Graffiti

June 13, 2017 By nicole

There is a Giant supermarket near my house that I walk to from time to time. A couple of years ago I noticed a dirt path next to the parking lot, and I decided to walk down it. The path lead me to some sort of concrete structure. I’m not entirely sure what it was ever used for, but now it’s falling apart and covered in all different kinds of graffiti. Although I don’t support vandalism, graffiti is a unique type of art that I feel deserves to be showcased.

The graffiti on the walls of the structure has changed dramatically since I first discovered it. Notice in the two photos above that the eye in the left is the same, but almost everything else has been covered by new art.

Other than the red arrow in the two photos above, everything else has changed.

 

Here are are some of my current favorites:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course there are also a fair amount profane words and images of private parts covering the walls.

But for the most part it is all unique and beautiful art that I felt needed to be shared.

Two of My Biggest Inspirations

March 3, 2017 By nicole

 

BananaJamana

Jamie Jo, known as BananaJamana on social media, is in my opinion, one of the best artists alive today. She’s become popular for her Youtube channel where she posts videos of herself creating breathtaking paintings along with other forms of art such as cake making and sculpting. She has painting everything from hyper-realistic portraits, to amazingly detailed Disney characters, and she even has a video of herself painting a lifelike hamburger. What’s amazing is that in a recent video she revealed to her audience that she usually only has a few hours each week to create her amazing works of art. Whenever I watch one of her videos, I’m always inspired to create my own paintings.

Bob Ross
Most people have heard of Bob Ross even though he has been dead for twenty years. His famous television show, The Joy of Painting (1983-1994), is still popular today. During episodes of his show, he paints amazing oil paintings while explaining his technique. Although he encourages his audience to paint along with him, according to a statistic only 10% of his viewers actually did. The other 90% simple watched for his calming voice and uplifting commentary. It’s impossible to be in a bad mood while watching Bob Ross. Although most viewers didn’t paint along with him, I’ve started to take out my own canvas and brushes in my free time and attempt to paint along to an episode or two. His paintings always turn out much better than mine, but his pleasant attitude is so encouraging that I love every painting that he helps me create.
