Gino

Gino and I are meeting on Monday to discuss my art at entourage, lets see what happens. As for now I have almost completed my second sculpture of "Graduated Grafitti" and will be moving on to my third shortly. I will post a picture tomorrow.

Gotta Get Work

My parents say that every month this summer working full time I'll make around $1200, my dad says that every $1000 dollars I make from art I don't have to work a week. Lets get sellin'! Im going to see Gino tomorrow.

Its a no go

Looks like I won't be exhibiting in Orinda, My art really isn't synonymous with the gallery's style. But I'm not sweating it failure leads to success. I'm looking to exhibit somewhere else in Orinda, Entourage a local hair salon owned by a man named Gino exhibits fantastic art that sells.

Graduated Graffiti (a series)

Today I came close to fifty percent on my new sculpture for Graduated Graffiti. Today After school I will be talking to Allison Mccrady Local art Gallery owner about exhibiting, although I don't know if it will work out because her gallery is comprised almost entirely of french impressionist art. But I will update this blog about that later today. As for now here is my sculpture.

Sketches

Yesterday I did this sketch. Most likely inspired by Matt Furie, who I found on fecalface.com home of a great many bay area artists. Check it out at fecalface.com Yesterday I emailed a gallery in Orinda and am currently waiting for a response back, lets see what happens. My sketch is the one below Matt's.

Professional

As I venture towards the professional world of art I will start to make one essential separation, salary. As a seventeen year old in high school I haven't really sold any art at all, except for a drawing I sold to my dad for $10.00 all of my art has been given away or stored in my portfolio bag. It's time to make a monetary change and find a gallery. Luckily I am blessed to live in the bay area home of a great many artists so hopefully I will be able to find a place to show, but this wont come easily. So I have started a new series in hope of finding a gallery to display it. Here is a picture of my greenware (not fired in the kiln.) This series is really a contemplation of the growing acceptance of street artists in the art world.
