MySpace Gets A Makeover

Nantucket Art Myspace

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.



Are Money Shots the new Sleeveface..?

Moneyshot - is it Art?

Money Shots is the hot new internet guerilla art phenomenon hard on the heels of the Sleeveface craze. You can see more over at the Money Shots Flickr group. We’re concerned that all the notes used so far seem to be European – come on Nantucket – get involved… but is it ART ?? !!



Leroy Neiman Art Theft on Nantucket

Leroy Neiman Cioppinos Nantucket Painting International Cuisine

Cioppinos restaurants signature piece of Art “International Cuisine” – a signed limited edition print of Leroy Neiman’s, has been stolen this month.

Neiman is a widely know for his sports paintings seen around the world during coverage of the Olympics and other events. The signed art print taken from Cioppinos has hung in the dining room for the past 12 years and could be worth as much as $15,000.

“The person who took it knew what they were doing. They came right in and just took the print and nothing else,” said Root. “Nothing else in the restaurant was even slightly disturbed.”

Anyone with information is asked to call 239-370-7581 or the Nantucket Police Department at 508-228-1212. A cash reward will be offered.



Ninety-Eight Percent of Art is RUBBISH !!??


The Two Percent is a new Art site based in New York that claims only 2% of the cities galleries are worth seeing, and aims to show you which they are.

It’s a pretty aggressive stance to take – and we look forward to our next trip into the city to see if they got it right.
