As if a sculpture etched, in our mind's

As if our swimmer's know, by bone -

heavy, to speed the sinking.

The art of manipulation

The source of the image  you see was made with computer programs but it took 42 hours of touchups to get the source of the image you see to the image you see. Human art is still needed.

GDBee Kickstarter

she earned over 1000 preorders and still time for more

the link to the kickstarter or to discuss the artist is at the following

Chocolate Cage

You take a balloon, if you have skill form it into a shape. 
Then melt chocolate. Your preference as chocolate comes in many forms. But I think you can even melt simple hershey bars. 
Then put the melted chocolate in a funnel , wait for the chocolate to be in a melting state like syrup or honey, not a liquid state. 
then open the funnel's spout and spread the chocolate in a pattern about the balloon
Then wait for the chocolate to cool. 
then once cool, pop the balloon and a chocolate cage:)
 and you can add things to the chocolate like nuts or other things for different flavors.

What is the role of private ownership in the artistic industry under a government that utilizes fiscal capitalism? Is it a space where those who have money are free to do as they will? Or is it a where those who have money have to act according to some philosophy/standard/viewpoint?

Jann Wenner and the art of the fair interview

I read Wenner's [a creator of 'rolling stone magazine'] New York times 09/19/2023 interview  in completion.  He was asked a very personal question. How did you choose subjects for your book? His answer was honest while judgmental, but he also conveyed his own method for interviews which the interviewee of the times was ignorant of. I find it a simple reality. Wenner didn't relate to non white + non male rock and roll artist cause non white + non male rock and roll artist are different. Labor practices among women are well known to differ than men, even in the same situation. This relates to how non black or non male artist interview , which Wenner judged disconnected to the talking points of white male rock and roll artist.

The complete interview is linked using the photo or url below

Is Anime Art

The following is a question and answer I placed for the description

Do you think anime is art? Why/why not?

of course anime is art, to be blunt, anime is an artistic movement that is centuries old based on art from Nippon, that like all movements has variations. 

What do you think as beauty in Art?
Beauty in art is complex because, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

- As a viewer, what is the first thing you look for in artwork?
first thing, i tend to find in art, not look for in art, but I read and view a lot of various art styles. One of the things about growing up in NYC as a kid, I was fortunate to have parents utilize the cities museums which cover all styles of art.

- As an artist, what do you value the most while creating?
spreading my imagination

Welcome to the 16th edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter. The Stellantis open invite is on for children between 10th and 12th grade. It closes on the 21st of April so they have a solid five days. I earned another Daily Deviation in Deviantart, The Construction of Holiday Rex. 

I saw an episode of a series called Now Hear This on P.B.S. concerning the art of the european  orchestral musician named Schumann. His open mindedness in approaching his music stemmed from his dealings with his own mind. 

If you know a child in the 10th to 12th grades, they have 5 solid days and it is free

The Construction of Holiday Rex

My Holiday Rex gif became a Daily Deviation. The poem was the focus, but like most of my poetic works it comes attached to an illustration.  You only get a daily deviation every six months which means two a year is maximum. That makes it a rare label.
