Where do we go for fun blogging on the visual arts? Well, one unexpected place to find a lot of it is at rapper/producer/general impresario Kanye West's blog. West posts a lot about couture fashion and there are certainly plenty of scantily clad models featured, but he also has a great eye for good design and an interest in contemporary art, from conceptual to photography to painting and beyond. His interests aren't purely amateur either. West attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and while he doesn't write at length about much on the blog, his tastes are adventurous and worth following. You can always click on the "art" section if you're less interested in Young Jeezy's new single.
Another site we've recently come across that links to neat things artists are doing on a daily basis is BOOOOOOOM!, run by designer Jeff Hamada, who blogs about art, design, film, music and more. He recently covered embroiderer Megan Whitmarsh, whose tiny depictions of, for example, Bigfoot listening to a boombox, are adorably simple and colorful.
We'll try to keep pointing you to other places to read about art and museums online in addition to covering our own events and exhibitions, and please comment if there's anywhere you like to discover new art.
