Today, the world swallowed me whole

9/17/2018

 
Time to start making my affirmation mirrors. The idea is sandblasting the edges of a round mirror with, “You are kind- You are loved- You are beautiful”. I don’t know if the idea would be lucrative, because I’d just want to give them away to people.

Touring the LA art scene

9/8/2018

 
This summer I took a trip to LA with the sole purpose to stand in the shadows of some amazing artwork.

Hit the Getty Villa, the Getty museum and the Broad. In a dream like state, I toured antiquities from the Villa, studied the brush strokes of Van Gogh, Monet and Franz von Stuck at the Getty museum.

Then, took a quick walk around the Broad. The Broad has more contemporary works by Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Koons. One of my favorite pieces was a completely unexpected painting by John Baldesssari, “Tips for artists Who Want To Sell”. Totally hilarious!

Thank you Brian.... Now the pictures! (The last two are marble sculptures by Rodin and Canova.
