The History Of Art December 23, 2011

I could’t pass this piece of art without posting it on die without ART.

It have simple look, creative shortage of every artistic epoch and it have educative character :) what could you ask for more? ;)

You can recognize every artists style, I think that commenting on every style is not an essence of this post, so we will just skip that.

There are many artist in same epoch as one of these represented, but as you can see these are representatives according to artist of this piece of art…

Write a comment, give us response if you have something interesting on this subject…

One year. Amazing experience. A lot of fun! January 17, 2011

Everything started right after my second solo exhibition, exactly one year ago. In that moment, I just wanted to introduce myself and my creative work to the crowd. Exhibition “We are not alone” was opened on Thursday January 14. I bought this awesome domain name on Saturday, coded a very simple WordPress theme during that afternoon and my adventure has begun in the morning January 17.

Die without art was such an amazing experience for me. I’ve met many cool peeps, made lovely friends and had a lot of fun in general. Hooray!

I’d like to pick out some of my favorite posts. So, let’s go back in time a little bit. Stephen Morris made us crazy with his amazing creativity. You must see his jumps and standing-on-head’s. Incredible sisters Mirna and Martina told us their life stories. I felt a big responsibility to bring their story, amazing, must read. During the Stockholm Fashion Week I’ve presented Balkan-inspired clothes by Lamija Suljević. Her main inspiration was the Balkan traditions. Feeling when art makes you younger is very familiar to my dear friend Marta Lamovšek, I simply couldn’t believe she is older than thirty.

I’m very proud of two amazing interviews I did during the first year of Die without art—with professional fashion and portrait photographer Lindsay Adler and lovely Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind. Three guest bloggers helped me while I was away. Sky Nash wrote about five books she loves, Giulia Scifoni showed us photography in the opposite direction and Yamille Marmont presented an exclusive preview of 500 Seconds Of No Breathing, her most personal work ever and a collection of 20 years of images. Thank you girls.

I was dreaming about my studio, my own huge creative space where I can work on visual art projects with my friends. I was official blogger at my favorite regional photography festival Rovinj Photodays. That was awesome!

Thank you all for reading this blog, this is 110th post here. Happy first birthday Die without art! Cheers people, love you.

Where am I? May 17, 2010

Huh! That was one long and very busy week without any posts, sorry guys! I can’t really explain you how busy I am these days because of my high school graduating project and preparing for the art academy. There’s almost no time for sleeping, just drawing and drawing with some short coffee breaks. I hope everything will be done soon, in a few weeks – graduating project (this week) and my portfolio for the art academy (a week after). This a very important part of my life, thank you for understanding. I’ll be back soon, as soon as possible. By the way, today I’m celebrating 4 months of blogging at Die without Art. Hurey!

Wanna help? Submit your work!

I’m busy but that doesn’t means this blog will stay without new posts. I’m calling you, my dear readers, to help me! If you wanna share something creative with us please drop me a line to submit AT diewithoutart DOT com, thank you.

Craft has just came to the ville, craftsville May 9, 2010

Somehow, through Twitter I’ve found craftsville, a cute little blog. I wanted to know more about the background story and I sent my questions to lovely Michelle, one of the authors. Here’s how the story goes. Enjoy and don’t forget to visit craftsville.co.uk!

Helen and Michelle met last year. Michelle had been developing the idea of craftsville for quite some time and as soon as she saw Helen’s illustration work. Michelle knew Helen was just who she needs to collaborate with to make craftsville look beautiful! Craftsville runs from their kitchen tables, where they meet to discuss what they want to include on the site over coffee and cake!

A little bit more about Michelle

I am deeply in love with the following things: americana, burlesque, craft, drawing and embroidery and the fifties. In addition to running craftsville I also make things, run workshops, write for a magazine called Sew Hip! and am the director of Dr Sketchy Leeds. I also love to bake and go to swing jive classes! I will shortly be getting a pug and he will be called Walter.

…and Helen

Hi there my name is Helen, creator of all things memo. I’m an illustrator, part time screen print tutor and maker of handmade items. I graduated from Norwich School of Art & Design in 2007 with a first class BA (hons) degree in visual studies. I’m a big fan of typewriters, stationery, good cakes and dogs with hats on and loves writing and receiving letters.

How did they come up with the name craftsville?

As I have mentioned I am a big lover of americana and tagging the suffix ‘ville’ onto things always conjures up that retro american feel that I love so much! Also I loved the idea of it being like an imaginery little town that people can come and visit. We hope that everyone will love it and want to stay!

What they are writing on craftsville?

We will be interviewing lots of wonderfull creative people and taking a sneaky peek into people’s studios. There will be tutorials, reviews, giveaways and event listings. We will also be sharing all our good finds from the amazing work being done by independent artists, designers and makers because we think the world needs to see them!

Future plans

For the time being we will just be concentrating on making craftsville wonderful and making sure there is always lots of interesting stuff to read on the site. We do have lots of ideas for the future swimming around in our heads though so once that is done we will obviously don our twirly moustaches and plot world domination!

Thank you girls and good luck with your project!

INTERVIEW: Erin Loechner of Design for Mankind March 27, 2010

It was not easy to write this questions because Erin is very-very interesting person. She’s so kind girl behind the blog about art, award-winning Design for Mankind. I was really glad to do an interview with her. Meet Erin through answers.

You are writing a lot, really a lot, how it became your passion, job? Beginning!

I’ve always been a writer, ever since I can remember. My favorite movie/book growing up was “Harriet the Spy,” as I so badly my journals to be as interesting as hers. ;)

How’s being a half of BAKERY? Tell me more about the collaboration with Jaime?

Jaime is… fantastic. She’s the perfect counterpart for me in every sense—I tend to go with the flow of things, yet she’s much more serious and business-oriented. We joke that she’s the project manager and her biggest job is to manage my crazy!

I’ve found your articles all around the web. ShelterPop, DIY Life, Design Milk, Share Some Candy and more. How you catch it all?

It’s tough juggling a lot of jobs, but I couldn’t love it more. I like researching a variety of different topics until I can deem myself an expert, whether that be party-planning, fashion or home decor.

You’ve done 16 dialogues so far, can you tell me more about the behind scenes, recording techniques and how you are finding your guests?

Dialogue is soooo much work, but a ton of fun. I actually owe its success to the “cast” of contributors—they’ve worked hard to record their segments in the right lighting and come up with thought-provoking responses to my insane questions. I found my guests pretty simply—people I loved, respected and wanted to know more about.

In the Dialogue episode 2 you said you’ve quit your daily job and started freelancing. How your day looks like?

My day is pretty flexible—sometimes I sleep in, sometimes I don’t (although I get much more finished when I don’t!). I always, always make time for my daily yoga or kickboxing class, otherwise I have crazy pent-up energy. Other than that, it’s just me and the computer, hour after hour!

And finally blogging. I’m visiting your blog every day and think I’m feeling the spirit of it. What are your content resources? Do you have a blogging plan or just write by the free will?

I actually JUST started a blogging plan, or editorial calendar, to help with organizing myself. Normally, I just surf with no real goals and jump through the rabbit hole of the Internet. Either way works well for me, as I’m pretty easily inspired.

I actually don’t have a desk, as I’m in the middle of a fixer-upper! I often blog from local coffee shops and things.

Thank you Erin.

Hey there, dear friends.

I hope you understand how hard is doing everything alone to keep this blog alive. I've made it because I'm passionate about art & because I wanna celebrate it with you. I'm looking for more and I wanna share more, but I'm very busy doing commercial & personal photography work. So I paused a bit with blogging here.

You still can submit your art work and enjoy all hundered and ten published articles... till I come back with new interesting stories.

Make sure you have subscribed (rss) and you are following me on Twitter. Thanks. Much love!
