Poster art based off of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds, made by a fantastic creative team, were auctioned off on February 18th to benefit the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. See all of the posters over at Upper Playground.
The mystery behind the most famous mutilation in art history may finally have been solved:
A scholar has found evidence that a distraught Vincent van Gogh slashed his ear after learning that his brother, Theo, on whom he depended financially and emotionally, was about to get married.
Martin Bailey, who has written a book on van Gogh and curated two exhibitions of his work, devised his theory after meticulous detective work on a letter in a painting that the artist completed soon after he injured himself.
Go ahead, panic.
Logan Walters: “The Many Faces of a Space Invader”
Artist Dominic Wilcox attached a metal On/Off switch to his head with wig tape and kept it there, day and night, for a month.
Wilcox says:
“I remember after leaving the place where it was done I had to overtake some people on the path. I knew they would see it, so that was a big moment, then after that I relaxed a little. I went into a pub once and ordered a drink. It felt like the music and pool balls came to a stop for a second or so. Then started up again.”
