I just put things up, and then I think about them.
Talking about art isn’t easy. And it’s not supposed to be. I like how Sharon thinks about things. She’s honest at the expense of herself “I just put things up and then I think about them”- I appreciate that. Unlike the pretentious gentlemen, Mr. Laughy-Pants, who is interviewing her. He’s so desperately trying to sound … Read more
Vendor Remnants
Vendors sure do send me a lot of crap. It’s such a huge waste of paper. I feel bad throwing it away, so I have made a concerted effort to collect it and make it into art instead. Now I have a huge drawer full of scrap direct mail junk from photographers, illustrators, etc. Here … Read more
Paint makes me happy.
Another sketchbook entry.
Homage to the Mouse King.
I have been inspired lately to create an alphabet poster as an homage to Mickey Mouse. Here’s a sneak peek at a few of the characters I’m working on (directly from my sketch book.)
Strata: Layers | Chrome: Color
I love this work by David Spriggs. It’s minimalistic in nature, yet creates a complex visual experience. He traditionally uses one color and layers it over transparent sheets of glass or film. He has termed this process Stratachrome meaning layers & color.
What to draw? Anything.
Back when I attended art school, you couldn’t find me without a sketch book – ever. It was the way I observed the world. But then life happened, and I got got up in the “go” of it all – deadlines, meetings, late nights. Recently I found one of my old sketch books and it … Read more
Andy Goldsworthy: Quiet Nostalgia
Oh, Andy Goldsworthy… how your work changes me. When I look at Mr. Goldsworthy’s work, I want to step into the woods myself – to explore nature like when I was a kid. His work is romantic and nostalgic – if only for the reason of using materials one usually becomes acquainted with in childhood. … Read more
Mickey Smith : Dark Side of the Lens
Who doesn’t love surfing? Even if you don’t surf – one can’t help but be drawn to the idea of riding a wave. It’s a captivating thing to observe, so when I stumbled upon this video and photography while image searching today – I had to blog it. This video takes a look at the … Read more
Kanye Ballet
Although I don’t find Kanye’s full length video, Runaway, either inspiring or in good taste, I do love this segment of his film – also performed spectacularly on Saturday Night Live. Saturday Night Live Version: I was blown away when I saw this on TV – Kanye completely transcended SNL and made it his own. … Read more
Cody Hudson!!!!!!!!!!!
I came across the work of Cody Hudson today at the office. Quite a versatile guy. His design work is outstanding, but is fine art is even better – I’m especially compelled by his drawings and sculptures. His work seems strongest when working with minimal materials. As a very accomplished designer, his paintings sometimes begin … Read more
