Today was incredibly beautiful. I sat for an hour and a half and drew these weird clumpy things.

Today, my artist friend, Airy and I spent the afternoon at the botanical gardens and came across this miraculous plant. Many bees fluttered around with clumps of the brightest orange pollen stuck to their legs.    Airy's painting for the day I was really excited to see such amazing works in this art show. My friend Mark and I visited several galleries. Museum of Arts & CraftsAn artist set up an area for people to create that includes scraps of fabric and other notions. Mark was ready to leave, so I very quickly made this tangled piece.  Minnesota Street GalleriesIncredible collages by Vik Muniz. Group Show Today I just worked on preparing black backgrounds for future collages.  Airy's mom joined us and she completed this collage.  In progress collage by Airy. On the way home, came across this rad mural.  I was hard-pressed to find anything that I loved.    I had extra cutouts left over from my previous collage, so I used them.  Most of you know that Sargent is one of my favorite painters and so I was extremely excited to see this show.      Catherine Clark GalleryMinnesota Street ProjectMonica LundyI love this artist's work. Trippy photography  I love this visceral ceramic piece.      This incredible installation by Charles Lee explores black cowboys.    Today I just worked on organizing my collage materials and making black backgrounds, while Mark was on fire.  Mark's collage  Mark's best collage yet.  Mark's collage using my scraps.
Today we met at Atlas Cafe and had to be almost thrown out because we went so overtime. Sorry pics are so blurry.   My collage for the day  Airy's collage  Tobiah's sketch  Richie's collage Mark's collage Mark's collage Mark's collage made from my scraps.
Spent another incredible day drawing and sketching the nude.    My bits of beloved charcoal.
Back in October of last year, I visited the Toledo Art Museum and discovered the artist, Ralph Albert Blakelock, who I instantly fell in love with. He sadly spent many years in a mental institution. Tonight I reviewed his work online.  This is the first painting I discovered of his at the Toledo Art Museum. My friend and I screwed around making paper after visiting the museum. It was really fun and I'm excited to try integrating spices into the paper.    I was not surprised that I'd love this show. It is completely over the top and decadent.  I had to revisit a few of my favorite paintings as well.    My friend and I stopped by the piers and I snapped a few pics. I played with low res pics and blurring. I found this small pop-up gallery in Hayes Valley and liked this work by Joseph "JD" Green.    |
