Link Round-Up: September 5, 2014

Molly Hooper
The One Person that Mattered the Most
Based on the classic Mucha poster Zodiac, Grand Bazar and Nouvelles Galleries. Colored in Corel Painter. All of the type is names for the structures of the skull. Even the curling white decorative lines at the bottom are actually type (though it’s hard to see at this size). If all goes well, I’ll do posters for other Sherlock characters as well, each in the style of a classic art nouveau poster.
Prints are available here at my new redbubble account.
EDIT: I repainted and retouched this and it is now available at much larger sized prints now if anyone was interested.

Prints available for purchase from RedBubble.

News: Florida contemporary art display will feature hacked celebrity nude pics in an exhibit entitled "Fear Google."  Personally, I think "Fear the Cloud" might have been a little closer to the mark.  

Margaret Atwood's next novel won't be published until 2114: "Atwood has just been named as the first contributor to an astonishing new public artwork. The Future Library project, conceived by the award-winning young Scottish artist Katie Paterson, began, quietly, this summer, with the planting of a forest of 1,000 trees in Nordmarka, just outside Oslo. It will slowly unfold over the next century. Every year until 2114, one writer will be invited to contribute a new text to the collection, and in 2114, the trees will be cut down to provide the paper for the texts to be printed – and, finally, read."

Wait, why doesn’t this D&D Viewmaster include a slide of the party sitting in a tavern, bickering about which quest to go on?

Water Tank Project Transforms NYC Roofs Into Museums In The Name of Conservation

We suppose the phrase “outlawed taxidermy” should probably frighten us, yet we find ourselves strangely intrigued...

What happens when you break a sculpture in a gallery Gallery patron sits on bench in gallery, turns out bench was artwork, bench breaks?  Ethical and financial panics ensue.  The When You Work at a Museum tumblr is full of stories like these (and other entertaining indignities)
