Meet B.C. Bundaldass!

It's funny how conversations can take unusual turns. XT and I talk about Indian women with their big, pretty kohl-lined eyes. I am immediately transported to my childhood: opening my first grade English reader, full of pages after pages of illustrations by Mario de Miranda. His signature work has always been vignettes of India, its politicians and yes - buxom women with really big, kohl-lined eyes.

We share a common love of great art and Mario's work qualifies by almost any measure. Enjoy!

First Photographer

Does this guy have the best job in the world or what? Pardon the obligatory pre-roll ad...

Street Cred

Street Art finally gets the legitimate respect it deserves. I love the fact that street artists thumb their nose at the arts establishment/snobs and create timeless art in the process - I've always been turned off by things that divide the world into the 'in crowd' and everyone else - the culture equivalent of "Whites-Only" country clubs that still dot the South. Money quote from Shepard Fairey, "I'm trying to reach as many people as possible."

The Atlantic Project

Moving Art meets journalism meets neon. Lots of neon. What's not to like?

How do I get to Carnegie Hall?

A great example of elite schools of the arts giving back to the community.
