Sand is the new paint

I recently found a blog (thanks Tech Jennifer) entry that just blew me away. Photos were taken of Buddhist Monks creating a masterful art piece - out of sand. Not too unusual, right? Well, this type of sand art requires more thought, time, and detail then the typical ones you will see at the beach. Using colored sand, toothpicks, and a few other instruments, the monks created a decadent design to only finish and be brushed away.



I'm amazed at how meticulous and crafty they are. Two thumbs up to awesome art.

Dripping never sounded so good

I’m always on the look out for online eye candy, and recently I stumbled onto a great new site that lets artists host their online portfolios for all to ogle and admire. Currently in private beta (invitation only), Dripbook not only allows artist to publish their works online, but also creates a community where artists—and art aficionados—from all mediums can come together and get their creative juices flowing.

Offering all the traditional social networking features like messaging, networking, tagging, and more, Dripbook sets itself apart by ensuring that the art comes first by eliminating all the “noise” and clutter that detracts from many sites. Dripbook accounts come in Standard (free), or you can upgrade to a Premium account for just $9 a month (annual price) to remove the sponsoring ads and increase the variety of display abilities, images, and books.

Even if you aren’t able to snag a covetable invite, the site is a great pool for ideas and just plain ol’ fun for looking at all things creative. You can search by users, genre, tags, and even location. Extreme RADness.
