26 Music Treasure

People take their music very seriously.

It is as if it were a part of them.
Music becomes their identity.

25 Restless Sleep

These are restless nights.

Where does all that sleep go?

24 There is a Monster in Him

An insatiable desire grows inside of him.

It feeds the monster within.

I have been drawing for 6 hours and

I am quite pleased.

It seems that my monster has been

well fed tonight :-)

23 Conscience and Desire

Its a never ending battle between the two oi

under protective custody.

The mob found him eventually.

In from the wild a creature.

Not a man.

Something who knows not

who they are or what

purpose they serve.

20 Granfather Caught 3 Demons & Bottled Them Up

Do not drink from the jugs on grandfathers shelf for they hold three demons imprisoned.

Free Verse

A new technique in street art has just presented itself to me. I read about something called free verse on Wooster Collective. Free Verse is when participants take lines of poetry and tag that and take a picture that shows how the verse harmonizes with the enviornment in which it is in. It is a very creative idea that lends itself well to poets and photographers alike.

19 Pompous Asshole Artist

Isnt this the stereotypical view of artists.

That they are always looking down thier

noses at you and ride around on their high

horses.

17 Imagination Infestation

Things creep around in there.

Perhaps I should put up some

roach motels in there.

16 A Wolf Lurks Nearby

There was a shadown in the very corner of your eye.

You did not see it but something is out there.

15 Blindly Follow Orders

The Milgram Experiment proves

that most people would blindly follow

commands from an authority figure

regardless if those orders were to harm

another human being. Even if the person

feels that the order is morally wrong they

tend to obey what they are told to do.

14 Amongst the Clouds

This is how days at work are spent.

Undergraduate show update!!!

So as you know i was accepted into the Colorado State University Undergraduate show. I was there opening night but didnt stay very long and missed the jurrying of the work!!! So today I just found out that two ladies from the Denver Museum of Contemporary art juried the show and they love both of my peices. So now both peices of artwork have won jurors picks from the show. This is an unexpected and wonderful turn of events!!! Visit the Curfman Gallery to see "The Suitors" and "The Bound Woman" until May 1st.

13 Improper Undergarments

Its funny how we never truly

know

how a person is underneath.

We present ourselves to be

proper but are sometimes really

freaky underneath.

12 Death Waits

He waits patiently

11 Always on the Run

Never stopping or slowing down.

Cold metal robots always on the run.

Fast as they can around the town.

Never stopping to enjoy beauty of a flower or radiance of the sun.

They just never go away do

they. The ghosts are always

with us.

some cheer in an otherwise

gray colorless world.

Thank you and good day.

Something that has decayed

comes back again in this

circle of life.

hmm the lion king really says it all :P

6 Bananas in Line

More bananas but these all have thier own personalities.

Drawing from Nature

I have thought about the metaphors that i use to represent ideas and emotions that can't be explained with simple woreds. What I have come to realize is that most of the time i draw my metaphors from the natural world rather than the world created by the hand of man. This is interesting to me because all of my life I have livedin urban areas completely surrounded by everything man made. I would be unable to survive without the comforts that the modern world provides. It would seem natural if I drew comparisons from objects that I see Daily like the warm glow of a street light or the luminesence of the television. Instead I use flowers and animals and phenomina in nature to help express myself. This shows that I am connected with nature no matter how far away i am from it. Wether I distance myself from the natural world by choice or not I still feel a certain connection to my roots. Despite my lack of contact with nature i feel a stronger connection with it than concrete and steel. This connection with nature while living in a city leaves me in an odd middle ground with one foot on either side. Perhaps what this means is that there is harmony to be found between the natural world and the man made one. Or that the man made world must find harmony with the natural one. Maybe I am the flower that grows from the crack in the concrete.

5 Sad Sack Banananana

I love to personify inatimate objects. This particular banana was just looking a bit pathetic to me.

I was pondering on different things that we consume in order to get through our day and this is the result of it.

3 Fish Monger

Here is a quirky little fellow called the Fish Monger.

The ribbon cutting will take that long because it is enormous. Friday the 3rd internationally reknown artist Mel Chin will be speaking at the Csu Museum from 5:30pm to 6:30 pm. I shall be attending this event so i will miss the first hour of the friday night gallery walk. I will be at my studio right after the event so you can still catch me at The Gallery underground. MOCA will be having the mask exhibition on friday night as well. The exhibit focuses on masks painted by members of the community. Proffessional artists as well as art enthusiasts will be displaying work.
