Graffiti Train

One of the advantages of living by a train yard. 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.

Gallery Day : Shades Of Green Exibit

Main Street Gallery: Recycled works into art
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.



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.
-Charles W. Hawthorne

Took a trip then a turn and full circle I have returned. 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.
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.

Stained Glass Mary

It's close to Christmas time. There is frost in the air, people are hustling and bustling. Zooming by with wrapping paper in hand and searching for that perfect gift.

Looking down the Christmas isle, tilted head staring at ornaments, one stands out clear. It made me think of stained glass windows that you'd see in churches.

Bracelets

Weather painted, glued or pulled together by string these bracelets can be an accessory. Paired together with other fashion items or showcased on their own, they have their own unique identity. Either way I like to make pieces that are fun, whimsical, traditional, and that can be repurposed. Its nice to be able to showcase a piece of jewelry not only through sense of style but also by mood. If you like what you see here or are intrested in one for your self email me at reallyfam0us@yahoo.com.

Can Art

Ever drank a can of soda and wondered what to do with it? 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.

Spray Art

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.
