My Old Friend

Night Owl

Painted with Gouache

Goodnight

WHAT’S ON: Chemical Computer, Andrew Cannon. May 17- July 12, 2014. Santa Monica Museum of Art.

From Santa Monica Museum of Art:

Constructed almost entirely on the floor and without paintbrushes, the paintings are the products of both improvisatory manipulation and technical craft. Marks made through pouring, fingerprinting, embossing, and baking, create dynamic topographies that embed surfaces with layers alternately opaque, translucent, and reflective…The paintings shift between complex insular systems and overtly patterned decoration—simultaneously invoking ideas of simulation, psychedelia, kitsch, handicraft, illusion, and solipsism that stand in and outside of the history of painting.

Farben des Herbst

A piece a did while back that never got finished.

I started this piece when i was hyped about dragon age inquisition.

I never felt so happy when it was possible to play as a qunari.

Fire and Ice by Florian Matei

Mountain Flowers.

Saw a small patch of blooming flowers coming down from the summit of Washington on Jewell Trail, so naturally I had to take a picture of it.

‘The mainstay of my work is sideshow. I swallow razorblades, walk on broken glass, eat lightbulbs and stuff. For a circus performer, I’m neither fit nor flexible. It’s all in my fingers and tongue. I had an act where my assistant would feed me razorblades. She’d then swallow some string and then we’d snog. As we snogged, we regurgitated what we swallowed and tie the razorblades under the string with our tongues.’ How did you get in to this? ‘It’s weird. I studied business. I thought that was the smart thing to do. I didn’t study art and drama like I wanted to because like that’s ever going to make you a living. I picked up fire twirling just by randomness and started getting work for it. I then started to diversify. I went from fire dancing to fire eating to fire breathing to sword swallowing to swallowing other things to just working on controlling responses of the body that are normally automatic that we normally don’t have conscious control over – that your subconscious takes over itself. ‘What I do, it’s not like an adrenaline rush. I’m not seeking death or pain or anything like that. It’s actually more methodical. It’s more mastery of your body. It’s not even mind of body. It’s more mind over mind really. My old assistant used to say, “Everything is in the mind. Even the mind is in the mind.”’ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dangerboy/56287834814?fref=ts
