For Appreciative Geeks: Molly Dilworth’s Rooftop Paintings
Fine art and geekdom don’t often cross paths, but when a talented artist creates something that might be viewed from space, she scores major geek points.
Molly Dilworth’s latest artistic expression has her painting rooftops - ones that can be seen by satellites orbiting the Big Blue Marble. While those of us gravity-bound to the ground will only be able to see her work through her Flickr photostream and the occasional perfect-vantage-point, perhaps we should nag - er, politely suggest to the folks at Google Earth that they take a few digital images so we can view them through the application in the near future.
I could wax poetic about Dilworth all day long - my house is practically an art gallery of her work - but photos and various posts and articles on the web will do it better. This article includes fabulous shots of her works-in-progress, as does this one (though some of the page’s other posts are rated R).
Read Italian? How about French? Live in NY and want to get in touch with her to commission a rooftop painting of your own? Check out her web site for contact info.
