Alex Katz. Artist. Not the Cats we were talking about.
Welcome back to the LLOG BLOG, a weekly discourse on contemporary Arts and Culture with a little Art History sprinkled in for fun.
This week, our discussion centers around cats!
A Kitten. Internet picture.
Many of you may have thought I was talking about artist Alex Katz at first. Well I wasn’t.
But he was in the top 50 of your favorite artists, as voted on by you, the LLOG BLOG reader. More on that later.
“Self-Portrait (Passing).” Alex Katz. 1990. Screenprint in 23 colors.
Anyway, here is what I was talking about… Pictures of cats.
ART: PICTURES OF CATS
“Cat DMC” LMI. Pencil and pen on paper. About 2016?
Going back through the LMI Archives was a real hoot. Let’s look at another one.
Oh Yeah next to a painting of Oh Yeah and another painting of Fats.
Yes, this cat’s name is actually “Oh Yeah.” Pretty cool.
Now, do you want to have your mind completely blown? Right after we uploaded this pic, Barb found this early sketch of Crappy Garfield, which later became a large branch of the LOGMAN INDUSTRIES ART TREE:
“Crappy Garfield.” Sketch made w ball point pen, during an important work meeting.
Yeah. He is saying “Oh yeah” (probably because he is smoking that delicious cigarette) and that is also the name of the cat in the photo just before this! Completely random! Whoa!
Anyway, we won’t dive too deeply into Crappy Garfield today, but here is one more to chew on.
“Crappy Garfield: Blue Monday.” LMI. Pencil and Pen on paper.
I’ll let you figure out why this piece is pure genius.
OH! Remember this one?
Lynx. Internet pic.
That’s the cat from last week’s LLOG BLOG about LINKS. If you haven’t read it, we suggest you do so.
(That was a good idea from marketing. Very clever. The picture of the lynx which was a cat.)
Another sketch of a cat from the LMI archive.
Okay. That one is pretty good. Oh here’s a good one too:
“Clown Log.” LMI. Pencil on Paper. 2018?
That’s not a cat.
But this is.
Cat Sketch. Geez. What did that take, 1 minute?
And here’s one of Jazz:
“Jazz Log.” Pencil on paper. 1 minute.
If you have any Art or Culture regarding cats, please send it into us at info@logmanindustries.com.
Okay, “enough with the cat’s already” you’re saying, right?
Let’s do some quick hits from around the LOGMAN INSUTRIES UNIVERSE:
ART: AROUND THE WORLD IN 60 SECONDS
“Breakfast Face” LMI Breakfast foods and ceramic plate.
“A Dog Watching TV.” LMI. digital media.
“A Magic Lantern Projecting an Image of a Demon.” Giovanni Fontana. Manuscript Drawing. 1420. Weirdo Toleerdo.
Steve from the mailroom got crazy with the Logman Stamp again.
Okay, That’s about all of the Art news for this week.
