Art is everywhere, it’s even hanging on the entry wall of your search engine. Have you viewed the online art gallery happening on Google’s homepage? Today it’s a static image celebrating the 115th Anniversary of the Discovery of X-Rays,<\/p>\n

but on October 9 it was a beautiful, animated illustration honoring John Lennon’s birthday which had to be approved by EMI Music<\/a> and then Yoko Ono<\/a> herself.<\/p>\n

According to Mike Dutton, the member of Google’s five person Doodling team who was assigned to create the Lennon doodle, “I was inspired by [John Lennon’s] self-portrait.”<\/p>\n

Dutton continues, “Our doodles can sometimes be these very painterly, detailed compositions, which is great for the occasions we are creating them for. But there\u2019s a running joke that sometimes there\u2019s nothing very \u201cdoodle-ish\u201d about them! John\u2019s sketch, on the other hand, is really just that \u2014 it\u2019s a doodle. I wanted to carry that quality over into the animated sequence. I wanted it to be \u201cdoodley\u201d with loose, gestural line work, while also having it be something viewers could easily relate to and identify with.”<\/p>\n

According to CNET, "Google was running an internal competition to see which group can come up with the best version of its corporate logo. Naturally, the Doodle team came up with something special: this design, which is on the wall in the team's office area." Credit: Google Photo: Daniel Terdiman\/CNET<\/p><\/div>\n

When asked by the blog CulturePop<\/a>, “Which visual artists inspire you?” Dutton said, “Originally, illustrators from the golden age, like Norman Rockwell<\/a> and NC Wyeth<\/a>. Now I look at contemporary children\u2019s book illustrators like Charley Harper<\/a>, whose style has more of a design\/fine art fusion. I also like the French children\u2019s book illustrator Rebecca Dautremer<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Dutton further explains what’s in his artist’s tool kit, “A giant digital drawing tablet that Google provides me. I\u2019m able to mimic the properties of traditional art mediums digitally. I always have a set of gouache paints in a bag and a sketchbook, but I don\u2019t always have time to open my sketchbook.”<\/p>\n

So, yet again the concept of the term ‘gallery’ has been reinvented. From the comfort of your own couch, desk, or iPhone you can view, shop for, and buy art. (Wink, wink.) Isn’t technology wonderful?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
