✦ More than 200,000 artworks have been made accessible at Art UK, a site that eventually will include images of every publicly owned painting, drawing, sculpture, and print in the country. The site owes its creation to Bob and Roberta Smith. (Read Maev Kennedy's Guardian article about Art UK.)
✦ My friend Seth Apter (The Altered Page) recently spotlighted Roxanne Evans Stout's forthcoming book Storytelling with Collage: Techniques for Layering, Color and Texture (North Light Book, March 10, 2016). Available to pre-order in paperback or for Kindle, the craft book includes collage prompts that guide one through each step in the creation of a collage. Sure to be a best-seller!
