Woke up to the smell of sunshine on hardwood floors, an empty room, cool sheets, and the muffled sound of someone in the kitchen. Thought I was on vacation at the beach with my family for nearly 30 seconds.

“If somebody goes out to make a movie that isn’t designed primarily to entertain people, then I don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. What’s the Raymond Chandler line? ‘All good art is entertainment and anyone who says differently is a stuffed shirt and juvenile at the art of living.’”

- Joel Coen (via imcastortroy)

So I entered this for a contest Neil Gaiman did with Blackberry and it didn’t even get shortlisted for the prize or anything and then I was mad at it for being so rubbish but now I know it’s good so I guess you can look at it.

I wish we could have shortlisted everyone. So much great art…

moonrise kingdom as a fantasy adventure !! this was for one of my finals where i redesigned suzy as a magic princess escaped from an oppressive kingdom and sam as an orphaned vagabond who traverse the land to find the legendary moonrise kingdom where they can live peacefully together ~
they’re a little bit older, but i still tried to maintain the innocence of the real movie!

“As for me, I’m stuck in a loveless relationship with myself, the backseat driver who can’t stop tutting and nagging. There’s no escape from me’s relentless criticism. Me even knows what I’m thinking, and routinely has a pop at Me for that. “You’re worrying about your obsessive degree of self-criticism again,” whines Me. “How pathetically solipsistic.” And then it complains about its own bleating tone of voice and starts petulantly kicking the back of the seat, asking if we’re there yet.”

- Charlie Brooker, awesomest columnist ever. (via akx)

Why Can't We Take Pictures in Art Museums?

Wed, 15 May 2013 16:48:28 -0400

Why Can't We Take Pictures in Art Museums? :

The biggest hurdle to wide-open photo policies is the issue of copyright. Museums often do not hold the copyrights to the works they display, which creates legal problems when visitors start snapping away. According to Julie Ahrens, a lawyer who specializes in issues of copyright and fair use at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford University, a photograph of an artwork could be considered a “derivative work,” which is “potentially a violation of the copyright holder.” But the deluge of cameras, along with the fact that the vast majority of visitors simply want to snap a pic for a Facebook album, has led some institutions—such as MoMA, the Indianapolis Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum—to ask lenders for permission to shoot, with the stipulation that pictures are for noncommercial use.

[…] For years, advocates of open-source culture and a growing chorus of art bloggers have lobbied for less restrictive photo policies on the grounds that our shared artistic legacy is intended to be, well, shared. Not to mention that there is no small irony in being forbidden to take pictures in cultural establishments that celebrate the work of artists like Andy Warhol, Sherrie Levine, and Richard Prince, figures whose work is based, to a large degree, on the photographs of others.
