HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL, THE KING OF POP

I WISH MICHEL WAS STILL HERE WITH THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE HIM. TODAY IS MICHAELS B-DAY AND ALTHOUGH I AM VERY SAD THAT HE IS GONE SEEING WISH WORK PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE. I'M TRULY GRATEFUL THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TOO SEE MICHEL IN CONCERT, I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM.

RAW TALENT

THIS YOUNG LADY HAS AN AMAZING TALENT. SET TO MUSIC THIS PIECE IS VERY MOVING. CHECK IT OUT

CREATE

I HAVE NOT STARTED MY NEW PROJECT YET. I FEEL A LITTLE BIT ALL OVER THE MAP BECAUSE I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS. I HAVE TO SLOW DOWN AND FOCUS ON ONE CONCEPT AT A TIME. I AM NOT THE TYPE OF ARTIST THAT FOCUSES ON ONE MEDIUM OR STYLE. I LIKE TO EXPRESS MYSELF IN VARIOUS WAYS. HOWEVER, I HAVE TO DO IT FLUIDLY. I BELIEVE THAT IT WILL PRODUCE A MORE AUTHENTIC OUTCOME.UNTIL NEXT TIME

WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO

WHEN I AM WORKING ON ANY PIECE IT IS SIMPLY AN EXPRESSION OF WHAT I FEEL @ THE MOMENT OR WHAT I SEE IN MY MIND OR FEEL IN MY HEART.FOR ME TO B ABLE TO EXPRESS ALL OF THOSE EMOTIONS IN THIS WAY BRINGS ME JOY. THIS PIECE HERE REFLECTS HOW I DEFINE BEAUTY. BEAUTY IS A COMPILATION OF ABSTRACT IDEAS, BELIEFS AND ORGANIC MATERIALS THAT BIND US AND FORCE US TO LOOK BEYOND THE EXTERIOR. IT MANIFEST AS A TANGIBLE IMAGE THAT CAN BE APRRECIATED BY ANYONE WHO IS OPEN TO THE PROCESS.

ESCAPE ARTIST

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE TWO PIECES. I LOVE OLD THINGS THAT R REINVENTED WITH A FRESH PERSPECTIVE. I ALSO LOVE OLD VINTAGE KEYS. THE OTHER LARGE PIECE IS MADE OF PAPER AND YES I LOVE PAPER. I ENJOY THE MANY FORMS THAT PAPER CAN TRANSFORM INTO.

ESCAPE ARTIST

HERE IS ANOTHER PIECE OF WORK THAT I FOUND INTERESTING @ THE ARTWALK IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES

FOOTPRINTS ALONG THE JOURNEY

THIS WAS REALLY FUN WORKING ON THIS PIECE HERE. I COMBINED MANY DIFFERENT MEDIUMS TO CREATE THIS LOOK AND I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH IT. I HAVE SOME OTHER IDEAS NOW FROM THE ARTWALK THAT I CAN INCORPORATE INTO THIS STYLE TO TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. I CAN'T WAIT.

rhythm of life

THE CREATIVE PROCESS 4 WORK LIKE THIS IS VERY FORGIVING. IT ALLOWS ME TO FLOW FLUIDLY FROM THOUGHT TO BRUSH AND TO LIFE. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE CREATING ORGANIC WORK BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT I'M GOING GET IN THE END. IT IS ALWAYS A PLEASANT SURPRISE. HOWEVER THERE IS A FRAME OF REFERENCE IT IS JUST NOT TANGIBLE. THE CONCEPT IS THERE IN AN ORGANIC WAY, MEANING IT'S A FUZZY IDEA. MOST TIMES I AM PLEASED WITH THE RESULTS AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SHIFT THE DIRECTION OF THE PIECE. ANY HOO, I LOVE WHAT I DO.....

ESCAPE ARTIST

I NEEDED TO ESCAPE LAST NIGHT SO I TOOK A STROLL DOWN TO THE ART WALK IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES. IT WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED, CAME BACK WITH RENEWED ENERGY AND A LIFTED SPIRIT.

JACKSON POLLOCK

CAME UP WITH SOME NEW CONCEPTS LAST NIGHT CAN'T WAIT TO START BUYING THE RAW MATERIALS. JACKSON POLLOCK IS A STRONG INFLUENCE IN THESE NEW WORKS. CAN'T WAIT TO START.

INSPIRE

ART IS A GLOBAL COLLECTIVE

JACKSON POLLOCK

OVATION TV HOST SOME OF THE BEST PROGRAMS FEATURING ARTIST OF ALL GENRES. RIGHT NOW I'M WATCHING JACKSON POLLOCK. HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. I REALLY WANTED BRANDON TO WIN I BELIEVE HE IS THE MORE TALENTED OF THE TWO HOWEVER JEANENE WAS ALSO WONDERFUL. I GET SO INSPIRED WATCHING THESE TALENTED PEOPLE REACH FOR THEIR DREAMS. AS AN ARTIST SOMETIMES IT GET'S TOUGH TO STAY MOTIVATED BUT WHEN YOU SEE ALL OF THE DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT IT RENEWS UR FAITH. CAN'T WAIT FOR FALL. ON MY WAY DOWNTOWN, LOOKING FOR NEW MATERIALS TO WORK WITH.

WHERE MY HEAD IS @

I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF CREATING A NEW BODY OF WORKS. RIGHT NOW MY SPIRIT IS MOVING ME IN THE DIRECTION OF RAW, EARTHY,ORGANIC MATERIALS. MY VISION CALLS FOR THE ELUSIVE HARMONY OF ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS TO INTERACT IN SUCH A WAY THAT COMPELS UR SPIRIT TO WANT MORE. YEAH THAT'S WHERE MY HEAD IS @ RIGHT NOW....
