31 Gorgeous Contemporary Abstract Paintings by Mario Martinez
Aug 19, 2009 Inspiration
MARS-1 (aka Mario Martinez) is a left-handed artist who spends most of his time in the right side of his brain, communicating through a visual language. His unique imagery explores possibilities of otherworldly existence through highly developed, multi-layered landscapes. Often employing a fuzzy-logic aesthetic, Mars-1’s artwork has a sentient appearance, like a tulpa—which in mysticism, is the concept of a materialized thought that manifests into physical form. His unique style has been described as urban-Gothic, sci-fi abstracted, quasi-organic form.
Early inspirations include: graffiti, animation, comic book characters, ufology, extraterrestrials, unexplored life, mysteries of the universe, alternate realities and the abstract quality of existence. At the age of 13, Mars-1 began writing graffiti in his hometown of Fresno. He later attended Academy of Art in San Francisco, where he currently lives and works, remaining heavily active in the city’s contemporary art scene.
The true meaning of Mars-1’s imagery is ultimately left to the viewer’s interpretation. The artist feels this brings his creations full-circle, encouraging his audience not only to decipher the messages he wishes to convey but to receive thoughts and ideas of their own, as well.

20 Fresh Vector Illustrations
Aug 13, 2009 Inspiration
By Nate Jelovich
The main difference between vector illustrations and others, such as bitmap (aka raster), is that vectors will not degrade in quality no matter how large they are scaled. Vectors work by using mathematical formula to store the data such as lines, shapes and colors. Where bitmap images (which account for nearly all images displayed online) are composed of pixels, vectors are composed of points, lines and curves. As you can imagine, working with vector images provides much more flexibility.

Web Picks #12
Feb 16, 2009 Best of the Web
It’s been really busy lately in real life for me, so if you were wondering about the lack of new posts, that’s why. If anyone out there is interested in writing articles along with me, let me know. I’ve got some good plans for where I want this blog to go, but lack of time is definitely restrictive.
Anyways, enough of that depressing stuff, time for another web picks. This past week there seemed to be a large focus on 3-dimensional art, so several of the good articles will reflect this. There’s also some good tutorials and a few other goodies, so be sure to check them out.
As always, thanks for reading and commenting. It means a lot to know that when I devote time to blogging, people actually find what I write useful. Have a great week everyone.
