President Lincoln revisited

Hello Everyone. I know it's been a few weeks since I wrote my last Blog and I'm glad to finally be doing so. I have been one busy artist person. I was commissioned to do a piece for a Gallery and only had a few days to do it. It was a six foot tall rendition of the Lincoln Memorial. It wasn't supposed to be accurate just indicative. It was hard and not my best but not bad for a few days from start to finish with stringent requirements and lack of sleep. It had to be able to break down into many parts and had to be light as a feather and had to be strong enough to support an adult male. OK now GO! Haha! I figured the best way was with foam and recycled bottles as well as drop clothe dipped into plaster. Each limb was seperate and the head had to be modeled in one day. Well here are some pics. Besides that I've done lots of writing and drawing and spent several days at the MET studying art. I'm going again soon! Well thanks for coming and take care. I look forward to hearing any comments you may have. This is the Purveyor Of Pop saying good day and up up and away!

Purveyor of Pop goes to the Met!

Hello again all! Welcome to my world. I spent some time this past weekend at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I was mesmerized! One of the main paintings I went to see was
The Death of Socrates. 1787 Oil on canvas. 129.5 x 196 cm. by Jacques-Louis David, (French, 1748-1825) . The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA I have been going there since I was around nine or so.



The first painting I ever saw was Guarnica

Guernica by Pablo Picasso 1937 Oil on canvas. Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

at the Museum Of Modern Art (MOMA)in their collection from 1939 until 1981. I was about three feet tall at that time so it was an all encompassing epic scene of gargantuan proportions . At that point I had already been studying drawing and painting for about one or two years in an art school and had seen many prints but never the real thing. Scale was to me a new concept. So now I am on my thirty first year attending the Art museums and I am still so amazed. There have been recent changes at the MET. Just a few years ago they opened the new Greek and Roman exhibit that is made up of many acquisition from about one hundred years ago and thankfully now on display. There have been many pieces taken down and replaced either for the time being or permanently so for anyone who hasn't been there for a few years you must go. The modern wing is showcasing living artists now ranging from figurative to minimalist works. Pop Culture has found a voice there too. Most notably SUPERHEROES Fashion And Fantasy. http://www.metmuseum.org/special/superheroes/index.asp
The Met has done a wonderful job in keeping with the times and still providing great classic works. For all of you who wish to learn. Do it the old fashioned way. Go to study the great masters and then go home and draw and paint and sculpt. What most people dont know is that most great comic book artists have studied fine art or trained with someone who has. Most of Michelangelo's training was on the streets and in the churches and public buildings. You can do it too. "If people knew how hard I work they wouldn't think I was such a genius after all."-Michelangelo
