Goth Lisa Frank

ARTIST: DEARRAINDROP

This to me is an example of Lisa Frank gone goth.

hahaha.... I use to LOVE Lisa Frank stuff.

Annoyed

Today everything seems to go wrong for me. When things seem to be going great for awhile I should expect something to come up to get in the way and mess it all up. God is in control I know that, but there never seems to be a reasonable length of time where things can go smoothly without this catastrophe of events to mess it up. 

I am so annoyed with people today.

I am on the verge of crying.

Then I remember that I will be going to Puerto Rico in a few weeks and then I can hopefully relax. I am in a need of a vacation. I haven't been on one since my senior year in high school.

I am enjoying the fact that God could pick me up at any second and take me there at any time if he wanted to.

Danielle Kump

I happened to stumble across a website of woodshed films and they have some links to their "friends" which are artists and film makers. Well I have been looking all of them up and this are the works from one of the artists. 

Her name is Danielle Kump. Her stuff is awesome.

Props the the great Dave Homcy

I think I have discovered a new goal/passion for my self. I am slowly figuring out (actually maybe quickly) what I want to do when I graduate. I'm not sure if I can call it a passion yet seeing how I haven't done it yet, but I have a burning desire to get involved. WATER PHOTOGRAPHY......sports, ocean wildlife, etc.

It's what I'm meant to do. I know it.

PORTRAITS

So lately I have been doing portraits for my project in photography. I am really becoming attached to the idea and love doing them. I think it has become my favorite thing to take pictures of. People are so fun and they keep me company. 

This photo right here I think is my favorite one that I have taken so far. Props to Ryan Christmas for helping a friend out.

Sally Mann

Sally Mann

From her series "Immediate Family"

This is my current absolute favorite picture. Don't worry it's just a candy cigarette. I love how her mannerisms are so adult like. She has an angelic presence about her to me.

Graffiti Wall

I have been thinking for awhile now about doing a graffiti wall in a room which I will be living in my room. I definitely can't do it now because of the living situation right now. Temporary. I get a bunch of artistic ideas and don't really know and can't really organize them very well, so I started this blog to start my organization process. Writing them down, getting and looking at pictures, and posting my favorite art at the moment. 

I have been thinking about doing this for a long time now and getting some experience in the art of graffiti. 

I think the graffiti art world is very intriguing and that it is misinterpreted among those who think that it is done by hooligans. I think that there IS an art to it and that there is some awful graffiti out there just like any other art. What has inspired me to finally start thinking about going and taking action with this idea is an art history course on African American art that I am taking this semester. It is very interesting and quite inspiring. I am really unexpectedly enjoying it. The art so far that we have looked at has been very colorful and bold. Not just with the colors but with the subject matter.

Two artists that we have looked at so far are Fahamu Pecou and Kehinde Wiley.

We just discussed Kehinde Wiley today. Check out his website:    kehindewiley.com

Fahamu Pecou I LOVE HIS WORK!! please please please check out his paintings they are amazing. Please read his bio also and any interviews that people have done on him. Chances are you won't read them. But I will say that you may misinterpret it without some background knowledge. He works with paintings, appearances at his shows, and videos.

Here is his website: Fahamupecouart.com
