The Best Space on Earth

I am constantly inspired by raw creativity.  I want to create ina space where thought is not inhibited,
where walls come alive and ideas flow freely.  I think I have found the spave for me in today's "Panic Room" by Tilt.  Now I just need my wifes Permission :) Enjoy the video.

Art In Its Many Phases

Like many artists, there are times when I am extremely overjoyed with my work, and other times when I know in my heart that something simply did not work.  Such was the case with this painting. 

Originally I wanted to create a clean graphic (silhouette) image of a pair of headphones.  I thought a painting would produce the results I was looking for; however, me being quite rusty at painting, produced this less than desirable result.  While this attempt came out okay, it wasn’t quite what I was looking for. 


What is a man to do?

 

Well, I repainted the canvas several times, ending up with this image.  This is much closer to the original idea, and has a lot of the elements that inspired me during my recent trip to San Francisco. 

It’s great to now have something I truly enjoy. I learned that ideas take many forms, and that they take time to correctly communicate.  Here’s to more great art work, and many more mistakes. J

Flying Rabbi's

This past weekend, I met a really cool artist by the name of Jonathan Blum.  He is a native of the District, with a quirky sense of humor.  His art is a mix of humor and texture, complimented by the rich history of the Jewish religion.  I look forward to owning a piece by him one day soon. Thanks for the inspiration Jonathan! If you would like to know more about Jonathan and his work, check him out at the link below.
