Visual Arts - January 2007

For an art project on 'fear' I'm doing a modern-day variation of medieval art where heaven and hell is represented - in my paintings, rather than saints, celebrities and the like will wear the haloes, while images of starvation and aids will be in hell. I'm sorry if any Christian people think this is blaspemous or whatever, but that's really not the point I'm making - the idea of the project is to highlight the mindset of many people nowadays and how shallow the ideals of much of the world has become while real problems await the apparently condemned millions.

Anyway, what I need from anybody who knows this well are some medieval artists and pieces that show the traditional murals featuring heaven, hell, purgatory, earth, or all of them, in any way that might be useful to me. It would be especailly great if I can look at it on the Internet, look at it in a book, or especially if they are in Northern England so I can visit them. Many many thanks and eternal gratitude in advance!

I saw this poster in psychology class, but I do not know its name or artist. It has two children in the middle with invisible limbs. There are burning books, a crooked picture of the leaning tower of piza, a hot air baloon outside, a ship with water and other crazy things. What you see first reveals your inner desires (see the burning books, yearn for knowledge---see the crooked picture, yearn for order). I have looked everywhere but cannot find it! If anyone knows what I'm talking about I would be very appreciative.

In a celtic goods mag I recieved through the mail a few years ago, (I cant remember which one but I know it wasnt gryphons moon but a similar one) where they sell celtic jewelry, art, clothing such as capes, skirts, home decor, etc. I saw this art poster which displayed a baby with grass for hair, fairies around sitting in front of a wterfall or something with strange looking mystical creatures around. The title of it had "Dream" in the name but thats all I remember. I have googled this thing for months with no luck. Anyone remember this? I am desperate to find this art poster.

Gerald Kelly said that the portrait of a celbrated popular writer made him "look like an Old Chinese madame in a brothel in Shanghai". Does anyone know who the writer was or the name of the portrait?

It's for a quiz and I'm stuck

Does anyone know a way to paint on the big plastic trash cans? Latex paint didn't work, either did the spray paint used to paint on plastic. Any other ideas?

I have a picture from a camera phone that is 8x6 inches or 640x480 px. The photo is kind of pixelated, you can only see the pixels around edges. I wanted to know how to smooth out the picture without distorting the size.

I am always told it is so hard to make it in this business but how can it be when there are millions of magazines, cd covers, fashion, different stores, and just all kinds of stuff to work for I just don't get it?
