The Final Stretch of Sibling Rivalry!

5/20/2015

Hi everyone I have a new art creation! This is the final instillation of my art piece for a gallery submission. This piece is based upon my two nieces and nephew. Buddha, Lala Betty Boop, and Baby Dumplings are the nicknames of them. overall I was really hard on myself in the end with this piece. It was near impossible to get the hands perfect even with my reference photo! The hands were extremely long or severely foreshortened, I did the best I could do with a limited schedule!

Flash Back Friday

For my post today I figured I would add a prequel FBF (Flash Back Friday ) photo of my past endeavors. Before I became the mixed media artist I am today I was just a regular art student learning just as other students. The photo above was a class project in which we had to apply our two  favorite artist styles into a work of our own. My favorite artist were Georgia O'keeffe and Raimond Staprans. Being the artist I am today I feel if you can paint exceptionally well its not necessary for each composition.  While attending the Academy of Art University their are students that are equally if not more talented than you. In an environment as such creativity and craftsmanship becomes a major deciding factor in your work. With each of my works I create based upon what is best for my subject and the message I’m conveying

Yesterday was a day of reflection for me . The picture above shows the creative works I made thus far  from March to May.  Although  it doesn’t appear to be a huge collection it is miraculous for someone who works two jobs.  After college I stopped creating artworks. Unfortunately I had a drastic lifestyle change that caused me to stop creating. After a three year hiatus I wanted to begin to create new works of art. While I was in college I began to create the start of my pop cultural icon series. Each work of art is created based upon a icon. Some works of art are sculptural interpretations others are assemblage pieces or mixed media collage works. Although I still have alot of work to complete in this series, I love the progression of it so far.

TBT plus a new work of art!

A week ago I found myself tying to re create a painting I once had. Of course with art its nearly impossible to recreate the same composition with the same brush strokes and texture as a print would. Using the same inspiration I possessed for the original work of art I created a new work of art. The first image with words titled "Cement Injection" was a created while I was attending the Academy of Art University.  "What they don't what you to know" depicts what happens behind closed door in the time period of the forties .

Artist get Side tracked! Get over it! 

5/3/2015

As of lately I've gotten slightly sidetracked with my current art project for my gallery submission. While scrolling through some of my past artworks I came across a painting I threw away.  although I really loved this work of art it gotten destroyed by Galkyd varnish I added over it. It turned yellow and I figured I just let the past go, as a result I threw it away. Out with the old and in with a new piece in homage to it. As a young artist I tend to shy away from controversy due to social media scrutiny. With this work of art I'm only concerned with creating what I feel and how I want to create. "What they don't want you to know" shown below depicts a vintage couple depicted behind doors, what is not seen in conservative societies. What happens after the kiss, behind closed doors, without the curtain closing is what I wanted to show. Although I still have more work to contribute to this composition I wanted it to be seen.

Work in Progress Evolution! 

5/2/2015

If you're new to my blog welcome in, I'll fill you in on current project. For the past four days I began working on a new painting for a gallery submission. The show I'm submitting for has a theme based upon caricatures. For this show I didn't have a pre conceived concept not even a twinkle of an idea. Most of my concepts materialize either before bed or while I'm sleeping . Luckily this method didn't fail me for this show. In my family everyone has nicknames especially the children. My brothers children even have adorable characterized style nicknames. Buddha, Betty Boop , and Baby Dumplings became the central icons in my cartoon composition. I strive to show the loving relationship of brother and sisterly love or damnation. Remember to check back daily for work in progress photos.

Progress day 2! On the second day of creating I’m still building the background for my composition. I will continue to post daily progression post in order for my viewers to see the thought progress of an artist. Artist just as other creative people encounter trials, errors , and tribulations. Most of the issues I encounter involve indecisive decisions such as composition positions, my original composition ideal evolving while I’m working , and on occasion not finding the correct 3D items I’m searching for to put in my artwork. Continue to check back daily for more photos!
