Art event four

Date Visited: October thirteenth, two thousand seven.
Location; http://theartdump.com/blog2/

Description: This site is a blog I found through a maze of link sections off of previously visited art sites. I was immediately attracted to the flip book (zine) animated gif file. I MUST try to create one of these asap.

Relative to class: I want to create a flip book zine of this style using flash.

Artist: David Choe

Description:
David Choe is a free spirited artist. His media is a wide spectrum. "He can paint anything and everything, as well as on anything and everything. He has won lots of awards and his art work can be seen in almost every facet of society, from comics, murals, toys, prints, movies, music, magazines, books, t.shirts, posters, commercials, shoes, fine art, etc."

Relative to class: I am attracted to this style of art. I see similar methods of approching artwork in my work compared to Choe's.

Art event two

Place Visited: www.studionumberone.com
Artist: Studio numberone staff


Brief Description: This website is a straight forward showcase of the latest designs produced by studio number one graphic artists. Shepard Fairey is the man behind the company. He got his start with obeygiant and launched this design company. I am a big fan of his work.

Relative to class: Studio number one claims, "successful brading and marketing is the product of fresh ideas and mutual inspiration between clients and oursleves." I think that a main objective in this class is to learn how to express ideas in a fresh, inspiring technique. Learning Flash is a way for me to accomplish this goal.

Art event ONE

California Moderns Art Show

This event was one I visited as well as participated in. An event fascilitated by aspiring artist Zac Logan was produced and held in the streets of downtown at a small yellow house. Filled to the brim the show had a collaboration of local artists. Zac invited myself to the show and asked if I had any work for display.
