With everything in life Art is a learning experience. You’re always trying to improve, excel, and perfect your craft. New artists emerge everyday with unique styles and techniques. Through this outlet I will show who inspires me, my art, my opinions, thoughts and projects. May I invoke, inspire, people to discuss and be enticed by all things creative.VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.comBlogger26125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-50709461456076821692013-04-06T20:16:00.002-07:002013-04-07T10:27:29.156-07:00The Street-Art of P183<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;">

The mysterious street artist known only as P183 let little to be known of himself. Creating eye catching pieces of art throughout Moscow. Acquiring the nickname "Banski" to some, drawing comparison to Britain's Banksy. His mural-style graffiti may be where they get such a comparison. Both P183 and Banksy share well thought out undertones (which some may have viewed as political) kept their identities closely guarded and are painters of the night. What separates them is their unique styles. Like any graffiti artist no surface is unpaintable or "safe", median dividers, walls, even on bridges. Also undertaking fairly ambitious mixed media installations.<br />

Sometimes a piece of Art is closer then you think. It could very well be living inside of you favorite book. There is no doubt that I love all types of fairy tales and have a pretty extensive collection of them. Inside some of those books hold beautifully ornate illustrations. Why wouldn't you/I want to display them in any fashion. With that in mind I grabbed one (of my many) favorite books and made an Art print. <br />

Locked inside a frame to sit on my desk, to stare at when my mind needs a break from the task at hand.

With neglect comes an update. Bringing forth more Art as I update everyone on my journey.<br />
Not sure how the weather is around other parts of the world but in my backyard this November it's sunny and bright. The air isn't crisp, it really doesn't feel like fall at all. So with the sun on my back and a spray can in hand, I felt the need to update some furniture.<br />

Before After <br />
<br />
Looks like I have the Midas touch. This little update didn't cost a thing since the table was on hand and I had the Gold spray paint, it took 2 coats and is ready to be set in its new dwelling place.<br />
Don't be afraid of change or color. If you don't like the outcome it can easily be change to another color.<br />

What happens when an artist gets inspired ? A spark ignites and she begins to become flooded with ideas. Of course I have to set these ideas into motion but there has to be a starting point somewhere.
Walking into museums always sends a creative surge through my body. Not all artists are procrastinators. Although it does seem as if they leave work incomplete or maybe that's as finished as they see it. Either way it was nice to take a break come back and be rejuvenated.

Sitting through the episode and as it gave it's nod to the upcoming Oscar's, there it was "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bansky's</span>" signature. This has been his second appearance on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Simpsons</span> the mysteriously talented artist has made on the show.

At one point he even asked the Oscar's if he can accept his award is disguise. A crowd of people with masks of monkeys covering their faces and only one monkey reaching for the award. In turn the Oscar officials turned that idea down in fear of future copycats.

Love is Touch<br />
<br />
Music invokes so many emotions thoughts and feelings. For others it can take on color and shape. This piece that I have sculpted is influenced by John Lennon's "Love".<br />
Love is touch, touch is love,<br />
Love is reaching, reaching love,<br />
Love is asking to be loved.<br />
Love is you,<br />
You and me,<br />
John a song writer poet and artist used each art form as a vehicle for his messages. Even if it was in the simple act of love. The whimsical yet poetic act of Love. What stood out in my mind was the simplicity of touch and how easy you can set such an imprint on a person, lasting as long as a life time. Touch is the most powerful mean you have of expressing your love. It is straightforward and unmistakable. As the saying goes "some things are better left unsaid." through touch true words are spoken.

Each month I am hoping to spotlight Music and how it influences Art/Music. This time it was John Lennon and his song "Love" also partnering up with me is a Talented writer, poet, music lover Woosh. She has dedicated a Blog to bringing to light underground, undiscovered musical talent. If your yearning for soulful tunes and artists who make meaningful music that will please your ears, her Blog Sexy Never Left has what your looking for. She does artist interviews, song previews, videos and brings you the latest on Music. We have collaborated to show how Music influences Art and how Art influences Music. Have a Take at Woosh's Blog <a href="http://sexy-never-left.blogspot.com/2011/02/john-lennon-had-that-special-gift.html"> http://sexy-never-left.blogspot.com/2011/02/john-lennon-had-that-special-gift.html </a><br />

Local shoppers came through to buy and pick Ornaments from either their favorite artist or one that caught their eye. Hand made little treasures made from wood, glass, and paper, painted with paint and some dusted with glitter. It was a great way for the artist to display their work, talent and imagination. I decided to give people an Art lesson with my Roy Lichtenstein and Miro Ornaments. A bit of art history to hang on a tree.<br /><br />Have a safe and Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Here the artist Judy B. took brown paper and wrapped the Art Gallery. Challenging herself in seeing if she can take 4 gallery walls and completely wrap them in paper. Then applying <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gesso</span> which is a white paint mixture. Its used for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">art work</span> as a preparation for surfaces such as wood panels, canvases, as a base for paint and other materials that are applied over it. In this case it was applied to the paper, then painted over using oil paint. The process took the artist about 22 hours to come up with painting 22 abstract paintings. On a Thursday evening the doors were opened at the Gallery for viewing. Paint still dripping wet and the Artist with tiered eyes, it was a success. Pieces were available for purchase with a cut of a scissor and a pick of your choice.<br /></div>VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-79952258794414445542010-12-08T08:24:00.000-08:002010-12-08T09:18:26.048-08:00Remembering The Dreamer John Lennon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF01YufmfMD3LRKjtUpENLR-PVFMRIgDBEd_us-rRIrc3FoObP6cH-28ICAfXAV-NcedMOFVYrUhK31a7Ztvw5HeyzPCrn2362qqlS3N7ziTofjfIC5Q4D4fyqVVWkCXQ47m5T52aeW40/s1600/IMAG0346.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF01YufmfMD3LRKjtUpENLR-PVFMRIgDBEd_us-rRIrc3FoObP6cH-28ICAfXAV-NcedMOFVYrUhK31a7Ztvw5HeyzPCrn2362qqlS3N7ziTofjfIC5Q4D4fyqVVWkCXQ47m5T52aeW40/s320/IMAG0346.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548359582531977010" border="0" /></a> Remember John Lennon "You May Say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzy2PE1xVbA9yfjAI4WcajScmG3ILK2f65YsprfEAnYqHX4pd4zSrAb5hO8s1TOrwPC_kIHndQQsQPhKADyOxu4Yo8hY_cECDACzYC8Nu3gFHRFG-FfzHD35jZoNaSYlWSQnKWtz90pnI/s1600/IMAG0334.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzy2PE1xVbA9yfjAI4WcajScmG3ILK2f65YsprfEAnYqHX4pd4zSrAb5hO8s1TOrwPC_kIHndQQsQPhKADyOxu4Yo8hY_cECDACzYC8Nu3gFHRFG-FfzHD35jZoNaSYlWSQnKWtz90pnI/s320/IMAG0334.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548359578323942130" border="0" /></a> Let Me take you Down cause I'm going to...<br />Strawberry Fields Forever 72 Street NYC<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijlS99tx3GCrngkHzGi3xP6YWVQvoXpgXk26ne1_YGqFvkfMQ2oI-VADiF-uKLH1UOnPpz848Mag2Fe-P1PTUel5V517fYx_Wshfcur1zNEuFkGJSp-lVtjdFCZisdzz7J31cr9N828so/s1600/IMAG0337.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijlS99tx3GCrngkHzGi3xP6YWVQvoXpgXk26ne1_YGqFvkfMQ2oI-VADiF-uKLH1UOnPpz848Mag2Fe-P1PTUel5V517fYx_Wshfcur1zNEuFkGJSp-lVtjdFCZisdzz7J31cr9N828so/s320/IMAG0337.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548359573140914866" border="0" /></a>He Flew in just in time to be the model in my shot of Imagination..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwy4ncc1W8giyW5cD9cA1Fge37QbG8ft0TYIpAEzPciF-YUzkkxo_gzxv2HiF_TqKw_Yy9H4UKCVs1lodrhuEHR2ZB5424G6dhBpOQjMens9kcobB8DLwM8qNThYJhpdKcyLzw6-sIXPY/s1600/IMAG0340.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 294px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwy4ncc1W8giyW5cD9cA1Fge37QbG8ft0TYIpAEzPciF-YUzkkxo_gzxv2HiF_TqKw_Yy9H4UKCVs1lodrhuEHR2ZB5424G6dhBpOQjMens9kcobB8DLwM8qNThYJhpdKcyLzw6-sIXPY/s320/IMAG0340.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548359567580408098" border="0" /></a> Observing the Observers, strumming songs, snapping photos, Inspiring and imagining .<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikK4PBSnmHLtByxzNPUl6XHq-ElaCrZClAHt-Pi4iD4CefV6YKXr7Unumd5h6z-I2OjwPwdzd_yU9ZTd3H_TrvXfmfBygkHL2UWaZbFSt-lTf2mxUZBAG1k2IGQrpkRsLGaLPs0hA9Ytw/s1600/IMAG0346.jpg"><br /></a>Art in the form of Photography.

On a Thursday evening the Gallery was filled with an eclectic crowd. Having to Share the Art evening with another local Artist John B. who also had paintings on display. While his were more traditional works of Art and what the local community is used to seeing (landscapes, portraits). There we were Expressing ourselves. Working the crowd I felt that nervous feeling leave my body. Such positive feed back and an eagerness to know more. The highlight of the evening was when I got to meet a Graffiti artist whose works have hit Galleries, Streets and Train rails. There looks to be more to come from this experience and new ventures.

Fighting through the crowded lines, as people wait to get an autograph from their favorite superstar. There I was fighting to see live Art from various comic Artists. So many Artists on view each with a unique style. In a sense drawing you in so you can get a glance at their hand crafted pieces. As your the on looker they as well are looking for that person who will own a piece of their valued work.<br />It was great to stand behind a group of people all watching. An on looker would ask a question from ; What got you started? to How long have they been doing this line of work? All with very similar answers. It ranged from 8 to as long as 15 years but they all said I have been an Artist all my life and will you take that as my final answer. Some would argue that "Comic Art" is not a true Art form. Though anything that you can visualize in you mind and can put on paper is truly a masterpiece (in any form).<br />I managed to take a picture of what I shall call the Art Mile. Take a look what they have to offer they may amaze you like they did me.<br /><br />Tommy Castillo - http://www.tommycastillo.net/<br />Nigel Sade - http://www.nigelsade.com/<br />Arthur <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Suydam</span> - http://www.arthursuydam.com/VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-11260346381608872532010-11-05T07:03:00.000-07:002010-11-05T07:23:23.868-07:00Still DreamingIt seems as though I am still dreaming.

The "Expression" being the multiple forms an artist can create. <br />Through creativity I am able to express myself.<br /><br /><br />My Expression is Artwork....VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-44343188521828632592010-05-23T20:54:00.000-07:002010-05-23T21:27:19.919-07:00The Art Of Justin Bua<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih7WEl545GjmNjq2GqJ7teSSJsK_fWjT14n0yKc8MkUnVeeyyPlG1wdHWDeJeis16_OJfT88JH4XpbPos0BVxsq8ssChvcgj3k-O3G1ejUIMg3irkM_A3wKQdiL_v8Jcot1Qhv_CEd4Yw/s1600/harlem+rose.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih7WEl545GjmNjq2GqJ7teSSJsK_fWjT14n0yKc8MkUnVeeyyPlG1wdHWDeJeis16_OJfT88JH4XpbPos0BVxsq8ssChvcgj3k-O3G1ejUIMg3irkM_A3wKQdiL_v8Jcot1Qhv_CEd4Yw/s320/harlem+rose.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474681992979508882" border="0" /></a> Harlem rose<br /> As the wind blows through the cracks, of the hustle and bustle of the NYC sidewalk.<br /> Emerges through the crack,Harlem's rose.<br /> Vibrations of hip hop, salsa, RnB help break it from its seam.<br /> -Vi'VE<br /><br /> Justin Bua and his Harlem rose tributes the great voices of the Harlem's Renaissance.<br /> The legacy left behind but not forgotten as new female artists' come forth paving their way.<br /> So that their voices may never fade.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSp71wVYXxnF9zCr5HQ3lv7wNis0pHGMngnI95VmyWUcPHSuCo6fPIb2agzD9HwVADR9OPqpQpb1Fd9hxOMFCCkH5XAhaIImckToW3OQ-99B5IzFVhM96d3MxTbMPocPh1m7Zs2rRcjA/s1600/justin-bua-urban-art-hip-hop3.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkSp71wVYXxnF9zCr5HQ3lv7wNis0pHGMngnI95VmyWUcPHSuCo6fPIb2agzD9HwVADR9OPqpQpb1Fd9hxOMFCCkH5XAhaIImckToW3OQ-99B5IzFVhM96d3MxTbMPocPh1m7Zs2rRcjA/s320/justin-bua-urban-art-hip-hop3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474681547340307410" border="0" /></a> 1981<br /><br /> When boom boxes and break dancing took the streets and shaped culture.<br /> Those days became the non-violent outlet where rival gangs challenged each other.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyo4f95sEsD1ORl31hfnITNRFfgjkqamh0iCpIbV-f82z2PTWlcjQySImeiYaS8dmG1v4P_miQhOcPcJ5CAyYrOeXhyPyz7RMezDrdQHxSQqECBkHy_605rfNg7MPcnELjE3ARYcE4iw/s1600/back-in-the-days-justin-bua-urban-art-hip-hop.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 156px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhyo4f95sEsD1ORl31hfnITNRFfgjkqamh0iCpIbV-f82z2PTWlcjQySImeiYaS8dmG1v4P_miQhOcPcJ5CAyYrOeXhyPyz7RMezDrdQHxSQqECBkHy_605rfNg7MPcnELjE3ARYcE4iw/s320/back-in-the-days-justin-bua-urban-art-hip-hop.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474681537774712914" border="0" /></a> http://www.justinbua.com/<br /><br />Justin Bua with his Urban Sabor (flavor) and graffiti esq style.

Over 50+ vendors from Fl, LA,, TX, and NYC. They gathered to sell original work and reprints, for those on a budget and wanting to support the love of all things art related. Metal works made into robot chickens, metal tanks with funky little people atop. Think I saw the garden Nome being taken away. Glass blowers who made water fountains, glass human sculptures to vases, beautiful pieces that seemed to shine as the suns rays hit them. All types, shapes, sizes of mixed media, wood working and paintings. So many on hand to take you and make you pause to stare. Makes you feel inspired, imaginative. Where ever that place may be in your mind when you look at art or how your interpret it. </div><div><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAj7uLdMId-oBAxeyKTlglRI0P3ovkHPmJXeLKyYR1XTl-4AlEiUoaBNpjD4edjRPjkTvo9BYYeibOVW24j9ryrOGey_14Vcg5NA0FHArXpf0DvUCNC0y_WJ4x8oxIX6EGglIRdJZSVKc/s1600/art+card.jpg"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 288px; display: block; height: 216px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463878861584636786" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAj7uLdMId-oBAxeyKTlglRI0P3ovkHPmJXeLKyYR1XTl-4AlEiUoaBNpjD4edjRPjkTvo9BYYeibOVW24j9ryrOGey_14Vcg5NA0FHArXpf0DvUCNC0y_WJ4x8oxIX6EGglIRdJZSVKc/s320/art+card.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />These are two of the cards I got to grab from the Artists' themselves. Gabe Leonard an artist from LA,CA had oil paintings of outlaws, musicians and mobsters. His paintings of Jimmy Hendrix was so captivating. The choice of color to the movement was so perfect.

Normally trains would be just another thing flying by over looked. If you stop and take notice every once and a while, you'll see they are big murals. If only I had the opportunity to abuse such a canvas, without the chances of being arrested. Couldn't help myself to stop and snap a few low quality shots to share and take notice that art is all around and instead of stopping to smell the flowers, stop and gaze at train cargo.<br /><br />"Some people become Police to make the world a better place, some people become vandals to make the world a better looking place." <br />— <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/28811.Banksy" class="authorNameRegular" title="view all quotes by Banksy"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Banksy</span></a>VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-11347137951457129732010-03-19T22:36:00.000-07:002010-03-19T23:06:47.551-07:00Gallery Day : Shades Of Green Exibit<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaB19o8Yr01td9U02XzhBV2cepfojDobWXqa6pfX9xX-QocFFBxr14-NxKlNFzOhSAQijK3xBh8egHXI5SHpWnfFg36cH3WIn4rHOPRJ32HFxlAz1zEC84V5l7Syz484fp8z3yZGHrNTo/s1600-h/comic+can.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaB19o8Yr01td9U02XzhBV2cepfojDobWXqa6pfX9xX-QocFFBxr14-NxKlNFzOhSAQijK3xBh8egHXI5SHpWnfFg36cH3WIn4rHOPRJ32HFxlAz1zEC84V5l7Syz484fp8z3yZGHrNTo/s320/comic+can.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450592567793123762" border="0" /></a><br />Main Street Gallery: Recycled works into art<br />Holding my breath not sure to release what was left. Black walls, white lights,the setting was like a stage. Only it wasn't me standing there in the luminous light. Only held up by a single nail was dances of colors created into art. Standing there was my art staring at me, standing there amazed it was looking back at me. From oil painted trees in all shades of green, to robots in a draw nails in its' heart. A big metal bird with a peek-a-boo door, to mazes on a wall made of egg carton.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision — it is the seeing of the thing that makes it so…The painter…must show people more than they already see…Here is where art comes in.<br />-Charles W.

Jan., Feb. (missed Valentines Day), here we are in March. As the branches bud with leaves so have I. With news that March 19, 2010 my art will be featured in the Shades of Green exhibit. My art as well as other local artists, will put on display recycled material in all different forms of art. Never thought this winding road would leave me to actually submit something for people to dissect with their eyes.<br />Thank you for everyone's encouraging words and support. Within me is bits of everyone and with all of you in mind is how I am inspired to create.VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-90312181716449834022009-12-10T16:54:00.000-08:002009-12-10T17:41:26.857-08:00Stained Glass Mary<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5q750xNexcxw8yt_rPiAmpo40BwcqeuaZ9sJF1jkwymIJnr6vyjpno7gFaPyccJXjzboV5nJmhokmEzlBJmv7ya3lABhxb1We7FMVyklEDDlyZpMacjdMD36q0NgvOCqsP3J2Em0eoM/s1600-h/Glass+Mary.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 195px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 192px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413787448830631698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv5q750xNexcxw8yt_rPiAmpo40BwcqeuaZ9sJF1jkwymIJnr6vyjpno7gFaPyccJXjzboV5nJmhokmEzlBJmv7ya3lABhxb1We7FMVyklEDDlyZpMacjdMD36q0NgvOCqsP3J2Em0eoM/s320/Glass+Mary.jpg" /></a><br /><div>It's close to Christmas time.

In my eyes and mind everything is a paintable surface. I do give back to Mother Earth by doing my part, creating art. What's unique is that the can creates a unique surface to paint on. </div>VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-76978455303453020002009-10-05T07:34:00.000-07:002009-10-05T07:35:53.887-07:00Spray Art<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpMCEOW65zqkWVze8np9zXoZkD_VtyMkRex9_UMphFwDotzSW_KL5d3DvIfE2-33lcT6nCPX8hyphenhypheny__a-3GVnWeLv1EyPk7t4ybW9eOLj8yQkntqQSCaHAynIGNnL4HslzQ_A0Ja7O48nI/s1600-h/optical_eye_by_Reallyfamous.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 248px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389124453637788306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpMCEOW65zqkWVze8np9zXoZkD_VtyMkRex9_UMphFwDotzSW_KL5d3DvIfE2-33lcT6nCPX8hyphenhypheny__a-3GVnWeLv1EyPk7t4ybW9eOLj8yQkntqQSCaHAynIGNnL4HslzQ_A0Ja7O48nI/s320/optical_eye_by_Reallyfamous.jpg" /></a><br /><div> </div><div>You have probably noticed these fast sharp shooters with spray cans. The Spray Can as their tool, making surreal landscapes of planets, comets, pyramids, cities, and nature scenes. These Spray Arts can be made in masses because they can be quickly produced (thanks to their drying time). Me passing them by in NYC, Times Square is how I remember them. Standing on the cold concrete amazed at how quickly hands have to move to acquire a finished piece. They are found far and wide from the streets of LA, NYC, UK, Hawaii, it’s global. It is said to have been started in the 80’s in Mexico but I’m sure it dates farther than that. There are differences between me and them they do them on the street and I make them in my garage. It becomes so enjoyable to make Spray Art for the speed in takes to complete one. It’s hard to achieve an identical piece making each one unique.<br /> </div>VivEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13999114363382797816noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2672533157800526857.post-68436805018217703662009-04-01T08:19:00.000-07:002010-01-26T14:34:55.841-08:00Ode To An Artist<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjISuUpxXQUTVuoCQ5bxgRfIwKcD-r8L2hBvXF43lc-BT6SL8ZWTDoy28PWNyBB2xkiTirbc2Lyhr8V9mnG7i3n0pKuIIMiY0AgS8AkSju9iRxq9Q5FeGXdBrDqe6U5bg30cSJqLuMIiYE/s1600-h/fixed.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431180558390194130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjISuUpxXQUTVuoCQ5bxgRfIwKcD-r8L2hBvXF43lc-BT6SL8ZWTDoy28PWNyBB2xkiTirbc2Lyhr8V9mnG7i3n0pKuIIMiY0AgS8AkSju9iRxq9Q5FeGXdBrDqe6U5bg30cSJqLuMIiYE/s320/fixed.png" /></a> <div><div><div><div><div>Keith Haring - Who knows how many times as a little girl my parents drove into busy Manhattan on the FDR."There it is!" I would yell in my head. "It" was the marker that we were getting closer to My aunts house. Soon I would be walking up five flights of exhausting stairs. "It" was none other then Keith Haring's "Crack Is Wack" mural. Keith did many of these public drawings throughout NYC subway systems outlined in chalk over old advertisements, in the 1980's.In <a href="http://imagecache.allposters.com/images/pic/FOT/FFPOFP125~DJ-Posters.jpg"></a>grabbing what the environment provided, of course. Keith would paint on metal, plastic and garden sanctuary's. This leads me to believe anything is a paint-able surface! The lines in this painting may be simple but simple isn't the dedication behind it. This painting is in tribute to his "DJ Dog" and my experiment to a late great artist that left behind imprints on the mind...
