Van Gogh
--ashlee ferraina
I've been in a "Van Gogh" mood lately for some reason. I just ordered the book Dear Theo by Irving Stone. Amazon.com can be your best friend when you don't own a car. As well as a worst enemy to your bank account.
I wanted to add some visuals...so here are some Van Gogh works I like today.

"Bad Boys of Art"
--Ashlee Ferraina
I some how came across an article titled "Swagger and Sideburns: Bad Boys in Galleries" on the New York Times website. Among other artists they named Damien Hurst a "bad boy". It's an interesting article published about a year ago.
