Art, thought, and critique by shane. Thursday, December 24, 2009. Again this year, I created a holiday card. And again, it featured a bug-eyed dog (a pug this time). I would have liked to post this earlier and somehow make it available to purchase but figured that would be an unfair spoiler to those who I created this for. If you do want one, we can arrange that! I was listening to A LOT of. While creating the card, so I figured I would throw some on the video. Sunday, December 13, 2009.

Art, thought, and critique by shane. Saturday, January 9, 2010. Synth Britannia is an amazing BBC documentary chronicling the rise of synth music from its experimental dystopian beginnings in the late 70's to the synth pop of the early 80's. There is an incredible amount of behind-the-scenes tales. I found it interesting how progressive and punk-like early synth musicians were. The genre of synth pop grew up alongside me in the 80's and play a crucial role in my views on art still today.

Art, thought, and critique by shane. Sunday, September 26, 2010. With the impending birth of my nephew Q, his parents invited me to create a painting for his room. I was excited at the idea. Here is his room:. Click for larger images. 3 12' x12' collage, acrylic on board. Maybe I should start taking commissions. ;). Bamboo earrings, at least two pair". This started out on a 5' x3' ink drawing. Then, I magically transported it onto the 6' x12' board. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Sunday, September 6, 2009. Old: Welcome To Terror My Love. I started 3 large paintings and finished zero. The concept was to marry stylish images of "beautiful" women with concepts of terror/war. This is the one I came closest to finishing:. Welcome To Terror, My Love". Acrylic and collage on board.

Suzy Smith: About the Artist
http://www.suzysmithart.com/about.asp
In the American Pop-realist tradition, my current body of work portrays idealized nudes as objects of cultural aspiration, juxtaposed against a still life background derived from iconic Pop images. The icing on the cake is the title of the painting. A title might add some whimsy, or a double entendre that completes the piece. I am always pleased when someone views my work, and walks away with a smile on their face.

Art, thought, and critique by shane. Sunday, May 22, 2011. Life in this capitalist spectacle is still not permitting time for me to create much art. I have dabbled in the creation of gifs for fun though.). Whether I am creating art or not, it always inspires me and makes me feel good when friends are. Recently took part in the Modern Fabulists. Show in Bristol, England. The pieces are some of the best I have seen from him. He also had pieces in ArtPadSF. My long lost friend and all-around hilarious guy.
