absolutely stunning. the layering of concepts and "loose-but-accurate" execution here is mind-blowing.

look for new photos on the unbuilt gallery as well as the photo gallery here on redblank in the coming days. since i took 1,692 photos, it will take me a bit to sort through it all.

Congratulations, Courtney! I'm so proud of ya!!! I normally don't condone the use of the lens flare filter in Photoshop, but in this case, it's quite apropos. Great work.

welcome to the new redblank. it's going to be a lot easier to update things thanks to indexhibit, a free and open-source content management system. please let me know what you think or just drop me a note to say hello. i know there are only about 3 people who look at this site, but i do care what you 3 think.

As I was walking Hannah the other day through the alley along the "cancer field" (which is the greenbelt created by the high-line power poles going through our neighborhood a couple of blocks over) we noticed 2 dogs out in the middle of the meadow. One was big and one was little. I recognized them as we approached as the dogs that live in the house with the chain-link fence and seeing the open

mark allen miller does some really cool paintings with what appears to be spray paint and stencils, as well a bit of collage. refreshingly clean, graphically rich and colorfully daring, the pieces on his site feel very now.

so, things have been pretty busy since the arrival of our new puppy, hannah. this blog has sort of suffered, but over at the unbuilt gallery, things have been much more tended-to. i'm going to make an effort to post more here at redblank, if only because i am always coming across cool stuff, and i need the discipline of recording these things before i forget about them. it's always nice to

my hopes and dreams of owning a neo rauch painting have fallen like a drop of paint splatting upon the studio floor. his more recent stuff is in the $700k range... oh well... i guess i'll just have to settle for a poster or something. terrific New Yorker article on his recent show at the Met here.

if your faith in the us military hasn't already been vanquished, all you have to do is read this. is anyone else terrified that this is what we are paying our government to come up with?

fascinating photo essay. i love that they included the cost of the food per week. however, i cannot understand how a family of four in Bargteheide, Germany can spend $500.07 on food in a week and not weigh 500 pounds a piece... that is a TON of food. of course, those boys will probably end up 6'12" tall, but geez! the piece shows that we all have so much in common... after all, we all gotta eat!

i honestly can not understand how people could be so fervently opposed to a piece of graphic art, but here it is. what the logo does, as any truly contemporary work does, is hold a mirror up to the culture it was created within. the vehemently negative responses to the logo clearly reflect a closed-minded, unimaginative public, who balks at anything out of the mainstream and who cannot tolerate

fabulous new posts by n_ at the unbuilt gallery from last saturday's porchtime. though the chimenea never burned, the funky silver flame balls that Mr. Mayes left with the house kept the night aglow.

I'm proud to announce the grand opening of "the unbuilt gallery" -- a collaborative photo essay blog. Participants include: Nathan Nichols, Courtney Hodges and Patrick Winn. We all have such unique visual languages and this is an effort to expose the nuances of each. Stay tuned for updates and special exhibits!

I cannot express fervently enough my love for this idea! Previous posts on this-here blog have disclosed my love of street art with emphatic applause for categorically non-destructive graffiti. Knitta is a group of women who create urban art with their handiwork. Retro in one sense -- I suppose counter-culture is another way to describe it, since women under 70 knitting is anything but usual.

Perhaps the last chord in Durufle's Requiem that happens to be a sustained 7th chord is more literally celestial than figurative?"That’s one of the startling things about this. If I wrote the simplified Bode formula down on a piece of paper and showed it to music theorists, they would ask: “Why are you showing us a formula from the overtone series…?” [...] Bode’s Law gives a series of orbital

Denis Darzacq has taken photos of people seemingly levitating before deserted urban backdrops. I'm not sure if I really want to know what it feels like to do this -- the bruises beneath their clothes as a result of this process are surely ever present. But the effect is mystifying... and the mystery is amplified by the stark streetscapes they inhabit, as there appear to be no witnesses - except
