Landscape Photography of Colorado

Landscape Photography of Colorado

Landscape photography is shot outdoors and is a style of photography that is prefered by many photographers. Lighting conditions play a role in getting the perfect shot and therefore the time of day is very important. Photographers enjoy landscape photography because it keeps them active and puts them in direct contact with nature.

The three styles of landscape photography are abstract, impressionistic, and representational.

Abstract:
The use of silhouettes or other lighting techniques are used to highlight shapes. Abstract landscape photographs use parts of scenery as graphic components and is more important than a realistic representation of what is seen.

Impressionistic:
An impressionistic landscape portrayes a vague sense of reality. Impressionistic photographers make the landscape seem more unreal. The image gives an impression of a landscape rather than the real presentation of one.

Representational:
Representational landscapes are the most realistic natural style of landscape photography. No artificial components are added and special attention is paid to the lighting, framing, and composition of the image.

Guitar Artist

Guitar Artist

Guitar maker Pavel Maslowiec designs and hand crafts guitars for musicians like Daniel Lanois, Rocco DeLuca, Allan Holdsworth and David Gilmour. Pavel is originally from Krakow Poland and came to the U.S. fifteen years ago to live in Orange County, California. While living in Poland, Pavel earned degrees in architecture, medicine and learned wood working skills by building custom houses.

After moving to Orange County, Pavel decided to build a guitar similar to the Telecaster used by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. This is what eventually lead him to learn from guitar maker Doc Pittillo. Doc Pittillo worked with Max Bennet, Marco Mendoza, Hugh Ferguson,  Mike Ness, Rodney Sheppard,  Johnny Winter, Allan Holdsworth, Van Epps, Walter Trout, Jeff Snyder and Eric Sardinas.

There are many difficult challenges in custom guitar design. Pavel’s found that his biggest challenge is creating custom resonators for each artist’s style.  In order to give each artist exactly what they are looking for.  Pavel must first study the wave design and the physics behind the custom resonator for several months.

True Story
In the summer of 1968, Leo Fender paid Doc Pittillo in guitar parts and bodies from the Fender Guitar Factory to work on his boat.  One of the body and necks happened to be the prototype guitar for George Harrison for the Beatles session. Forty years later, Pavel finished the guitar in honor of it’s original recipient.

The Link Between Hip-Hop and Graffiti

The Link Between Hip-Hop and Graffiti

Dating back well over 30,000 years, the evolution of graffiti from prehistoric cave paintings and pictographs has been monumental. Strategically fashioned in ceremonial and consecrated areas, the ancient images often displayed scenes of animal wildlife and intrepid expeditions involving hunter gatherers. Primordial graffiti regularly displayed declarations of love, political expressions, and philosophical musings. Researching the ancient form of artistry has helped us gain a deeper understanding of the lifestyles and languages embraced by past cultures.

Graffiti has become a bone of contention, the word alone conjures up many different questions - is it artistic expression or mere vandalism? In the past, has it contributed to urban decay or is it a by-product of social disquiet?

New York City is often labelled the birthplace of contemporary graffiti, an artistic element that is principally associated with the eruption of inner-city gangs. The Bronx, Washington Heights and other deprived areas within the city were the melting pots of this creativity. The younger generation, rebellious and vociferous, clamoured territorial possession, and this desire was initially met through stylized signatures of names, known as tags.

The swinging 60s was a time of liberation and free thinking; political activists began using graffiti as an innovative form of expression, and gangs such as the Savage Skulls, La Familia, and Savage Nomads used it to mark territory.

A decade later, and these pioneers were joined by artists like Dondi, Zephyr and Lady Pink, people who realized the enormous potential of graffiti as an expressive art. By the mid 1970s, most principles in graffiti writing and culture had been firmly set. Most notably, during this time, “top-to-bottom” displays progressed in complexity, now taking up complete subway cars.

Branching out from a somewhat singular, individualistic style, graffiti quickly became competitive; artists began to enter subway yards all in the hope of “hitting” as many trains as possible, often opting to create elaborate displays along the subway car sides. Largely due to the number of competing artists, tagging quickly began to take on its literal meaning, as individuals and groups needed a way to separate themselves from the proverbial herd. Towards the end of the 70s, rather notably, the MTA (Metro Transit Authority) decided to take on this surge in creative expression, mainly by repairing yard fences and vigorously removing graffiti whenever possible.

Working with Oil Pastels

Working with Oil Pastels

Oil Pastels are one of a few versitile art supplies you can ever work with. Just about any medium intended for use with oil painting will work well with oil pastels. You can get similar effects of oil paintings using oil pastels on canvas or illustration hardboard.

Making Marks
Expressive strokes, scumbling, hatching, drawing and blended smooth passages are all possible using oil pastels dry.Sketching using Oil Pastels
Begin with sketching a drawing on sanded pastel paper, watercolor paper, illustration hardboard or your choice of surface.

Underpainting
Underpainting is also a useful technique with oil pastels. Adding a flat underpainting  or wash under different areas eliminates the white flecks from white paper and creates a much more richer color.

Blending
Palettes or the page can be used to mix oil pastels. Blend them together to create smooth gradients.

Wet Effects
Watersoluble oil pastels can create various opaque and transparent wet effects buy adding plain water. Heavier applications can be smoothed with a blend or wash.

Photo-Realistic Tattoo Artist Gabriel Ayala

Photo-Realistic Tattoo Artist Gabriel Ayala

Sketching a human face on paper is one thing, but tattooing it into skin is a whole different beast. A simple slip of the hand, or one shade too many can ruin the photo realistic quality of a human portrait. Ayala learned the tricks of that tedious trade after years of practice and can tattoo a portrait with eyes that appear to be watching you and properly shade the human facial curves so many tattoo artists fear.

Gabriel Ayala's amazing skill of art is an inspiration to many and so is his life story. Ayala was only 14 years old when he first starting tattooing with a sloppy homemade tattoo gun. Tattooing with a homemade tattoo gun is kind of like trying to draw with a pencil with a fractured tip but that didn't stop Ayala from learning how to shoot the straight, crisp lines he is known for.

Photo Realistic Art by David Arredondo

Photo Realistic Art by David Arredondo

Photorealism is a form of painting which the artist, aka Photo realists, uses a variety of tools to achieve an almost photo like outcome of art. As a photorealism artist I began creating realistic art as a kid without fully understanding its true significance. I recall drawing portraits of  photographs off my favorite magazines and including detail from my imagination to ensure that my paintings were indeed original. My choice of art tools were, and still are, oil based color pencils and oil pastels. As I progressed in my art talent, so did the realism of my paintings. I would spend weeks, if not months fine pointing every detail of my paintings. I have always been obsessed with perfection and detail. Even the slightest imperfection would cause me to destroy my painting and start from scratch until I achieved the perfection I want. As the years passed I was able to afford a much better quality set of art tools. I currently use a professional grade Canon camera to photograph people in a variety of poses. I want each of  my paintings to express a theme of  importance and significance.

Artist Perception:  Sculptures of the Early Embryonic Stages of the Animal Kingdom

These five ceramic sculptures represent the early embryonic stages of the animal kingdom. Some similarities between each other are visible at the beginning, as they start developing their own unique characteristics reinforcing the idea that organisms evolved from a common ancestor. My artistic intent is to make something meaningful that can make me understand the process of life. For this reason, I have created five pieces which involves a fish, amphibian, bird, reptile and a mammal. By creating such pieces which involves the metamorphosis of embryos in different stages of animals gives me the opportunity to evolve the process with clay.

Fluff Does Not Equal Buff...Usually

Fluff Does Not Equal Buff...Usually

This would be to the bewildered of the planet, Dear Bewildered,  The bad weather has driven me to reflection and pondering, which in turn has sent me to my under-ground laboratory, where I conduct my experiments and usually emerge with some kind of amazing invention.  Sometimes this can take as long as thirty minutes (you have to be patient).  In trying to create jobs for the stimulus package..... for fluffy people ( I don't use unpolitically correct adjectives ) I realized other than speed bumps what could they do?  Then I realized I needed to create a diet that would de-fluffitize them.  Everyone knows diets don't work unless you unbelievable will power like myself.  So, I did the obvious, I started to develop a diet that makes you grow then the fluff will spread out and nobody will be fluffy anymore.  Within 20 or 30 minutes I called all the science magazines and journals so they could see for themselves the first guy I used grew an astonishing 4 inches in an hour, he went from 36 to a 40 inch waist.  I wasn't discouraged I went right back down there and re-arranged some chromo-zones on one of my other subjects, the scientists had to completely re-name a species, so get used to calling them the 2 Inch Worm.  So far the only thing my experiments work on are things that crawl..........please contact me if you qualify...........as per usual helping the helpless....bs

I realize I've left a little "wiggle" room so you can think I'm talking about everyone else, not you. It is a cold and rainy day here in SoCal, the type of day that produces reflection.  I've had thousands, ok, possibly fewer ask me what have I've learned over the years, what can I pass along to those in the quest of greater knowledge, so here are the most important things I've learned.

HEART OF ART    PRIMITIVE:     WHOSE TATTOOS?

Wayyyyy before man started painting on things; he used his body parts to portray his history, his emotions, religion and his culture. Ancient artists used berry juices, plant extracts and fish extracts, anything that had color, to create the palate for their body art. Who knows what tools they used to implant  the ink in the skin. I bet that really hurt! Took real guts then too, to get "marked"!
