1st Art Project--Paul Kennarly Homage

Those white lines in the negative space are more visible in vector format. Some weird things happened when I rasterized to form an internet compatible Jpeg.  

Silk Screening

I've been really into printmaking lately, especially silk screen. A lot of silk screen artists play with very simple geometric forms and bold colors. I kinda want to build one but I don't have any time. Anyway, here are four cool silk screen artists:

Rudolf Boelee

My, that is a nice looking tea cup. 

Mirjam Dijkama

I've been study Bauhuas type design lately and this poster definitely plays around with type.

Alex Zanda

I tried something like this in printmaking and it didn't turn out anywhere near as well.

Mark Smith

These prints make me miss spending nights with my hands full of ink in the printmaking room...

Gimme Some Salt

Motoi Yamamoto is an artist that makes elaborate labyrinths on the ground using nothing but salt. He doesn't use any glue, and his installations aren't permanent. they're painstakingly crafted using nothing but a frosting bag to dispense the salt. His largest works have used an estimated 2,200 pounds of salt--which begs the question, why would anyone do this? Well, as it turns out, the salt labyrinths are a testament to his sister, who passed away from cancer. In Japan, salt is a symbol of purity and mourning, and his work is a way of glorifying her existence, and helping her to live on for eternity. when the installation is finished, all the salt gets dumped into ocean, along with the spirit of his sister.
