After his successful opening at LoLa 41 last week we thought you might like this Kerry Hallam interview we found on YouTube, with the great man waxing lyrical and talking of ”Painting.. the telling of beautiful untruths”.
You can also pick a copy of his book Getting To Nantucket: An Artist’s Journey on Amazon.

Next Tuesday (July 2nd) has been officially designated Unofficial International WordPress Day by the folk over at WPCandy and they have some pretty good stuff to give away to celebrate. For anyone who dosn’t know, Wordpress is a open source publishing platform allowing users to build blogs and CMS websites with the minimum of coding knowledge (we use it here at Nantucket Art). Here’s what we’re giving away:
All you have to do to enter is post a blog entry about Wordpress and link back to WPCandy. Head over there to find out more..

Being a web designer and a practising artist sometimes can be hard; the disciplines of graphic design can be a world away from the raw creativity required in painting. But it’s often refreshing to remember that there are some absolutes that all creatives can learn from - such as the Basic Elements of Design posted over on Just Creative Design by Jacob Cass. Even if these rules do exist JUST to be broken, it’s worth brushing up on some of them every now and again.

After 30 years the first Beach Boys solo album, Dennis Wilson’s Pacific Ocean Blue , finally get’s the reissue it deserves. It’s been something of a lost masterpiece since it’s release in 1977 - and to this days still stands up as a haunting masterpiece, everything thing about it feels like a lovesong to the ocean, and after years of owning a ragged but treasured bootleg copy we are the Nantucket Art offices are happy it’s finally available on CD.

A week of star spotting on Nantucket Island culminates this weekend with the 13th Nantucket Film Festival. Unlucky perhaps for anyone attempting to nip into town WITHOUT spotting a celeb…
Guests of honor included actress Meg Ryan dropping in to receive the first Compass Rose Acting Tribute and scriptwriter, producer and director of ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin’ and ‘Knocked Up’ Judd Apatow receiving the NBC Universal Screenwriters Tribute.
The festival culminates tonight over at The Starlight with ‘The Wackness’, the offbeat tale of a New York drug dealer starring Josh Peck, Ben Kingsley and Famke Janssen.

We spent a couple of hours on YouTube scoping out the Nantucket content and found some nice clips on there posted by Doerte Neudert at the Art Cabinet, including this virtual tour of the gallery.. a great idea.

Woke up this morning to find the Myspace makeover had gone live (checkout our Nantucket Art MySpace). The main changes you’ll notice on the user end are the tabbed video pages which streamline the layout quite a bit. In the admin area the main nav bar has also gone tabular, helping the user experience.
Thing is thou, the problem with MySpace never was the back-end, it was the amount of java customization allowed on user pages, slowing the whole experience at best, or crashing your machine at worst. Maybe MySpace aren’t out of the race yet - but until they address that headache they won’t be leading the pack.
