Here is something to read...

I never read Daniel Mitsui's blog until today, when Amy Welborn mentioned it, and I went off to take a look. On it I found this essay, which is quite interesting. Definitely worth a read.

If his background weren't all black, I would give points for the visuals on his blog, too. He has a good eye for art and architecture, if only the text weren't on that eye-straining black background.

You know, there is an art magazine that does a great job of using a black ground for almost everything, though. FMR, out of Italy, is probably the most beautiful art magazine out there. It also comes with good articles, which is something totally absent from the mainstream "watch the fads of the 'avant-garde'" magazines that clutter up the American art scene (the worst being ArtWeek, a monthly (!) rag out of that center of culture, San Jose, that somehow still survives, even though it neither interesting nor good).
