Project 1 Part 1

Link 1 Mario Nevado http://aegis-strife.net
Mario's artwork is very colorful and richly vivid. I really like his semi-realistic and high contrast images. He uses semi dark themes but very tastefully tho.
Link 2 Alex Grey http://www.sacredmirrors.org
Alex Grey is very metaphysical/new age spiritual which he uses as a source of inspiration for his artwork. Most of his work is very interesting as it encompasses many unique ideas and displays them in very rich color and illustrations.
Link 3 Jared Tarbell http://levitated.net
This site is very stimulating, there is a lot of exhibitions, images, information about the artwork it is almost too busy. Many of the themes seem very scientific/mathematical which I find very interesting. The colors are very vivid which is a huge plus for me. I love vivid colors.

Question 1: For me the internet is like the Wild West. There is so much happening unregulated and otherwise that there is something for everyone and everything. Whether you are looking to raise awareness about something, sell something or talk about something you are able to do so. The internet is still a tool though, and its uses are countless and not fully explored yet. For artists this is a vestige of hope because paying people to get your name out there can be costly and time consuming.

Question 2: Artists use the internet in so many ways such as advertising, research, communication or even as a medium in itself where a User can interact with the artwork.
