Former President Bill Clinton, Painted From Life by Elijah McKenzie-Jackson, Unveiled in Solo Exhibition
Very few artists have painted an American president from life. Gilbert Stuart painted George Washington from sittings. Elaine de Kooning sketched John F. Kennedy in Palm Beach as he moved, talked and read. London-born painter Elijah McKenzie-Jackson has now painted former President Bill Clinton the same way.

Move over David here comes The Thinker
The Thinker sculpture by Auguste Rodin is another of my favorite art pieces. I have a sculpture of The Thinker of my own because I love it so much. Also this piece like all of the others I have written about have always spoken to me and left an impression on me. I found the statue at a Home Goods store and I could not resist.

Ron Pokrasso: The Beautiful Trouble of Making
By Brian D’Ambrosio The print shop is a place of stains. Ink gets under the fingernails. Solvent hangs in the air. Paper takes the pressure of the press and remembers it. Metal remembers it, too. Everything leaves a trace. For Ron Pokrasso, that is part of the attraction.

Obsessed With This Pokémon Card. Top Story - September 2026.
I started collecting Pokémon cards for the first time in an effort to bond with my son after three years of battling his mother to have visitation with him. Pokémon video games were what we bonded over ever since he was little and I handed him all of my old Game Boys and Pokémon games. As he got older, I would buy him the new consoles and games, and Pokémon’s new releases always seemed to coincide with his birthday.

You’re Not Broken: You’re Just Trapped in the Feeling of Suffering
At 2:17 a.m., the phone screen was still lit. Scrolling down the Douban topic page: 1,359 posts, 1.764 million views. The water glass sat at the corner of the desk, a ring of tea stain at the bottom. Thumb swiping past. Someone wrote: “Cambridge: ‘Don’t give off an air of hardship.’” Someone wrote: “One year of work, take-home pay 10k a month, spent it all every month.” Someone wrote: “Dad is about to lose his job.” Someone wrote: “My boyfriend’s parents say a woman has no value if she doesn’t have kids.” Someone wrote: “Almost raped by a university student, will keep updating on the progress.” Someone wrote: “Why is Douban so negative now?”

Industrial Still Life
This work presents a study in compositional equilibrium, achieved through a stark juxtaposition of mass, fragility and luminance. Occupying the central-left register is an industrial lathe, a specimen of mechanical density that anchors the pictorial space. To its right a single lightbulb provides a delicate counterpoint to the machine’s heavy verticality. The painting is defined by a sophisticated spatial compression, where the background is divided into two distinct tonal realms: a deep, scumbled abyss of shadow on the left and a vibrant, saturated yellow on the right. This transition is not merely decorative; it establishes tension between the "darkness of the past" and a heralded technological future.

The Selena Salt portrait
I find it amazing what can be done using salt for artsake for example in this case there is a San Antonio, Texas artist named Rob The Original who had done a portrait of Selena using only salt and that is just an amazing idea. When the artist was creating this one of a kind portrait 250,000 people watched as this amazing work of art was being created. Selena’s brother AB Quintanilla was also present for the creation of the Selena salt portrait. The presentation was held at a Mexican restaurant located somewhere in San Antonio. It is too bad that salt can not be framed.
