"Open Air" – by Mel Karch for Marie Claire Italy – January 2010

Can someone enlighten me as to who this model is? She brings life to already sublime scenery, a task difficult to master that can also go easily unnoticed.

I think we could all use a little open air, no? Lay on a cliff or something; it looks exhilarating.

Mark Weaver Screen Print & Graphic Art

The infamous Andy Warhol invented the so-called art form of screen prints, but many others have followed, and not necessarily right in his footsteps. It is only natural for art to develop and change over decades, and Mark Weaver is a perfect example of the change. However, like his predecessor, Weaver is very much embedded in pop culture: he has a facebook fan page, a twitter account (follow him), and a page on flickr.

His tongue-in-cheek screen prints often have large printed words, while other pieces simply let the objects/subjects speak to the viewer. Audiences can take away a multitude of meanings from his work; even the pieces that have words plastered across are open for interpretation. Found photography, architecture, bold-faced type and landscapes all make for an impressively postmodern form of artistic expression, which many may criticize (“I could do that”) while even more may adore (“How does he…?”).

Which category are you in?
