• Postcards From LA 7/31/03 
  Description: sometimes words aren't enough
  Comments: Tamar lives in "a land of palm trees and playgrounds" with her husband, son, and cat.  Since late April, she's been taking pictures daily with her trusty digital camera.  Enjoy the postcards – there's some beauties...
   
• nowheregirl 7/29/03 
  Description: an online comic
  Comments: Justine, who does all the colorful artwork and quite intelligent writing herself, says "the story is me trying to make sense of it all, and confront some of my own prejudices."  There's two chapters online so far.  "Imaginary friend" has 43 pages, and the second chapter, "better world," is 30-pages long.  Some production!  "There's only the one of me doing this."  Could've fooled me...
   
• StyleReactor 7/17/03 
  Description: experimental multimedia art
  Comments: Staying on a path.  Today's pick was a previous site of the month* at yesterday's pick.  The path from Portugal led to Copenhagen where multimedia artist Kasper Ledet shares his print, interactive, and photo works.  "Electric Avenue" and "Chemical Garden" are static illustrations clearly reflecting Kasper's unique style and there's 18 more cool works in print.  "Organic Flash 02" is one of a dozen interactive pieces -- I love it!  I looked at 2 of the 3 photo series and was simply blown away.  This is the site's fourth version since 2002 (all versions still accessible).  Kasper calls it a "self promotional website" to "show the skills."  It certainly does...
   
• Robyn's Secret Passage 7/6/03 
  Description: It's a collection of vowels and consonants put into place with little letters in angle brackets.
  Comments: Robyn loves to write and her "secret passage" is a long list of pieces going back to 1996.  She warns the îthe older it is, the less likely I am to like it, or still feel that way."  I found "My First Rant" and "Spamorama" quite amusing and really enjoyed some of her writing about music and concerts, including her most recent post about Ja Rule.  She's not wild about his music, pointing out some of the graphic language and a certain attitude he has.  This was a direct hit for me because last time I met my buddy Dave* for a few brews, I mentioned to him how ridiculous some of Ja Rule's lyrics were.  Okay, I admit here right now that I do own a Ja Rule CD, thank you.  Anyway, despite Robyn's dislike of the singer, she found herself wrapped up in "doing some Ja Rule spotting" and trying to get her CD autographed when he was in town.  Yep, she ended up "clutching" her very own copy at the "Sounds" store where he was to be "making an appearance.  Though she failed to get it autographed, you can tell she enjoyed every minute of it.  I did too!  There's more to the site than the secret passage.  A lot more writing plus some odd fun like "Cocktails and Entertaining with Bob and Karen" and the "Bad Wicked Evil Web Page."  Not to worry, Robyn. I got it and have no dumb questions for ya... ;~))  [OriginArt < James Burgess < For The Masses]
   
• Gridface 7/5/03 
  Description: electronic music & digital art since 1996
  Comments: The most recent music review covers "Wackies: African Roots Act 1" for "connoisseurs of otherworldly dub."  In the Gallery, you'll find videography by a guest artist.  Both of those sections have big archives, but leaving the best for last, don't miss the 8 series of tasty desktops.  Cityscape, railyard, and rock.  Electronic music + digital art.  Nice work Jacob!  [Shaking Through.net]
   
• Karin Hanssen 7/2/03 
  Description: paintings and drawings
  Comments: Web paths know no borders.  I could take a quick trip to the Big Apple as I did yesterday, or places like Belgium, the UK, Australia, or Japan, which just happen to be other locales visited by coolstop in the last 7 days.  If you wanna talk about the power of the web, you can't ignore its global nature.  Again today, we're in Belgium, probably because word-of-mouth led a talented artist in that part of the world to make me aware of her site.  Our last stop in Antwerp was about photography, while this stop is about paintings, collageprints, and drawings from one Karin Hanssen, who's been exhibiting her works since the early 90s.  Extraordinary works I would not have been aware of had she not reached out by email.  For that, I am grateful .  Traveling the world virtually, I love the web!
