Category: Artist Mediums

Various artist mediums. Things related to the genre or classification of a process and/or materials used to make a creative product or deliverable. This is of course useless since all creative thinking comes from the same source anyway and as far as I know always has. But humans like boxes.

A Solution to a Problem

Nov 18, 2023

It blows my mind how printing technology has evolved. I love the power of paint on canvas, and I suppose it will always live on. Photography tried to kill it over 100 years ago but as though it were some sort of life form it evolved and survived. But archival printing on canvas offers a new approach to the old fashion single object hand painted object.

The first canvas print came from the printer a few weeks ago. I took a picture to illustrate scale. Please note that due to lighting conditions with my cell phone snapshot the colors are not exact.

This is the first of a group of work that I want to make to target the interior design market. That sounds rather commercial and it is. There is no reason why people in offices, commercial spaces, or residences should be in an insipidly decorative box. I know from my experiences lightly stimulating color and pattern can feed the mind. Here is an article related to art in offices expanding this idea.

The title, A Solution to a Problem, is a reference to the acceleration of motivation that occurs when a challenge (business or life) is met with a possible solution.

The archival print medium can provide a high quality art object yet can be replicated. I think of it as though it is a piece of furniture. And I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Below is this image flat on.

Thank you for taking the time to read this update as I continue to roll out my art business.

Human Figure Compositions

Jan 17, 2022

For some reason I had previously rarely incorporated human figures in my work. I decided to change that last year. I don’t think artists always “capture” a figure but rather they interpret via eye-brain-hand. The result is a sort of spiritual magic. So I am happy my life journey is taking me to this path.

I took some drawings and used them to build tableaux with Blender 3D. The first tells the story of the voyeur. I leave the meaning and interpretation to the viewer.

The next tells the story of moving out of the body. Or maybe a liberation from the body.

I have no idea why ball head is watching, or what/who ball head is. Is he disturbed? The naked cut-outs make me think of paper dolls.

I am curious where my path is going.

Just a Picture and Some Art

Oct 30, 2020

Alright hold on for another “what a nice view” cell phone picture. The Internet is filled with them and here’s another:

View of South Palm Springs Valley
View of valley from Lykken Trail Palm Springs California

I like the outdoors, hiking and so on so I figured a view of the valley would do no harm.

Below are two recent digital images I had printed.

I think the darker backgrounds (above) work better on metal prints.

I am finding more possibilities and hope to expand. Maybe I’ll simplify a bit going forward, not sure.
