Mom Had a Stroke... I'm back now

My mother suffered a stroke 3 months ago and put me into serious depression. Never fear. I'm back now and making art bigger and better than ever.

Graduate Schools here I come.

I love Fred Mitchell. He's a good guy.

Goddamn it! It's everywhere.

Shit!

Always

I am always looking racism in the face. Specifically I am looking old
racism in the face. It's noting new. Nothing at all is new.

Nigger "I Hate Catchup"

I got this desire to make art while at lunch. So I'm using the
substance I dislike to make an art piece. Why the fuck not? :-)

Susan Sontag says in her book, On Photography, that "time eventually
positions most photographs, even the most amateurish, at the level of
art". I love that statement.

I view the statement as a particular interest point. For me I hope to
create idea and feeling powerful images/art/photographs/art. This word
for me has been where my life is the last 10 years.

Interesting :-)

I find this interesting. The pattern has a nice balance and the color
tones in the tile produce a super flat and even surface. Texture isn't
much but it is there.

It's just a floor though.

"Jimmy Best..." 1981

Sweet Sweetback Badass Song! This piece makes me want to watch that
movie again! I can't wait to buy more spray paint! Boom the world!
(That is code for tagging which is code for graffiti. Hahaha. :-)

Jean-Michel Basquiat (Mixed Media Heaven)

I love this photo piece/collage. It's called "Untitled (We have
decided...)". This piece is the fucking boss shit that makes Basquiat
such a force in the art world.

The piece keeps you excited because it presents a nice array of
messages. Using acrylic, blood, ink, and paper collage on paper, the
viewer is presented with a surreal effect.

Not my favorite piece by far but I sure do enjoy this one over most of
the half-ass shit I see lately. I just don't "feel" most art today. I
think our generation needs an update. :-)
