Denny Dent was an amazing and unique artist. Word’s don’t do him justice, but here is a little excerpt from his Web site followed by a video which will instantly let you know why his work was so unique.

Denny Dent has been described as the world’s only “rock and roll painter”. The painting was secondary to Denny. The message was most important. His message was to stir creativity in people.

His repertoire featured renderings of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, and Tina Turner, to name a few.

With three brushes in each hand, Denny paints portraits on six foot canvasses in the time it takes to play a few carefully selected pieces of music. Whether painting Jimi Hendrix, General Colin Powell, Jack Niklaus or Martin Luther King, Jr.

The artist himself refers to his work as “a passionate dance on canvas,” and those who have seen his creations are compelled to agree.

Hi kids. Today’s art lesson comes in the form of England’s most popular and well known graffiti artist. How popular is he? Well, two men were actually convicted in a UK court for defacing one of his works. That’s right. He tagged a building, they covered it up, and they went to jail!

Banksy is no street thug. He is a serious artist that happens to have an addiction to spray painting his art in public places. His art features striking and humorous images occasionally combined with slogans. The message is usually anti-war, anti-capitalist, anti-establishment or pro-freedom.

I love photography. But only really good photography.

It is a skill that some people have elevated to an art, being a true admirer, I’ve decided to create a regular series of featured photographers with collections on the Web.

BE WARNED! Photographers take pictures of places, things and people. Sometimes naked people. If you are sensitive to nude men, naked women or wet fruit please move on to another article.

I’m not exactly sure how to describe this work, so I’ve decided to call it perpetually destructive performance painting.

Essentially a group of artists start with a canvas of some sort and begin painting and repainting it while a stop motion camera makes a video record of the process.

It allows art lovers to view the entire creative process in a very short time and also demonstrates the skill and imagination of the artists involved.
