lights in winter

I love Christmas lights, especially blue ones. they really bring peace of mind. the season is very much over, but I finally got this developed. they have that "light-drawing" effect, some turned out hella cool. enjoy!

sorry about the slow posting, I'm trying to recruit my friends who are artists/artists folk in the area to give me their stuff, I hope to have something interesting soon!

shout out

I recently visited Indiana University, and when I went to the museum, all I could say was "Wow". first of all, I had no idea colleges even had museums. the museum was so impressive, having originals by Pollock, Duchamp, Monet, and Picasso. the building itself was designed by I. M. Pei. needless to say, the school has a fantastic art program! here's what I managed to snap with my little lomo fisheye, haha.

art, inspired by fashion

this is my version of one of the photos from Jourdan Dunn's editorial from, i-D September 2008, which she was on the cover of. the title of the editorial is "the witching hour". the shot from the magazine:

the painting

oil on 11x14 canvas panel.

I'm still working on another painting based on a shot from aline weber's editorial, but it is much more abstract as to say the influence is looser, the painting is not a copy of the photo. that entire issue was filled with amazing pictures, if I could I would sit for days painting them all.

First

I like fashion blogs. I like art blogs and photography blogs, too. I have quite a few bookmarked, and from what I can tell there aren't any based in Atlanta, GA. Granted, there is not a strong art or fashion community, but this is where I am and that's what I like. So this will be about finding art and hopefully expand the art culture. And how to make do.
