This art news post is rather late and I do apologize for that. I am going to try and make this Art News post really count. Things have been very hectic here at Carmine Magazine headquarters what with the holiday season. (Not to mention I woke up this morning to the news that my black & blue 30GB Zune decided to commit suicide along with every other Zune of it’s kind all around the world. Read about that on Wired.com.) Look for an official welcome to 2009 post in the next few days here on Carmine Magazine featuring a poll (hopefully), a video (maybe) and news on the plans/ideas I have for the site in 2009. The image above would probably be more appropriate for that post, but it’s just too pretty not to share. Be sure to check out Amy Gwatkin’s and Anna Leader’s Mishkin project for more of their photography.

• NOTCOT.COM recently did a feature on the 1800 Tequila Limited Edition Artist Bottles. The bottles are gorgeous and Jean’s photos highlight their beauty quite well. Check out the feature here.
• Check out these beautiful glass skeletons from Melli-Ink.
• BibliOdyssey recently posted scans from some original Winnie the Pooh drawings. These are definitely worth checking out.
• One of my new favorite blogs, Environmental Graffiti recently posted a feature (the images on the post are now broken) on photographer Frank Relle. He specializes in taking pictures of the destruction that still plagues New Orleans, Louisiana years after Hurricane Katrina. Check out the haunting galleries.
• Logo Design Love interviewed Sol Sender, who led a design team for the Obama 08 logo, about some of the logos they tried out before settling on the final logo. It’s interesting to see the progression of the logo ideas. Read Obama logo ideas that weren’t chosen.
• Alan Valek posted 100 Cereal Box Covers. It’s really interesting to see how popular cereal brands have changed over the years.
• Green Upgrader shows us Solar Powered Sidewalk Art: The One Day Poem Pavilion.
