Judith Braun’s Wall Fingering series
Part of the process of finding a compelling voice as an artist is paring everything down to the bare essentials. With her Wall Fingerings series, Judith Braun doesn’t even use brushes, instead using her bare fingers to smear and press charcoal and pastel marks, creating minimalist patterns, gradients, depth, and beautifully abstract forms.

Isn’t that the same chick from Work of Art? *guilty pleasure..
HAVE YOUR SAY
I’ve been to Portland. Yes, people there are really weird, hippie, forest spirits that are in a cosmic brotherhood. They perform black masses with crystals and then they go skateboarding to let off some steam. Nas Chompas is actually a photorealist artist. Read more

Andrew Fagan, lead singer of The Mockers, the poppiest New Zealand band of the 80s, came around to my place once when I was an impressionable 10-year old with stars in my eyes and a head full of shiny, shiny melodies. Read more
Perimeter Books in Melbourne is a small bookshop and art space, full of beautiful surprises. I always feel inspired to make fresh new drawings after going there.
I really, really love this blog. Renee Ruin covers art, fashion, trends, with an emphasis on tattoo, fetish and grunge culture and she digs up the most amazing stuff. Ruin seems to like the same artists I do, including the seriously talented Brian M. Viveros.
Baltimore’s Teeth Mountain create pulsing, shamanistic, tribal-sounding tracks from a bunch of floor toms, cello, mandolins, keyboards, saws, and whatever else they can get their hands on. The chaotic music they make is noisy, roughly-hewn, and impulsive-sounding, but that seems to be the point. They’re trying to evoke a sort of post-apocalyptic primitivism. It will be interesting to see where this collective takes their aesthetic.
