Check out this neat brain trick by artist MAC.
This was painted as if it were a photo negative- whatever should be light was painted dark and vise versa. All those black marks on the face end up becoming highlights when you take a picture of the wall and invert all the colors. it then looks "normal". Painting like that is kind of a brain exercise. Get the image as big as you can on your monitor . . . stare at it for about 30 seconds without moving your eyes from your focus spot (like the nostril). Then shut your eyes tightly and wait. The image will invert automatically, and the green will turn to flesh tones in your shut eyes (similar to what's been done in photoshop below).

Sorry Devours. I hijacked this thread to make it a general thread about art websites that people recomment (non-artist ones). This thread was suggested by dellboyy.

Guess I will start it off. I guess I will eventually organize these at the top.

juxtapoz - www.juxtapoz.com/
hi-fructose - www.hifructose.com/
sour harvest - sourharvestblog.blogspot.com/
right some good - rightsomegood.blogspot.com/
sketchypad - www.sketchypad.com/

So to keep on-topic - this thread was actually started for art websites, websites that cover art in general, but probably not for specific artist websites or gallery websites.

Although we do appreciate anyone who takes time to share

www.claytonbrothers.com/work/work.php

This link takes you to:
The Clayton Brothers
(they paint fascinating complex images).

NOTE: These works are awesome and full of intense rich colors. The compositions
are wild and full of energy which pulls you in. I find them very stimulating.

www.imscared.com/gallery/paintings#content

This link takes you to:
GREG SIMKINS
(fantastic lowbrow surrealism !!)
Paintings are full of detail with dynamic compositions. WOW !! What a great
imagination.

NOTE: After every page you click on just start with the left thumbnail
(and after the enlargement pops up) keep clicking on the word NEXT.
When you get to the end of each series click outside the enlargement to
see page numbers appear again. This will allow you to click page 2, etc.

www.toddschorr.com/Paintings/image1.html

This link takes you to:
TODD SCHORR
(awesome lowbrow pop surrealism).
Packed full of detail, powerful compositions and out-of-this-world color.
Oh. did I mention Todd's intense psycho-imagination seems to be in overdrive ??
(Salvador Dali seems a bit tame after viewing all these great works).
Hope you all enjoy this artist as much as I do.

" Present ! Todd Schorr " 2009
Duration: 26 min. 11 seconds

NOTE: This awesome video was created to honor his show at the
San Jose Museum of Art. This hi-def video is outstanding in every way
including the organ music (it works perfect with the viewing process).
I felt like I was in a theater watching a four star movie...I was totally
spellbound !! Hope a few of you folks end up feeling the same way.
