The Paintings of David Oleski The Studio Journal
The Current Edition: Autumn of the Year 2008
Ah yes, a brand new issue of the official newspaper of the DavidOleski.com website, the Studio Journal of David Oleski. Smell the freshly dried smear-proof ink, feel the crisply folded sections. Here you can find the dramatization of the day to day grind, color in the otherwise colorless doldrums of existence, music heard through the monotonous droning of routines broken only by the marking of each plodding hour of tedium.
See the Gallery for some exciting detailed images of the artist's work.
Monday, October 27, 2008Although it does seem like radio silence from my studio, I've been hard at work. Aside from a few small paintings being kicked out here and there, I've been busy working on a major upgrade to my website. I'm just starting on the brutally steep learning curve of switching my entire website over to a dynamically updated and subscribable (if that's a word) database. I'm using a platform called Textpattern, and I'm experiencing varying degrees of success and failure and frustration. If anyone out there in my vast readership thinks they can offer any input on this supposedly "flexible, elegant and easy-to-use content management system", I'd welcome any assistance. In particular, I'm struggling with such simple topics as target="_blank" and embedded scripts, such as the massive block of code that my streaming studio cam uses. So, feel free to contact me if you are willing to offer assistance in this, and thank you all in advance.
