me... i used to be very influence by all the renaissance painters and modernist and futurists and contemporary dreamers... but i have learned to look to myself for inspiration to truely find my own voice and my style, and now i get so much more from looking into the breathing forest, than at something another has already frozen on a flat surface...

 

Alex Grey is the only artist Ive ever really noticed, love his work.

 

Yeah, Alex Grey, Chet Zar, Salvidor Dali. A lot of renissance painters were just brilliant aswell.

 

First and foremost, Dali was a genius.
I am a fan of some of Botticelli's work, but there are some paintings of his that just irk me.
Bosch was way ahead of his time, especially with "The Garden of Earthly Delights" which is probably one of my top 5 favorite works. Bruegel did some similarly complicated large focus/small detail paintings, which were also really great.
In terms of more recent artists, I adore Mark Ryden, Camille Rose Garcia and genius graffiti artist Fafi.

 

Wow! This is beautiful stuff. Thank you for passing it on.

Peace and Love

 

Renoir is reputed to have replied to the question whether he painted from his head or his heart, "Non, mes couilles-my balls."

 

After seeing many paintings at the New York art museums...I really liked the way Renoir applied paint. But, I really like the images Dali created...the museum in St. Pete is awesome.

 

My Favorite artists are Richard Griffin, Peter Max, and Ralph Steadman. Richard Griffin is my favorite of all of them.

 

I agree with inkblob, the Dali Museum is a must see! Its overwhelming!

 

definitly salvador dali <3

 

******____--------------------......check out the book, graffiti world. they have it at borders, it's amazing.

mati klarwein .......did the covers for, abraxas, by santana and bitches brew ,by miles davis. interdimensional voyages, ( smoke a joint of cali kind bud before viewing.)

pablo amaringo......... is an ayahuasca artist from peru. more transcendental voyages into the beyond. fasten your seat belt!

alex grey is over the top!! ----- not to mention all abstract expressionist art from new york in the 50's. jackson pollack especially---- and of course all abstract/surrealist european art, especially the french and spanish paintings and sculpture from the first half of the 20th century. paris must have been a trip during the heyday of modern art in the 1920's and before it got overrun with motor vehicles.

robert rauschenberg just left this world a few days ago at 83. he totally redefined modern art. took it to the limit in the 50's. he started making art/ sculpture/paintings from junk and rubbish he found on the street in new york in the late 40's-early 50's.

i was at the museum of contemporary art yesterday in chicago. as far as i can tell so-called "modernism" appears to be a luxury for children from yuppieland. not much imagination over there, but lot's of money to finance fluffy, uninspired weirdness. when is there going to be a major museum devoted to graffiti art. graffiti art makes most of what i saw at the museum of contemporary art look like post-kindergarten self-expression for sheltered lives. in theory it's fine, but there was just no inspiration, no life experience to back it up, just lots of money. graffiti art is the art of the people,it has soul, it has imagination, it has feeling, it's real......--**(^)^^~~~fortunately they had some sculptures by alexander calder. oh well........

TIME IS ART!!!!!!!

( also i like my paintings;...........is there anyone out there who would like to participate in, help create, provide living space for and/or finance a group living project for artists, where life becomes art and people have the freedom and the time to really express themselves and reach their full potential as human beings?)

 

myself. not because i think i'm worth a dam, but because i do the kinds of things i'm interested in and i can't think of anyone who quite does them and that's why i do.

who else, well there's a bunch of architects of the unusual, most of who'se names i can never remember or never learned. gaudi is the one name i can remember that comes easily to mind, and roger dean, and that itallian or french or whatever he is guy lovins or something like that. not that i care for everything gaudi did either. his more freeform looking stuff, the art neuvo, that i like, but he also did a bunch of more conventional stuff i dont care for all that much.

you can talk about great artists doing great things with human faces and hands and so on, but i don't really care about human faces and hands and so on.

so i don't even try to either. and i've never tried to sell anything. i don't want to sove my visions down anyone's throat, but i do like for people to see the kind of world the priorities of the dominant culture are screwing everyone out of. and i don't suppose i'm doing all that good of illustrating that either. but that's why i do it and my intention.

and i guess what i do is more illustration then art, because its not too much about human, or any other kinds of emotion. i really think the emotion thing is way over the top over done in art, and the fanatacism of art criticism that it has to be about that to be called art.

so i don't really care what anyone calls what i do. i just like for people to think about the kind of world the're creating and hopefully desire as i do, to make it more universally gratifying. interesting in a gratifying way and gratifying in an interesting way. aesthetics of succinctness and harmonizing and intigrating tecnology and nature. using that more modest scale of tecnology to live closer to nature and still with the gratification of playing with tecnologies that are mostly and more harmless to it.

so i dream up odd little trains and odd little houses and odd little non-human people with relatively low poly counts. though the low poly count isn't an objective. just an artifact of my limited cash flow for the means of creating it.

At the moment, definately Frida Kahlo
She is my idol

But then I like all the artists you find in tiny shops who wear overalls and get messy. Their work is normally always amazing

 

Picasso,Dali.They are awesome.

 

Right Now I'm Diggin' On Jackson Pollock.
