Paul Signac

Here is a BIO on this great painter.

And this is the stunning WORK I viewed today at the MIA. "Blessing of the Tuna Fleet at Groix" by Paul Signac

One of Our Favorite Digital Artists

It is a crime that not more netites know Joseph Presley, aka joefraq. Possibly as serious as a gross-misdemeanor. I'm a color theorist with a healthy grasp of art history (especially from WW2-on) and his eye for things more toward the earth-tone end of the spectrum is just incredible. Yeah, sure go ahead and say he's just another fractal artist, blah, blah... but I wouldn't even care what he'd say of his works (I know him in passing, he'd be overly modest, humble, and grateful) they really speak to me. I think his best work would be comfortable next to that of most contemporary futurists. And I think they'd be comfortable with him there too.

His best work is on Renderosity here.

Happy Advent!

Advent is upon us, the season where we remember the Christ! Accordingly, I wanted to give a gift to the world and show a math painting I recently did called "Holy Heart."

I'm not Roman Catholic myself but loved the angelic, loving image that emerged. It felt like a gift from above. Just as my last year of growth and great relationships has been. When I honestly pray for help lately, I get it.
