Listen this morning to Atheists Talk

This morning I'll be on Atheists Talk with science artist Lynn Fellman, hosted by Mike Haubrich.

We'll be discussing art and science, and I can't wait.

The show will be online at http://mnatheists.org/content/view/529/1/ at 10am Eastern, 9 am Central time.

And you'll be able to hear the podcast, likely later today. If you're attending ScienceOnline11, it will touch on some of the issues at the Art + Science session.

This Sunday - on Atheists Talk Radio with Lynn Fellman

This Sunday 5th December, I'll be taking part in a discussion on Atheists Talk Radio with Lynn Fellman and our host Mike Haubrich.

I'll post the link on Sunday. You'll be able to listen afterward as a podcast, and an iTunes download!  Lynn and I will be discussing science-art, atheism and influence with Mike.

You can listen for the sound of my mouth hanging open as I gawp at Lynn's continued science-art awesomeness. Bonus points if you hear a drosophilia flying in.

Science-Art Scumble #4

Scumble:

"A painting technique in which semi-opaque or thin opaque colors are loosely brushed over an underpainted area so that patches of the color beneath show through." 

From The Artist's Handbook, by Ray Smith.  

A weekly digest to highlight some of the posts I found most interesting, most provocative, or otherwise caught my eye from the Science Artists Feed. Sit back, have a coffee and enjoy.

For next week:

There's been a change on deviantArt, that popular website for artists.  They now have RSS feeds for individual galleries.  I'll be adding a few of these to the Science Artists Feed for next week, including some of my favourite artists who consistently challenge and delight.

Art Monday: the green guy

An up-close detail of the green guy in my painting Symbiosis (oil on canvas).  I like how the canvas texture came out in this shot. His head tattoo says, "This body corrodes yet still I can move".

You can see the whole painting here.
You can purchase my 2011 Calendar with the image above, here.
