art share LA

yesterday...i attended miss eugenia's art class over at Art Share LA . located in downtown los angeles, art share's mission is to shape lives through art, education and community action. the center was so welcoming and everyone was extremely courteous. plenty of great works were on display from such talented artists including eugenia's. it was inspirational. i enjoyed it very much and am looking forward to going back when i get the chance. THANK YOU for having me and thank you for the wonderful tour around the city. i think what you do there is amazing.

good morning

2 classes done today, 2 more to go this week.

good times.

never a doubt.

i have a problem...

ARTST, without the "i"

repost. but oh well, its fun and some people have amazing work. check it out: Pharrell's ARTST guild and gallery. i'm hoping to fill up my artst page with (hopefully) quality work this winter.

‘Something Big Something Small’ | Pharrell Williams

The New York Times Style Magazine sat down with Pharrell Williams recently for its ‘Something Big Something Small’ video series, where he talks about The Tank Chair collaboration with Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, currently showing in Art Basel Miami. This short clip gives a great insight on how the project came about, his inspirations and how he is giving opportunities for young artists to create, upload and share work on the web platform he has created, Artst Guild and Gallery. You can check out the video HERE.

xmas tree.

my parents have been crazy as can be lately. we don't really celebrate christmas as a family anymore...so i was thinking about maybe getting this tree for my room this christmas. i think it'd be great. i'd wrap the base with a lil blue blanket like linus did too.

hilary duff

on the cover of NYLON magazine this month (well jan. 2010) is hilary duff. i just LOVE her and her style.

warhol.

unfathomable. warhol's "eight elvises" just sold for a record $100 million in a private sale and earlier this month, warhol's "200 one dollar bills" auctioned for $43.8 million. i should use better words when speaking of art but man...that's just bananas.

KOSTON.

big

procrastinating on my paper...so i watched BIG this afternoon. one of my favorite movies of all time.

Picasso’s Guernica in 3D

cory kennedy

p-rod beat cory in the semi's of the battle of the berrics 2 and then lost to no-style cole in the finals...but cory kennedy played his 3rd place match and oh my, a triple-flip!?

give thanks.

ARTST

i've been looking at ARTSLANT and ARTST networks (kinda like a facebook for artists) lately and decided to join ARTST. its kind of neat to browse through other artists' works and get inspiration and to see the variety of styles while being able to share your work as well.

figure drawing

figure drawing class has been a little frustrating. everything seems monotonous now and i feel like i'm not doing any good pieces. i got this back today though, and i kind of like it. one out of a thousand drawings it seems...
