Nuevo Exhibición Artistico

Hey whats up?

Making progress on my new edition to my magazine, with all sorts of interesting stuff to view, read and fill in the blanks. I've just been going to class and making art at all times of the day and/or night, playing disc golf here and there, as well as DJing in my free time. I like to display whatever kind of art I can whenever I can and pretty soon I'm thinking about doing a little live art while music is played by a DJ or band. My goal is to get a reaction, any reaction to the art and music that I like to make. Enjoy the post and KEEP IT REAL.

ART

INSPIRATION

This piece of art displays yet another interpretation of my taste for music illustrated through my art. As you can tell, I wanted to get rid of the square picture edges, so I embellished the image with a couple different stylized brushes with vines and leaves.

MECHANICS

I used multiple records, including one broken into pieces and with blend modes I melded the pictures together. I replaced the outside corners on the centered turntable image with vines and leaf brushes for a more dramatic look.

AESTHETICS

I made sure to maintain the original vintage look of the centered turntable image and by doing that I kept the surrounding objects in the same general color scheme. Just for personal reasons I didn't change any of the contrast, although I did add some saturation for a vignette type of look.

Hey, Whats up?

I'm doing a little more renovating to this blog, so please don't be surprised if one day you look and its completely different, with a new customized layout. But seriously, this blog is now hosting art for social media, networking for business and also small-scale advertising at a local level. I, of course am responsible for creating all of the art you see on this blog and I also need to mention that all pieces are copy written and not distributable without a license by law. Now, this is one of a network of blogs, all started by Writers, DJs, Musicians, Artists, Illustrators, Painters, the works. Please be on the lookout for new blogs entering this network as I am in the process of inviting new members on a monthly basis. As for now, there are about 3-4 blogs total, and in about 1 year's time I expect that number to exceed 20. Thanks for reading and enjoy the art and music.


ART

 

 INSPIRATION

I've always liked old photography from 1960-1970, its always fun to look at how it's aged. I was inspired by a photograph I viewed of Jimi Hendrix, and I decided to embellish his captured attitude and mindset.

MECHANICS

Starting with some intense colors with styles behind the cut out figure of Jimi Hendrix, I began to add effects as if this were a very surrealistic looking picture taking place in another dimension.

AESTHETICS

For purposes that reflect the Rule Of Thirds, I placed the figure on the left of the art piece. This gave me room available for rendering a wafting, puffy looking smoke effect in addition to making the figure more viewable by blurring its edges.

 

 INSPIRATION

This album cover was a short project I was convinced into completing at my friend's house. It was created in order to give an album cover art and to also create a mood or theme.

MECHANICS

After finding a picture of a red panda online, I decided to overlay it with some grunge brushes and layer styles. I also used some blend modes to add more fluency. I made the brushes black to instill a dark sort of atmosphere, as if this picture took place during an apocalypse.

AESTHETICS

 I enjoy the simplicity in this piece. It is a basic yet concise message, sent to the viewer from the artist. I wanted to convey the simple fact that wild animals can be more dangerous than they look from afar.

 INSPIRATION

This piece was inspired by a list of different books, movies, posters and music, all currently unnameable. I can tell you, however that I picked up an interest for city skylines over the past 3 1/2 years of being a graphic designer.

MECHANICS

I attempted to construct a double layered city, with an intense explosion emitting outward from behind. I gave the building layers colorful attributes as well as a glow to add to the atmosphere around them. It is supposed to look as if the explosion has not completely taken effect.

AESTHETICS

 I wanted the piece above to appear as if it were a snapshot in time of the moment before the immense city is destroyed by a fictional nuclear blast. I have toyed with this type of image from time to time, creating shocking and bleak scenes before incredible disasters vaporize unreal civilizations.
