Graciously Concur
Sometimes in life, or life deferred
those of us who graciously concur
see some of the best expressions
pure desire in its deepest relevance
sorrow, pain and downright malevolence
while breathing in these moments
one might be refered to as "on the fence"
at one glance, beauty divine
at the opposing view, ultimate demise
with such flimsy boundaries between the two
one might question if the divide exists at all
not so much a divide, as a gateway
where clarity meets dubiousness
honor meets ultimate scoundrelism
and if the difference in positions is only imagined
then those who graciously concur
would believe to the farthest capacity
that we remain not only at the very beginning
but at the very end as well
waiting graciously to concur

Mediaburn Editor's tip: During the creative process, place your artwork upside down. Check it out from time to time. How does it look upside down?
Art Advice: Use a Mirror.One of the most important things when making artwork is receiving creative criticism from someone who hasn''t seen your work yet. They'll be able to spot things out of proportion, find parts that are out of balance, and find things that just don't... look right in general. Sometimes when working, it can be difficult to spot your own mistakes, most likely because you've been working on this piece for X-amount of time, and during that time you felt confident that every line went down with elegant beauty and careful precision.
Looking at a work for so long can eventually make you unable to see what's "wrong", as you've been working towards perfection, and, as you feel, it has to be perfect so far.
But, take a step back from your work. Actually, take a few steps back and hold it in front of a mirror. Then see what happens...
My my my! That might not be what you'd anticipated it to look like at ALL- this is off, that eyeball's out of place, that arm's waay too big...
What viewing your work in front of a mirror does is it allows you to see it from "fresh eyes". You haven't seen it in reverse yet. And looking at it in reverse, you will see a whole new composition. Critiquing your own work in front of a mirror will help you see what's on your critiquer's minds. You'll be able to spot your own mistakes and will be able to fix them much easier than if you hadn't viewed it in a mirror before!
Always do this when you've gotten most of your general sketching of a piece done. That way, you[base ']ll be able to fix any problems before you set out to work; and after you start working, it can be very challenging to remedy your mistakes (especially when working with ink!)
Happy arting!

A Hat by Any Other Name. Papierdoll Recommends:
While many may proclaim millinery a dead art, some would argue that it is not dead, just in suspended animation for all to see. Our take: hats are classic and will never, ever go away. Tell milliners Leah C and Stephen Jones that hats are dead, they'll scoff and turn their nose up at [...] []

More from the blogosphere...
I'm Not A Young Man Anymore.. A previously unreleased track by the Velvet Underground; listen to it here [Dead Flowers weblog]. Part of the Live at the Gymnasium, NYC, 1967 recording, which also features the debut performance of Sister Ray. Here's an interesting thread in a forum about the bootleg. The sound quality is amazing, all the songs almost sound like outtakes from the Banana Album sessions.[...] I can already say that, in addition to the historical importance of these five recordings, this thing rocks like a motherfucker.
Update: More about the record and its history in this thread at The Velvet Underground Forum.

Video - Beck "Timebomb".
The last time we heard from Beck, he was typing up the correct lyrics for his Odelay Deluxe Reissue on his website. Today we got word that the artist released a new video for "Timebomb," that features artwork by photographic artist Chris Jordan. Yes, it contains a message too.
Still wanting in on some more of Beck's action? Don't forget to enter for our contest for some wax.
