Hey Mr. Paganini...

I just took at look at Hernan Paganini's site and I love his work! He is featured tonight on Tiny Showcase and I may just have to return to see what he has done for them and buy a print to add my my collection.

I love the combination of color and natural materials.

I love the understated design of his website and I love the drawings on the page "Demonios"--especially the first page--Days Without Numbers. For some reason, I wish the drawings were not made in oil pastels though. I like both the personal work and the client work. I will have to spend more time on the site.

FABRIK Competition--congrats all!


Fabrik Magazine Juried Competition
INTERNATIONAL JURIED COMPETITION RECIPIENTS
After receiving hundreds of submissions and after many weeks of judging, we are pleased to announce the winners of the Fabrik Magazine Juried Competition.
“The quality as well as the volume of the submissions to this competition proved as difficult to refine down as it was delightful to winnow through,” said juror Peter Frank (Fabrik’s Associate Editor as well as art critic for the Huffington Post and Adjunct Senior Curator at the Riverside Art Museum). He adds… “as can be seen from the relatively extensive list of the honorably mentioned, dozens of eminintly qualified artists honored us with their submissions. The eventual winners, submitting from Athens and Seattle, London and New York, Toronto and California, distinguished themselves in a wide variety of media and styles, but so did the painters and sculptors, installation artists and conceptualists, video artists and digital artists who made, or came close to making, Honorable Mention. Exhausting as the jurying job was, it rekindled our faith in the artistic spirit and an optimism about artistic practice in at least the near future.”
