see I can see the beauty in this, the hilarity that arises, the anger that triggers more spontaneous ideas, the meaning, the reason and come back to look this picture up again and find something new

some new feeling it erupts

some new emotion it tickles

some new idea it pushes

I'm always looking for a kaleidoscope element in designs

this is one of my favorite minds to visit: but does it float

after hours of research on med school the most defining moment was googling the highest paid occupation finding anesthesiologist sitting at the top it was an obvious and immediate decision


changing my mind, art school was the most natural choice and the decision to "live life for knowledge as my wealth" became my mantra


however, coming across the article 50 Best Careers of 2011 the look into a curator's future assured me more of my recent life decision, the position comes with more bang for its buck "Still, this is a job for people who love the work and can live without a fat paycheck." 


I want the leisure to travel, to forever engage my mind with newer and newer perspective and concepts for art, and become an expert in critique but first a Ph.D, first first a Bachelors

thrown into a graphic design introduction class for the love of typography was almost a regret, almost -
failing wasn't suppose to happen (obviously) but gaining from failure is much more important
I see absolutely everything in a graphic design now, my mind is forever changed to find the design in everything
so I used a typographic influence for my final business card

typography served was great help

"the idea that everyone sees the world in a purely subjective matter, is an objective concept in and of itself"

visually pleasing, however, my initial reaction was the idea of the menstrual cycle how chaotic and disturbing it can be but still maintained within a slender, delicate, whimsical woman
I also, almost immediately, reacted to it as a fashion illustration with the figures in over-exaggerated poses and the eye on the ultimate red cocktail dress

my subjective reaction to color was thrown by the deep stress of red - it can be used to enhance hunger in advertising, prosperity in the eastern hemisphere, or power as proposed in religious art work - it changed the figures to a strong, shaped, boom-pow piece of movement

I enjoyed that the only line work was to emphasize where one body ended and another began

the only improvement I would suggest would be to form the figures in a space of time or placement

question: is it one person in different movements?

Art in the Streets is the first major U.S. museum survey of graffiti and street art. Curated by MOCA Director Jeffrey Deitch and Associate Curators Roger Gastman and Aaron Rose, the exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Sao Paulo, where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. The exhibition will feature paintings, mixed media sculptures, and interactive installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists and will emphasize Los Angeles's role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to seminal local movements such as cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. A comprehensive timeline illustrated with artwork, photos, video, and ephemera will provide a historical context for the work.

I think graffiti being considered a global phenomenon and appreciated as an art that carries all aesthetic appeal is a positive movement forward. I have yet to see the Art in the Streets exhibition for myself, but I am well aware of the anticipation for a show this tremendous with the amount of regarded graff artist. The examination into the development of street art and where it is evolving culturally is something I plan to be committed to and revolve my career around.

Freedom of Conscience

Clifford Rainey

chain and bars through neck reference the body is held captive but the clear glass head represent clarity, closed eyes in thought - body is enslaved, but mind is free

the security had taken myself and Keo aside to stand back and analyze in our own perspective, a moment to pause and let the art question us - made me decide that artist are always simple in the most obvious way

cast glass sculpture

its representation of enslavement, the broken chin & distorted side of the face reflect the seizer of facial jewelry - the artistic process, in my opinion, went through the stages that individual would have to deal with as each personal freedom was taken away
