blainegarrett

One foot in the hustle and bustle of the wonderful Twin Cities and the other foot deeply planted in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. I suppose "urban lumberjack" might be the appropriate term. I am a recent Computer Science and Art graduate from The University of Minnesota. By day I am a web developer for this here site, and by night I am the Executive Director of TC based Adamantine Arts as well as an aspiring artist, musician, and experimental cook. I am working on being involved more in the community here, so please consider me to be just another member. I usually am interested in art, music, politics, and humor stories. Yup, so that is me in a nutshell. Word.

Art & Design – Adamantine Arts' 3rd installment of their Spring 2007 Art Discussion Series with Scott Stulen is now online. This session covers the resurgence of drawing as an art form and the reasons including the post 911 art market, falling away from digital medium, and the return to representation. My favorite is the lifesize drawing of the Cadliac Escalade.

Is the American Empire on the Brink of Collapse?

Politics – U.S. military expert Chalmers Johnson argues the catastrophe in Iraq and the staggering cost of running a military that stretches across 130 countries on 737 bases may finally cost America its empire. I believe that we're close to a tipping point right now. What happened to the Soviet Union between 1989 and 1991 could easily be happening to us for
