Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Art pieces such as paintings and sculpture, that have been made in recent years is often called modern art.  The artist Philip Gray is a excellent example of one of today’s modern artist.  Prized art pieces and prints are now being placed above the mantle piece in everyday homes rather than big private estates.  The use of experimental fabrics and new painting methods has made contemporary art become more important and relevant in every one’s lives.  These factors combined with increased television and newspaper coverage of art events such as the Turner Prize have helped drive the rise of contemporary art.  Acknowledged artists such as Philip Gray have always managed to tread the thin line between being a household name and receiving critical acclaim.  Artists with a tiny number of fans have created a fan base by selling authenticated prints of their art work.  Philip Gray prints are very popular and helped the artist to gain critical acknowledgement.

My mom’s Marilyn Monroe Prints

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

There is one thing that I have been embarrassed about since I was a little girl. My mom has all of the Marilyn Monroe Prints and is totally obsessed with her. She has about ten pictures of her in every room of the house. She even bought me bed sheets of her face on it when I was a little kid. She has wanted me to share in her obsession probably since I was born. I would not be surprised if I had baby clothes with her face on them and a mobile over my crib with little Marilyn’s hanging from it. I guess maybe I can give it a try.

Ares Is For Us

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I have tried many file sharing programs only to be disappointed when they either were taken away from me or suddenly started wanting to charging me for sharing tunes that I had already paid for.  This was frustrating and from the rumors I heard I was never sure if someone was going to come after me and make me pay for the tunes I had borrowed from my friends on the network. Then I found ares. This program really works and it was not set up to line the pockets of large corporations  but to do a service to the rest of us.

Drawing a sunset with display easels

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Sunsets are a lot easier to draw with some display easels. Having display easels on hand let you sort out the pictures and develop each phase of the image individually. I would recommend lining them up in groups of two and using no more than three colors. If you use water paint, you can expand to four total colors. Lots of imagination is required to produce vivid art works like Leonardo. One tip is to take private lessons and carefully research your painting technique. Display easels help you get there by holding up your art work to study all night long.

A Musical Dream

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Both of my parents are very musical. My childhood is full of memories of my mom and dad playing the piano and trumpet together in church. Hearing my parents practice on a regular basis encouraged me to pick up an instrument. The only instrument I had a desire to play was the guitar. After seeing Green Day play in 1994 I knew that the guitar was right for me. Over the next few years I spent hours practicing and reading guitar forums. I’m now currently playing in a punk band that travels North America. Music has given me so many cool opportunities.

If anyone has a head start on the competition, it’s Orange County photographers.  They know what it takes to be all that a photographer needs to be because they already live in one of the most beautiful areas around Los Angeles.  Knowing what pictures to take and what really is photo ready is the key to being a great photographer.  There are many people who take pictures, but being an artist at the craft of the camera is something at which not very many people become experts.  The key to photography success is having a mind that sees photos before they’re taken.
