acrylicize...
Introducing the next generation of art
A revolutionary fusion of art and design, acrylicize... drags canvas into the 21st Century, creating modern artworks which are set to be the hot addition to homes, clubs and bars in 2007.
Currently being snapped up by celebrities like George Michael, bars such as ISIS, hotels like The Cumberland, and premiership football clubs like Arsenal, acrylicize has become the must have artwork for any space.
The acrylicize B.I.D.A award winning concept blurs the boundaries between art and design. Aluminium fixings embellished with acrylicize’s trademark seal holds the image away from the wall allowing light to permeate, creating a 3D effect. Acrylicize’s product has won them international industry recognition, and their success stems from the quality of their product and unique expertise. They offer a range of bespoke services catering for the individual as well as corporate clients, resulting in them being the foremost supplier of the acrylic canvas in the UK.

Post Secret
|
Editorial Reviews
PostSecret
At the beginning of 2005, Frank Warren launched a new blog called PostSecret as an experiment in community art, inviting strangers to mail him anonymous postcards that made art out of their innermost secrets and then posting a selection of the cards every week on his blog. Within a year, his blog was one of the five most popular in the world, and his first book, PostSecret, was one of the surprise bestsellers of 2005. My Secret is his second book, a collection of cards from teens and college students--none of which has been shown on the website--that carries the same emotional power and creativity that have made Warren's project a phenomenon.
To mark the launch of My Secret, Warren is sharing with us seven postcards from the book that haven't been seen on the website. We'll post one card a day beginning on October 17 and ending on October 23, the day before My Secret is released. Come back every day and see what's new.

Yahoo Time Capsule - Modern Art

Yahoo builds digital time capsuleArchive to be sealed until 2020
Shaun Nichols in California, vnunet.com 11 Oct 2006
ADVERTISEMENTYahoo has kicked off a project to build a digital time capsule, allowing users to submit stories, photos, videos, artwork and poetry through the project's website.
The Yahoo Time Capsule submissions will be collected until 8 November, when it will be sealed and stored at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC.
Yahoo plans to reopen the digital archive in 2020 to mark the firm's 25th anniversary.
The capsule was designed by artist Jonathan Harris, and allows users to submit items under themes such as love, anger, fun and faith.
The Time Capsule website shows a rotating sphere containing pictures of the 100 most recent entries, as well as an index of all entries by theme. On the bottom of the page is a clock counting down the time remaining until the capsule is sealed.
The site also records submissions in several categories, including country, age, gender and theme.
In addition to contributing to the capsule, Yahoo is asking users to vote on how to distribute a $100,000 donation to be made by the company.
Before the capsule in sealed, Yahoo plans to project the content onto the side of the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacán, Mexico.

Inspiration
|
For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life.
But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.
So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
