because I can.

Dear eight readers. I'm tired. I've been working and taking twenty one credits at the same time. I also paint and draw and have two bands i play drums in, so right now i don't have much time to post. I'm not complaining about all the things i do, just saying that their doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to do them all and get enough sleep to not rip peoples heads off in class.
So here is the post for the day.

The sequel to Cloverfield.

Jon Macnair

Jon Macnair is a seriously gifted artist with pen and paper. He's based in Seattle ( I think/hope/don't really know) and I love, love, love his work. Based around mystical, animalistic characters and oversized fantastical flowers, landscapes, and buildings, he manages to make his artwork seem ancient and contemporary at the same time. His work has been featured in the Baltimore magazine, on the cover of The Stranger, and other various independent publishers. Hers are some pictures of his work, and a link to his very difficult to find website.

Yessssss

Luke Ramsey.

I know it's not portland based but it's northwestish ( that's a word now) based so it's sort of ok to put this on the blog right?
Don't answer that.
Luke Ramsey makes incredibly detailed perfectly colored pieces of art that are a sight to behold. his line work is absolutely perfect, and switches between thick almost childish lines, to tiny near invisible detail lines. Here are some pictures of his work, and a link to his blog, and a link to his company where you can buy his work and support him and the other artists he is friends with.

so like music and stuff?

So surprisingly enough I listen to music on occasion and right now I can not get enough of the new Air album. It's the band at their finest. It came out a while ago, (by a while ago I mean 2009) and it's dreamy and beautiful and filled with songs that make you want to simultaneously dance and pass out to. Here's some youtube beauty and the link to the myspace.

Mike Perry : too cool 4 skool

I Have been a HUGE Mike Perry fan for quite some time so i thought i would share his work with all of you guys. He's a big influence on the art that I create which is probably immediately apparent in his use of repetitive patterns, thin line work and bold splashes of color. His work memorizes me on a daily basis. Anyways... Here's the link to his website, and two pictures that make me smile.

The art of science




So I have a huge love for anything involving science and art combined so when I stumbled across this website I instantly fell in love with everything on it. Above are three pictures that are my personal favorites but almost all of the images on the site are extremely cool and extremely interesting
