A couple of announcements today guys; the My Neighbor Totoro Design Contest is until open for submissions until 11:59PM PST on March 28, 2018 & voting is open until 11:59PM PST on April 04, 2018. With that being said, I encourage anyone that wants to submit artwork to do so & since you’ll already be on the For Fans By Fans website, might as well vote for my artwork if you haven’t already. You don’t have to be the best at art, just as long as you’re a fan & have fun with it. There are also other contests on the website if you're interested. I’ll put the links to everything down below. The website will ask you to create an account, which is fairly simple. All you have to do is type in your email address, first name, last name & create a password or you can just sign up with your Facebook account.

Stars on a Hook, 15x19, 2018

On another note, My girlfriend & I will be going to San Francisco next week to go to museums such as SFMOMA, the Academy of Sciences, Ripley’s Believe it or not!, possibly the de Young, the Asian Art Museum & The Exploratorium. Don’t worry, I will still be posting next week, well we are over there. I can’t wait to see some of the greats such as Jasper Johns, Frida Kahlo, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Georgia O’ Keeffe, Andy Warhol, Diego Rivera, Robert Rauschenberg & Jackson Pollock just to name a few. I’ve only been to SFMOMA once in college with my Art Tours class. We were only there for about one to two hours, which isn’t enough time to see & appreciate the whole museum. I’m so stoked to be going again & actually spending most of the day at SFMOMA.

Thanks again you guys, hope you’re having a wonderful Friday & have a great weekend!

Natural Forces, Flora & Becoming One With The Earth!

Hello Everyone, h ope you are having a great day! Mapped Out #2 , 36" × 48", acrylic soft-pastel on stretched canvas, 2017 I love nature especially where I live because we are surrounded by fields of fruit. We get to see them blossom in the spring & the leaves change colors throughout the fall. I’ve been doing a lot of gardening lately; planting/transplanting roses, planting succulents, pruning & keeping up the yard. The list goes on... I am currently working on  creating a cactus themed raised bed. The borders are made out of rounded bricks. I also have been looking at a lot of different types of art on Instagram, Youtube & Pinterest. I came across an  Heather Day , an artist that takes nature & transfers is on to a canvas. Her artwork is very expressionistic as she combines colors with textures to create some wonderful works of art. Some techniques that she uses remind me of the way Jackson Pollock used to paint. They both use their enti

Deep Meanings, Butterflies & Dark Humor

I think about thinking, 2000 Today, I’m going to be sharing a couple of my favorite photos from a photographer, Duane Michals . Duane is known for writing notes (annotating) on his photography & having a dark sense of humor. I will be briefly touching on each photo to keep the descriptions short and sweet. Michals received a BA from the University of Denver in 1953 & worked as a graphic designer until his involvement with photography deepened in the late 1950s. He currently lives & works in New York City. “I think about thinking”   shows Duane in a chair, reading an open book that has the sentence “I think about thinking.” This self-portrait is about vanity & how he wants people to perceive him. He wants people to see what he is about & not judge him on how he looks.   Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty, 1998, (6) 5x7in. "Dr. Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty"  suggests that u ncertainty allows the c

From Nature To Machine; 2 Year old Snowman!

Hello Everyone, If you are new to by blogs, welcome. If you are not new to my blogs, welcome back! Hope everyone had a wonderful & safe spring break. This past week was an eventful week for me. Going on the trip to San Francisco, it being weekend Easter weekend & trying to get getting back into the groove of things back home. On our trip, we tried some new restaurants, went to the California Academy of Sciences, SFMOMA , Ripleys!, Madame Tussauds & the San Francisco Dungeon. We walked around UC Berkeley, Haight Street in SF & around Pier 39, which was pretty fun. It was fun, finding inspiration in the big city that surrounds its visitors with art & beautiful weather. Peter Fischli and David Weiss, Snowman , 1987/2016 Here in Central California, we have been experiencing warmer weather than usual, which we aren’t used to because we were having nice San Francisco/Los Angeles weather. The other day, as I was leaving the store; walking to my ca
