these artists were creating their art in front of hundreds of people:observers.
critics.
potential buyers.
lovers.
haters.
friends.
strangers.
fellow artists.
i went to southern exposure's annual monster drawing rally on friday night and thoroughly enjoyed time spent there. two things struck me: 1\the artists' courage and vulnerability and 2\the eclectic monotony of hipster culture.
inspired.
definitely inspired.
why? b/c one of my goals/hopes for 2009 is to have a small photography show. i even have a venue in mind. it's the local philz coffee that opened up a few blocks from my house. i met phil a short while ago, and he has a wall where he features artists' work.
i suppose this means i should probably start working on something, right? ... . ... ..
i hope i have enough courage to be like the hipster artists i saw lay our pieces of their hearts on friday night.

Ooh nice pics. But you did not capture the most inspiring moment - which was inhaling tacos and burrito at the taco truck outside.

ReplyDeleteI love all three - but I am particularly drawn to the top one. It's like a reverse horizon perspective where we (the viewer) are the horizon line and the artist is coming towards us with his creation. I felt expectant and excited to see what would flow out towards me. And now I will be a loyal patron of Philz. : )
