One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure

Its amazing how this profession is the only one that a variety of materials can be used; bought from the most expensive store to garbage dump shopping.

Artwork Not Limited

What I find interesting is that this artist does not limit his work to just canvas or board etc, he uses the entire space.

Something to Think About

Why is it that the world seem to have a preconceived idea that artists are people with issues or those who fall the bottom of the academic ladder? For some reason you have to be a weirdo or have psychological problems in order to fit the definition 'artist'. I have a serious problem with that and for some reason it really pisses me off! I'm not a weirdo, nor do I have any psychological problems (that I'm aware of).  Yes artist are way more expressive than others and sometimes it literally shows but I think it only means that we are not hypocrites. Some people would love to be bold and do what we do but they worry about what society thinks (and do them behind closed doors). What really am I getting at? Not sure yet, lol but I feel free to say whatever I'm feeling and  I'll deal with where it goes later!

Anyway, art is in everything; fashion, architecture, automobiles, even the labels that every item has. I think we as artist need to stop thinking that we waiting for the big break that will make us famous and start doing work. We dont always have to wait for us to come up with something brilliant but find a niche that is already known to explore and to look at with new eyes.

Paintings affected by light

What I find interesting about this work is that the 3rd dimension requires some sort of light for one to get the full effect. Its two dimensional but with light it gives a feel of 3 dimensions.

Alice in Wonderland

An Analysis of The Pool of Tears by Sparks Notes

Alice becomes confused about her identity as her size changes, mirroring the confusion that occurs during the transition from childhood to adulthood. The reality that she is too large to fit into the garden produces confusion over who she is, which Alice responds to with bouts of crying and self-reproach. Unable to accept the changes she is experiencing, she questions her own identity. Since she cannot remember her own lessons, she believes that she must not be Alice anymore. At first, Alice assumes that she may in fact be someone she knows. The comparisons she draws between herself and Mabel show her class-consciousness, as well as her ties to the material trappings of the Victorian world. Though she tries to use chains of reasoning suited to the aboveground world, the paradox of Wonderland is that she must accept the logic of nonsense or she will go mad with contradiction.

Alice tries to deal with her predicament reasonably, but the episode in the pool of tears illustrates how easily Wonderland distracts her from reason and causes her to react emotionally. The sea of tears is like a punishment for Alice’s giving in to her own emotions. Alice vacillates between crying and scolding herself, going back and forth between emotion and reason. However, as she swims, she doesn’t notice that the landscape has transformed around her. The great hall has become an ocean, while the floor has become a dry “shore.” Instead of reacting to her predicament by rationalizing the problem or starting to cry, she distracts herself by trying to figure out how to address the Mouse. Alice has started to react with total detachment to the absurd situations in which she finds herself. As she proceeds throughout her journeys, she will continue to encounter problems that cause her to react with extremes of emotion or reason. However, in this scene, she has begun to take the absurdities of Wonderland at face value, allowing herself to become distracted so that she ignores the real problem at hand.
