One of my Favorite Artist....

PABLO PICASO-
He's always been one of my favorites as cliche as that sounds.
Here's pne of my favorite pieces.
I love the coloring and they way the characters in this scene look so comfortable.
He really paved the way when it comes to me...i look up to his style allot and I strive to be like him in his scene of style.
The sketch is called "Portrait of Francosie" he used pure charcoal and it was done on flat paper. It's usually easier to sketch on regular paper than paper that has pours, only because its easier to smear and push lines, its also easier to create the details and make new shadows.

some pics

This is one of my favorite pictures... it is a bunch of writers in a group, it shows the community factor of this form of art. I know I've writing about graffiti allot but I finally got the pictures i wanted to show you so enjoy. Okay these are some characters, they are very much like political cartoons. In fact, many "writers" have a steady focus on just characters. By the way, graffiti artist are also known as writers because thats just what they do, they write their name and when people see they know everything about that name and the person that comes along with the person that comes along with that name. The name you chose also tells allot about the person, it's normally got to do with that persons feelings or personality or a certain characteristic that person possesses. In the previous image you saw a bug getting squished by a man or a boy, you can infer that the writer feels that he's being squished by what ever he or she is dealing with.This piece is really abstract and i happen to really love it. The picture itself is not one of my favorites but this one piece is outstanding.

The Pen the Sword & the Paintbrush

Well we know that the pen is mightier than the sword but where does that leave the paintbrush? Where does that leave the spray cans and clays? Pleanty of times I sit and write about how I'm feeling but that isn't always enough, sometimes I need a bigger canvus than just an 8 by 11 sheet of paper. I always have a big canvus ready for whenever I have the time to paint it. When I paint I feel like I can create new words by using shapes and colours. The paint just flows from me onto what ever I'm painting on. All the surpressed emotions that were in the far regions of my brain just glide from my hand to the clean slate and just like that I'm liberated. Many street artist take this feeling to the next step. They go above and beyound anything I can do. They set goals and standards for themselves that are normally unthinkable to most anyone else...they do this for many reasons. To be heard or seen or understood, what ever the reason you can tell right away just by looking at someones piece how they felt and that emotion is now understood. Hopefully I will be able to post some of my pictures in the nearby feauture so you can see what I mean. I will go into further details in the captions of the photos.

Why Art?

Art is anything and everything around us. It is what we see and what we feel. Art can convey emotions and create emotions most people didn't know they had. I know that when ever I go to an art museum or gallery no matter what style of art it is I find myself emerged in a whole other world. When you look at a piece you can tell so much about the artist; you can infer what he or she was feeling during the course time it took to finish that work of art. There are artist in all shapes and forms. There are so many styles and regions of art. Graffiti, Portraits, Abstract, Oils, Statue, the list is endless. Emotions are expressed in art all the time and all around us. Painting is a way i express anything I feel. Painting is a way of speaking that anyone can relate to. It is a universal language.
