The Silent Pill(reprogramming)

Television has long been nick named "The Idiot box" by generations before me. They kill motivation, inspiration(for the most part) and only wish to drain you of critical thinking and and self thought. The messages on most programs is one of depression, sadness, and an underlying of demoralization. Without even thinking about it you waste hours in front of it, while it tells you how to think, what to think, and even WHEN to think. Turn it off! Go outside and put your feet in the grass and your head to the sun, feel the cool breeze on a sunny spring afternoon, go to a park and sketch. The message here is simple, take something that normally is so loud about NOTHING positive, and give it a twist. A ninja is silent in what he does, and normally can not be seen as he is the stealthiest of the kung fu/martial art disciplines. Without even knowing it, this message is seen and processed on sleepy urban/suburban streets and you are ultimately injected with something of a positive nature. My intention is to get people to think about simply LOVING more, in more ways, and more often!....

GO CREATE!!!!!

Final Moments

Back in December I posted a sketch titled "When Shots Range Out". So while I'm waiting for the weather to cooperate w/me to finish the dresser I decided to make that piece a mini series. This post is The final moments b4 the shots. I think secretly I might wanna become a comicbook artist, what do you think?...lol anywho this is "Final Moments". It is the perspective of the snipers scope right before the shot. I will post one more titled "Aftermath" in a day or so. I am working on it now.

When Shots Range Out...

So those of you who have been following me on FB may have seen some posts here n there about a character I have been developing for the last 4+yrs i call the IdiotBox. Some of the pieces I have done with him have a political message of sorts, some a spiritual, so on n so on. Basically he's like a vessel I have used to get a point across. I'm in the process of branding him to the point that whenever some one sees him they will think of the artist behind him, namely ME! Kinda like when some one sees Garfield or Marmaduke, any way you get the picture. I have been collecting these small pieces of cardboard from work, they are roughly 5.5"x8.5". I do them in a very basic almost stripped down manner. I was inspired to do the first one by a great artist named Mear1 his work is phenomenal. I'll place a link to his website, you should go check out his work. I believe he works out of Los Angeles, but his work has been seen worldwide. Any who I do these small pieces here n there during down times that I have. This latest piece I just finished is titled "When shots range out" it reminds me a lil of a comic book scene, and almost tells its own story. Well Merry Christmas all!!! ENJOY! oh and here's a link to his tumblr account! Mear1 on tumblr

*Basically I start out with these materials and let inspiration kind of take over from there. Something always seems to strike a nerve with me and then the rest kind of lays itself out for me from there...
