Amy Stein

A reminder of how awesome Amy Stein's body of work is... I'm looking forward to even more.

Maybe the most interesting is her project called "stranded" take a look at the map. For me, this is very interesting to see where all of these photos were taken, some of them are very close to home in terms of location for me.

These... are paintings.

Amazing

Paper Daggers

My friend and old co-worker Josh has put together a site of his posters. He has an affinity for skulls. To each his own obsession!

I love his style, and incorporation of photos and type is genius. The symbolism is beautiful. And great, vivid color!

Ginger Williams

One of the sweet girls in town who is also extremely awesome, I haven't had the pleasure of getting to know (yet). This is Ginger Williams. Her art work has always stood out in our area, and she's always coming up with new styles it seems, but they all fit together in some way. They are creative in terms of subject, and I have noticed a progression in her talent over time.

Recently, she's created (or maybe she's only recently updated it) an etsy store. And now you can buy her work from all over the world! You are privileged! Take a look at her shapes and color palettes that make you want to sit back, relax, and eat an ice cream sandwich.

Au Fil De..

I do not speak French. I think that this title may mean "On the fly," but that's according to the small amount a google search could tell me.

I've followed this flickr stream for a while, and I always love the photos. They are simply gorgeous. This person really has an eye for beauty in simplicity, but also has it down to a science. It's amazing. Every photo is beautiful. Extreme depth of field, texture, antiqued tones. They really have quite a collection.

These illustrations I'd seen on flickr a long time ago. But I had completely forgotten about them, until recently. The artist has updated their stream, finally! And it was a good memory to be revived. I not only love this person's style, but also the ideas that are being displayed here. You'd need to visit the flickr stream to see more of what I mean. I'd love to buy a very large print, or .. someone please hire her to make some awesome wallpaper.

I don't know if this answers any questions for us, but it was entertaining to watch, and Will is a hoot

Magic City Art Connection

I am just now getting around to loading photos on my computer, and organizing things from a week ago. Last weekend I went to the Magic City Art Connection, in Birmingham, AL. I grew up in Hoover, but have never been to this event. I was so happy to be there, and see everything! I know that artists that showed there are from all over the place, but there was so much inspiring work, it made me proud of Birmingham. I'm glad to know that the art scene there is great, and still growing.

I want to mention a few good artists I saw there. And I hope they don't hate me for it, but I took photos of their art, so that I could remember them, and remember their work, and also blog about it here if I wanted to. I'm going to post some of my eye-catchers here over time.


Possibly the most memorable was John Lytle Wilson.

This guy should do character designs for a movie, and write it. (or tv show) I expect that the storyline would be amazing, because what's actually going on in these paintings, I do not know, but you have to have an original imagination for this kind of content.

I've played with this effect before in photoshop, I know very little about video editing, but this whole thing was so very amazing!! How do they do it!

New York photo stitches

This is a setting on my camera, the photo stitch assist. It guides you by showing the previous photo you took, so you can take the next one and not get too far off. I love the effect though, and in college when we did the David Hockney project where we put all the printed photos together, it was, and still is my favorite of all time. I really should get photos printed more often and do more of these.
