Warhol Polaroid

Big Shots: Andy Warhols Polaroid Portraits offers an unusual look at the intimate relationship between the photographer and his many subjects. Photographs of famous figures such as Dorothy Hamill, Sylvester Stallone, and Mrs. Carter are featured along with lesser-known subjects such as Alphanso Panell, the latter a study for Warhols 1975 series Ladies and Gentlemen.

Bloodline: AIDS and Family provides an intimate look at the harsh reality of the AIDS pandemic in
sub-Saharan Africa, which has already claimed over thirty million lives. Looking beyond the statistics and into the individual stories of the unfolding catastrophe, award-winning photojournalist Kristen Ashburn documented the impact of the disease from 2001 onward, spending months with families to chronicle their struggle with HIV/AIDS.  This is their story, through images.

The African social landscape, forever altered by the AIDS pandemic, is memorialized in her powerful collection of imagery.

With these shady economic times, it’s a good time to get out some ideas of what currency means to you as an artist.  Think of “current” times, poverty, wealth, etc.  Anything goes as long as it comes out of your thoughts about currency, and not necessarily money.  Currency, I think, is so much more.  Submission deadline is December 29 and the show will be at WonderRoot and will be opening on January 3, 2009.

Mint Gallery Event This Saturday

Ectonym Design Studio’s new site is being constructed right now!  Founded by WilliamsEngland designer and WonderRoot volunteer, Marcus Williams, Ectonym is a new studio with lots of not-so-new talent.  We at Ectonym are putting together a team of illustrators, animators and copywriters to balance our ever-growing team of designers.  We specialize in 2D static design but we are fast expanding to encompass more services.  Right now, the site’s in shambles, with holes to fall through and sharp objects to getyour clothes caught on, but check back soon: we are in the business of impressing you.

This blog will be a useful tool for keeping track of artsey-designey type stuff going on around Atlanta.  It will also include information about Ectonym Design Studio’s news/events, inform users of workshops, share like-minded creatives’ blogs, and showcase all-around totally sweet stuff that designers, photographers, illustrators, and artists have done.
