Blog #25: Tim Hawkinson vs. Yinka Shonibare

Ok so this is horrible of me to say but I might as well be honest. When we were watching the video of Yinka Shonibare I quickly noticed that his head was constantly tilted to one side. I assumed this was because he was a deep and broody artist who was tilting his head either in a condescending matter...

Artist 15/20: Tom Clark

"I try and present each statue with a dignity that comes from a life worth living". This is a quote from an artist who whether I like it or not has greatly influenced my home. Why some people collect little animal figurines, or beanie babies, this man's sculpted figurines are what litter my house....

Artist 14/20: Stan Winston

I've featured a blog about Jim Henson who, in some respects, is very similar to my next artist. His works could easily be considered artistic masterpieces as they stand but the twist with this man's work is that his artwork moves! The movement makes his work complete since his prerogative as an artist...

Blog #24: Arnzen Drug Displa

So one of our assigned blog topics was a trip and critique of a display of some kind. Quite honestly, most of the local museums and such were closed in my hometown. But the shoppes were quite busy. There is this one store on my town's mainstreet called Arnzen Drug. It's a locally owned pharmacy, electronic,...

Blog #22: Final Class Assignment Idea!!

Our final class assignment sounds incredibly exciting albeit proving to be very challenging given the parameters. If it were simply an independent project I would have an endless list of ideas but having to make this a potential class assignment has been surprisingly limiting. I'm a perfectionist and...

Artist 13/20: Josephine Wall

Okie dokie. So while I'm on a run of fantasy artists, I'd like to share with you another artist. Her art actually ventures into the Surreal as her art is very dreamlike. I'm continuously forgetting her name. I wouldn't say she's influenced me per say with my art style. However, every once in a while...

Blog #21: Thanksgiving Art Time

Before I left for Thanksgiving break I decided to try and make an effort to get caught up on my blogs. So far I've succeeded only in failing to do that. BUT let it be known that I haven't been neglecting my artistic juices. As a matter o face I may have stumbled onto artistic genius. Or just something...

Artist 12/20: John Howe

I think it would be unfair to cover one of these artists and exclude the other so I shall do my best at covering them both individualistically. Firsts I'll do one an entry about one and another later on. Together these men have created an iconic world and brought to visual life the mythology...

I seem to only be doing that coporation favors. So this time around it's on a website channel called Indie Mogul which...

Artist 11/20: Alphonse Mucha

Now this artist, I knew I liked for a very long time. His style is so distinct that no one can make anything similar without being referenced to him. I would intermittently come across his works but never knew his name. This is Alphonse Mucha. He is often referred to as the accidental father of...

Artist 10/20: Thomas Kinkade

I'm hitting up Kitch Central today baby! Thomas Kinkade. Oh yes. The king of cheesey marketability himself. And what can I say...yeah...I'm a sucker for pink trees and gazebos. He's known as the 'Painter of Light' and is apparently the most collected living artist. Yes well...the man is a sellout whore....

Blog #19: Progress report!

OH Unhappy Day! I've lost my USB thumbdrive which contains all my digital work, including my disney princesses, my personal photos, papers written for other classes, and programs I used. Well actually I must have lost it nearly 3 weeks ago and I'm only now getting around to lamenting about it. It really is distressing since I rarely misplaces things. Rather, it must have fallen out of my hoodie pockent...
