Van Gogh ReMixed

One of my son's assignments in art class this year was to create his own rendition of Van Gogh's Starry Night. So, in typical "boy fashion" my son re-mixed Starry Night into a sweet fire-breathing dragon epic of awesomeness.

If the wisest king in all of Israel was correct (and there really is nothing new under the sun) then we need to become masters of the re-mix. We need to learn from what was done before and allow it to inspire us to create something new.

The Thin Line Between Creative and Crazy (pt. 2)

"It is only true that a lot of artists are mentally ill - it's a life which, to put it mildly, makes one an outsider. I'm all right when I completely immerse myself in my work, but I'll always remain half crazy." - Vincent van Gogh
