Miles Frode's 15th Weekly Art Blog!
from February 24th -
Today Tuesday March 3rd
Still rolling almost completely non-Dominant handed.
Lefty
Since I saw you last.. I hung fliers for My Art and Hip-hop shows,
(for 4 days or so I've had art up in 7different overlapping ARTSHOWS!) I
changed/updated the flier to include a new show I'm part of at Talent City Hall
Thanks to New Amazing Artist Friend, Peter Van Fleet
Photos of my City Hall Piece below todays one try Freestyle Video Featured
I teach and believe in the creative benefits of "throwing oneself under the bus right off the start
please enjoy the 3 minutes or so of PURELY improvisational techniques recorded TODAY 3/3/2015
Having arrived the City Hall today to get photos to share,
I walk in and directly up to the young woman at the counter…(It only seamed right this being an establishment of some kind and with a real local human person at the helm!) I told her I'm here to admire the art show... and told her I'm actually one of the artists and asked her if she could guess what piece was mine.
She did!
T.J was right:)
I'd "Started" this piece last Tuesday night…
I'm treating the word STARTED with quotes like i am
because the white is gesso and the yellow was thrown in to exercise the unnoticed abundance
of art that can't be stopped…the gifts when rolling with the punches… the wisdom when bending …
Ever since patron and friend Rich Whynkoop spoke to the beauty of simplicities i've been working to see how important things are AS i work with, add, and dance with the momentary dynamic's of the ART and ARTISTS union.
Like a Master Calligrapher's, who's every line is a bold fragment of a masterpiece
THIS PAINTING BELOW WAS JUST THE START…
BUT I SEE/SAW IT'S PERFECT.
(Thats why i sgraffito /scratch signed it)
As i continue to look at and sit with the yellow piece i feel it horizontal..
but i know that only means what it means till it's become something else
Below is a piece i also felt the need to confuse, obfuscate and add to last tuesday
added to it again over the last week
This is where it is for now
A lill' collage of mine.
Of the earlier stage appreciatabilities:)
or just too big..i don't recall but it's not a rarity with me.. But i't NEVER holds me back!
I just saved it till i had some raw canvas…and BAM!
epic over 2inch wide hand streched Canvas
…
..sorry i was getting exited!
background music n whatnot.
Nothing is ever exactly what we can imagine it to be.
From there down
with the anchors of change
we all become freestyle artists of some caliber, degree and dimension
These times we allow ourselves to "Talk ourselves into corners…
and talk our ways out"
Or paint or draw ourselves into corner's or under buss with what we do
these times are telling of our topographically discernible emotional landscapes
how the difficulties and inevitable successes rain on our feeling's and memories
these placeless places we as "Artists" speak to
This morning I was thinking about
2 men saying they're divers….
and realizing that is a lot like 2 people saying there "Artists"
Deep sea SCUBA DIVING would require scuba suit's and tanks of air
and would seam to be about what's under the water….the deeper the better.
And what is just called DIVING…
is all about what's done between the water and the moment a diver leaps from a diving board…
Yes both are divers…
We are all artist
in some way
in the sense that we all find things we do LOVE to do passionately!
As i sign off i urge you give yourselves the gift/lesson
to take time to "do the wrong thing ON PUREPOSE!" or say the opposite thing you have planned in you'r freestyle…and ROLL WITH IT to somewhere awesome and NEW!
and think about the classic
What,Where, When, WHY AND HOW.
How and why someone does something can show you great depth
in Emotional areas.
As always, "MAY THE MUSE BE WITH YOU!"
