                <description><![CDATA[trompe-l&#039;œil, french for deceive the eye, is a very old - i&#039;m talking ancient greek old, not hit clips old - artistic technique where 2d surfaces (like paper, canvas, walls) are turned into 3d works of optical illusion. i&#039;ve written about op art on here before, as well as one of the great modern artists in the space, rené magritte, so we all as a society know and can agree that this is totally my shit. The Human Condition, 1933 by Rene Magritte optical illusions often require a hyper-realistic d...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[i have wanted to talk about the art of fernando botero for a couple weeks and part of me wanted to wait until i spent a day with my dear pal, juan, who i had not seen in person in at least a year until last week. here we both are in 2015 dressed as wayne and garth from wayne&#039;s world. wanna feel old? a decade ago, i was working out of bocoup&#039;s nyc office near canal plastics. we had an awesome wall mural by my then-co-worker, isaac durazo. it was the coolest part of that office, followed closely b...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[one of my favorite things to look at are neon light sculptures. there was a time where most lights you saw outside were glass and gas, even behind plastic grocery store letters and deli signs. then LED lights hit the scene and the market for real neon tanked. to some relief, the art world, along with people nostalgic for the warmth of neon, started commissioning neon artisans for work or taking workshops to learn how to do it their own. i fall in the latter group, and i learned this history firs...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[a few years ago i was diagnosed with hashimoto&#039;s, an autoimmune disease of the thyroid, with one of the most self-disrupting symptoms at that time being hand tremors. when my hands shake, it makes for a very frustrating and unsuccessful session of drawing grids by hand for my pixel art paintings. autoimmune symptoms are typically heightened by the stress that they initially cause, a hilarious (laugh so i don&#039;t cry and get stressed out) and cruel cycle. to work through this adversity, i looked to...]]></description>
