Does Jeff Koons 'own' all the balloon dogs in the... →

A thought-provoking article detailing the copyright issues concerning the production of balloon-dogs, and Jeff Koons’ consequent ‘claim’ over their sale. Despite his original appropriation of the object from mass culture, does Koons now have a right over their future manifestation in society?

yellowochreink asked: Wonderful! You should post some of your own work (you may already have done this, I haven't had a chance to look through properly yet). I started my tumblr as a way to inspire myself to work more, as I'm an undergraduate too (English and Classics) so need to make myself find the time to paint and draw!

yellowochreink asked: Just discovered your blog, I like it very much - I am glad that you have something to say about each of your posts, rather than just showing a stream of images with no opinions attached to them. Are you an artist yourself? Of course, by "artist", I don't necessarily mean that you have to get paid for it.
Thanks for posting such wonderful things.

Charles Saatchi Gives Art to the Nation →

Now. I haven’t touched the blog in months. And this saddens me considerably. What with University exams, I simply haven’t had the time to update it with anything. But I am now free, and plan to make up for lost time with some VERY interesting blogs. What’s more, I have managed to secure a period of work experience in London for 2 months, so will be able to update you all with...
