Art Show

It's been a while but my art is still up in the Philosophy house and it will remain until the end of the semester...

I have been very busy lately mostly now just writing down ideas to paint. Hopefully I will put one of my ideas on canvas. I am going to go overboard on pictures on my next piece so hopefully you enjoy the painting process.

Art Exibit: The Examined Life

Someone at school asked me to submit some of my artwork into a show. This show is called the Examined Life, it is being run by the Philosophy Department at Molloy College. This art exhibit opens on April 8th 2011 and runs through May 27th. The reception will be held on April 14th. Here are some of the following pieces I may submit. (There is a new piece I painted yesterday for this event called Night Forest. I used Acrylic & Marker in this piece.) Hope you check it out.

New Piece

Got inspired the other day... saw this video and just had been doodling a very geometric design over this girl...decided to paint it...
here is the song SKEPTA - SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT (Official Video)

I drew her with pencil first onto the canvas. Then I touched it up with sharpie. Painted between the lines with acrylic paint. Finally I finished it up with a new layer of sharpie.

girl before the final touches

Here she is finished. had to add some more sharpie...not the best quality.

Mr. Brainwash

What is the movie Exit through the gift shop about?? It is a film made by Banksy but filmed by Mr. Brainwash. Mr. Brianwash is a Canadian filmmaker *cough* who is a cousin of Space Invader (another street artist).
This film shows some of the inner workings behind Obey, Banksy, Mr. Brainwash, and Space Invader. It is a representation glorifying street art in all forms. Some may call graffiti a crime but after watching this film I was even more inspired to create wheat pastes. For a view of the trailer

On the other hand, another film about graffiti but from another angle. This film is about Vigilantes who paint over graffiti. Is this cover-up just as bad as graffiti or a reclamation of the streets. Its a personal opinion. But this film seems to look into the views of these graffiti Vigilantes and their view of graffiti. This film was expected to be released late 2010. I am going to try and watch this film this weekend

Just because here is a random wheat paste I made that night.

My first post

What will I be doing? What am I saying? I am going to be uploading pieces of art I have done or images/sounds/articles or anything that inspires me.

I general paint/draw/wheat paste street inspired works or general pop art. As always keep inspired.
