Skull

I have been looking at a lot of Mexican folk art recently and I tried to mimic their styles.

Unreleased Video of Jean Micheal Basquiat

Jean Micheal Basquiat was considered one of the most important artists of the 1980s. This interview was done in 1986, just two years before Micheal's death from a heroin overdose. The footage has not been seen by the public for over 20 years...I am quite curious about this interview and will definitely see it (it was released on February 21st).

Edie Sedgwick

I just watched Factory Girl for the 5th time. It is one of my favorite movies, and Edie definitely is a tragic character. I have always been more fascinated with her life than Andy Warhol's. I must admit I'm not a huge Studio 54 fan...I just don't get most of Warhol's work, maybe with an Art History course or two it'll sink in.

Math Tutoring

I am a math tutor (mostly calculus...) but no one came in today...so this is what happens. You can be happy to know that it was done on the back of an old "Algebra Problem Set" because I recycle!

Cool Artist of the Week: Peter Max

Why I like him: peter Max's use of bright neon colors and trippy images characterized the psychedelic pop art movement of the 1960s. You have to love his bold use of color.

Photo Archives...

If you look at my last photography post you may have noticed a picture of railroad tracks...well this was the FIRST picture of those tracks I took nearly 4 years ago. This was all done with the same Kodak Easy Share camera by the way.





Some more early pictures I took in high school...
