CREATIVE
08/28/21 — Salt Lake City, Utah, was the place to be for Willy’s Garage annual VIP party, car show, and airbrush art exhibit. Saturday, hot rod enthusiasts, custom painters, airbrush artists, pinheads, and car fans of every variety came together to celebrate the art and love of the automobile.
Immersive Entertainment and Events! I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the all-new AREA15 Immersive Entertainment & Events Complex in Las Vegas, located at 36° 07′ 55″ N, 115° 10′ 50″ W (3215 South Rancho Dr, Las Vegas, NV).
I love metal art. I enjoy creating it, and I rejoice in the finished pieces. They are dynamic and fun and bring a lot of visual elements into the art-viewing experience that can’t be found in canvas paintings or other traditional mediums.
It’s a New Year. And with that comes a Renewed Vision. For me, that is all about art. After all, art is my passion, so almost everything I think and dream about is about art in one way or another, and the possibility of a brighter creative future.
Beauty inspires me. I’m pretty sure I’ve posted on that a time or two. And I know I’ve declared as well that if I ever found anything more beautiful than beautiful women, that I would paint that.
Embrace love. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, here are a few ways to create a more romantic space that invites intimacy.
There is an old adage that says things happen for a reason.
If there ever was a time when life took a big turn, this year was that for me. I would have to say that 2013 will always be remembered as a year of change for me. Some things for the better, others not so much. But that’s the same for all of us, I suppose. As my friend Frank likes to remind me, “Life is a never-ending series of temporary events.”
I was out earlier and someone wished me a “Season’s Greetings.” It was the first time this year that I’ve heard holiday cheers as we transition into cooler months and shorter days. I love this time of year. It’s a festive season ~ all about gratitude, blessing, and remembering the ones we love.
For many of us, this was a fun-filled and interesting year. Memorable for sure. I know it was for me. That may be why 2012 was (and still is) such a creative year. I started mine off creatively and am wrapping it up in like fashion. It’s all about art.
I find the creation of abstract artworks to be exhilarating and stimulating. My power-ground metal and hand-scribed Orbs create dynamic illusions in this contemporary art form.
