Here is a great site that shows you the inspiration behind alot of Lichtensteins works. I think the word appropriate is an understatement once you look at this. Just by bringing these images into the art world he is changing them. He repainted by hand dot by dot which is an effort I suppose but what does it leave those that gave him the original images? Any comments?

Keeping busy

When a busy independent working women decides to reproduce it throws their world into a tailspin. Going from 12-16 hour days to staying at home and growing a baby can really mess with the brain. Sooooo. I have decided to start making things and blogging about art and crafty things just to keep busy. If somebody reads this then great! If not then atleast it is keeping me from sitting on the couch and surfing TV. I think the internet has a 10 point lead on TV in terms of value so lets go with that thought for now. Oh and I love playing computer games too so the odd post here and there may contain some geeky stuff or some newbie how to's for those not in the know.
For my first post Ill begin with a whole bunch of sites I have visited lately that seem somewhat interesting and have induced my creative juices.

http://www.etsy.com
ETSY of course. I mean it drives me crazy that there are so many things on Etsy now but I still keep coming back and still keep my own shop open.

Gossip
I used to read Perezhilton.com but after a while I realised he was just slammin all the women and not really slammin any men. He is a fat misogynistic twirp really. I even think he steals most of his content from dlisted.com from as far as I can tell so go there if you need some gossip. Its way funnier.
