylanna Fisher. Again, it is on the Redbubble platform but this time it features content created that is inspired mostly by music. She calls it Switching Styles.

Here are some samples of the designs on the website:

Social Media Alternatives For Creatives

Social media plays a big role in most of our lives these days. It only stands to reason that it probably does the same for our art. But sometimes and for certain reasons, the big boys like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram among other options aren’t always the best for creatives to showcase their work and connect with fellow artists. Here are a list of a few alternatives you might want to consider that first off will allow for more freedom in your posting and more protection of your intellectual property.
