The title refers to Robert Hughes' 1980 BBC TV series, chronicling modern art since the Impressionists. It's a catchy title despite having only a very tenuous link with the contents of this entry.

During my hiatus, I have been browsing dA and been bookmarking several artist who I think are worthy of note. My collection has exploded to include around 230 members, without even trying. Apparently I can't post more than 64 avatars at once, so i'm using links instead. I'm sure there are many more great artists here, but i'd like to give the ones I have found so far some exposure.

There may be some duplicates (because Firefox doesn't tell you if you have the same bookmark twice >_< ) but if anything it simply means that the work of that member caught my eye on more than one occasion.

In other news, i've been sneakily adding things to my scraps (there's that tenuous link). It's part of a major project that is taking far too long (don't they all) and i'm hoping to make it the best work i've ever done. I've had a really rough time personally over the last 20 months and have been very flaky as a result, and this has caused me to slow down much of my progress in 3D, but i'm hoping to put my nose to the grindstone and get it finished before Christmas, in time for the new year. Maybe 2010 will be kinder to me than 2008-2009.
