Amen To That

Greg Craola Simkins
"I’m scared of losing the excitement of discovery I had as a child; new adventures in every book I read, rabbit holes to fall down, wardrobes to explore, beds to get lost under. Diving into a new painting is like recreating the feelings of being young again. The insecurities are still there, yet the freedom is overwhelming. Where else can you run into fantastic creatures and surreal landscapes than in your own imagination? Art has always been my place to go since I was a kid. Form picking up my first crayon, pencil, pen, spray-can, computer tablet, and finally paintbrush, the possibilities seem endless. Continuing the journey is all I can do right now and see where it takes me."

Accept The New

I've been gone for so long, too much stress. School and what not. Over it now thankfully. It's kind of backwards actually that I stress and not post.. where as I should be stressing and posting.. hm.

I just found this artist by the name of Martin Askem. On surrealism.co.uk they say that his works are "the most  unique and powerful work seen since Salvador Dali's work". I'm not sure if I agree with this statement, Dali was a genius. But hey, I'm no expert.

Feeling Like..

Lately I've been feeling a little awesome. Things are getting figured out daily and I can't wait to go back to school and be done with vacation lol. So in honor of my happy mood, I'll post creations made by the artist known as Robert Williams.

Yum.

Speechless.

Jaroslaw Kukowski

Beautiful.

Just a tad

I'm feeling a little irritated and angry right now so I did what I do to usually occupy my thoughts and looked at some pictures. Came across some pictures that I forgot I saved and I figured I'd share them. They're painted by an artist named Jose Roosevelt:

There is so much going on in every picture, I'm sure you can understand why I looked at them to get my mind off of things. It's so nice to see that an artist is multi talented and can draw as well as he paints.

I realize that I kind of start every blog post pretty much the same, is that bad? Boring? Do people even read my blog? It'd be nice to have some more followers and comments, ha. Now I think I'm just going on a rant to keep me occupied.. but isn't that what this is for? Do I have to talk about art only? I think I do, ha.
I wish I could just jump into every picture, wish I could live somewhere else for a little while.
College isn't what it's really cracked up to be, it's not really fun at all.. or atleast it isn't for me. Being surrounded by people who don't interest me AT ALL and getting pointless essays thrown at me daily, it's all a big nuisance really. Okay, think I'm done complaining now, haha, sorry.

Double Trouble

So today I'm posting about two artists. Both paint women in different ways and since I've already said I love when women are put into art, why not post them?

The first artist is Brian Viveros:

The sexy, hot mess look really appeals to me so I think it's safe to say that he's one of my favorite artists. I love the way he paints their lips, shoulders and necks (which are all actually my favorite body parts). The blending of warm colors in the background makes you have a comforting feeling yet you're looking at this strong, edgy image; its a nice feeling in your brain. I like that most of them are injured in some way, it kind of (to me) represents how women get hurt, get knocked down, yet they'll still sit there, look beautiful and smoke they're cigarette.

Next artist is Patrick "STAR27" Deignan:

These pictures are kind of like an ugly sexy. The artist says he painted them based on something he has once seen, I wonder what he saw that was the equivalent to these paintings. This definitely shows the more crazy side of women but still beautiful none-the-less.
