A quick story about Art and the internet
Natasha Wescoat sent me an exciting email this past week to tell me she had finished a work I commissioned about a month ago. I heard about Natasha through Hilary McHone, who retweeted Natasha announcing she had some time for commissions, if anyone was interested. My wife and I have been meaning to adorn the walls of the apartment we’ve now been living in for three six seven months, so after a quick google image search to see what I was getting myself into, I replied that I would love to commission some art! Why not?
Not sure of how to proceed, I sent Natasha a drop full of some photos I plucked from iPhoto for inspiration, and a number of her works that I especially liked. (Someday she’ll tell me if this was an interesting way to work…to be honest I had some reservations about influencing the artist too much)
Natasha disappeared for a few weeks and then this past weekend, this photo appeared in my inbox:
Cool, huh? I dig it when technology facilitates art and artists, and brings artists to an audience. Straight from a retweet to my wall. If I can just figure out which one to hang it on…
