juxtapoz


one of our favourites.
TITLE: Ray Willows Rays (Self Portrait,) pencil on paper, 8 x 11''
ARTIST: T. S. Abe
yesterday jarrad showed me this art & culture magazine website called 'juxtapoz'. weird name i know. neither of us could say it properly to each other at school today lol. but i checked it out and found loads of awesome art. some is a bit weird - but lots of art is weird these days, some were sooo funny and some were just incredible. we were chatting about it over msn for hours - sending links back and forth going, 'look at this one!!'. i found this particular video and it was a youtube video of a guy painting a man wearing sunglases. the painter was painting on a rooftop in chicago, and his medium was spray paint. it was incredible! the video showcased his work and his progress throughout the day as he painted. it was a series of photographs with music in the background. and now i am so inspired with art again!
we had our last visual art lesson today =( but i finished my painting =) and im pretty happy with it.

so check out juxtapoz if you are interested in art.
