Hello, all! I am back with another post after a good while! It’s been a while since I posted an art analysis, so here we go! I hope you will enjoy the read and the insight! “Upwards” (or “Upwards I”). Digital photograph. 2017. “Upwards in Neutral” (or “Upwards II”). Digital photograph. 2017. WHAT: This is a partial shot of a convention center in my town. The color shot is the original shot and…

TALENT AT TAPP’S: i am participating in a unique, cultural event
Hello, all! While I have been creating new works (which I will post about), attending some events (which I will post about) and basically going through the throes of life (some good, some annoying), I have tried to publish new posts once in a while until I get back into the full swing of posting to my blog as I once did (I do want to get back to regularly posting; I used to post about every 2 or…
(via BUSY-NESS AND BUSINESS CARDS: finally back with a new post!)
Please read the post and view more images (my business card designs) at my Wordpress post. Thank you! (By the way, the images shown here show my business card which I designed!)
Hello, peoples (I added that ‘s’ on purpose; bad grammar is fun but only when it is humorously on purpose, in any other case bad grammar is sad). I am back with a new post after 50,000 years. Well, not that long of course, but long enough! As any blogger will tell you, the absence is due to a combination of things. My combination is: being busy, being not-feeling-like-posting, being a…
One of the few times I reblog (since I try to stick to the arts subject of my blog page).
It is ALWAYS the time to talk about gun control.
I know I usually post about the visual arts here, but the following was on my mind:
Love is a sacred art. The love between a man and a woman is sacred. It is what God has created. The harmony of opposites working together; their different attributes working together to create a balance. Male and female. That is order. That is union. That is beautiful. I am just keeping it real. If you don’t agree with what I’ve written here, well then I pray you one day will. If you are a man, then you are a king and you should meet your queen. If you are a woman, then you are a queen and you should meet your king. 👑 👑

Looking for a new digital camera. I may be getting into more photography jobs through freelance. My last camera (a GE X5) was a birthday gift 🎁 and took beautiful photos; lasted a few years but now even with new batteries it doesn’t power on. I think my camera went into Digital Death; the land of device rest. Now if for some reason it can be gotten to work, again, then high-five! ✋ I’d still get new camera, though.
I believe I’ll get a Canon or a Nikon. Gotta dig pretty deep in the pockets for one of those, but it’ll be worth it. 💸📷💸 Good investment. We artists dream about art supplies and tools. I don’t know what I stare at more…a good looking guy or a drawing kit full of charcoals and graphites. ✏✏

HE IS VICTORIOUS: because of Christ’s victory, we do not have to be victims
Today is Resurrection Day, a time that recognizes the day Christ rose with all power in his hands! Many people are also now referring to this day as Resurrection Day. I do as well. More people are realizing that term “Easter” has nothing to do with the recognition of Christ’s resurrection. Easter is actually a pagan worship of a false goddess (the word “Easter” stems from her name). The goddess…
PLEASE CLICK WORDPRESS LINK TO READ FULL POST! THANK YOU!Hey, everyone. I am hoping you are well, safe and enjoying some art or something cultural, lately. Right now as I type, it is April 5th, Wednesday (so when I actually PUBLISH this post it will be Thursday because I want to post it early, right now it is too late on Wednesday; I do not like posting too late). It’s been a while since I’ve done an artwork analysis. Right now it is also raining…
I needed an official artist photo for some online endeavors, so I shot this selfie (I hate that word) a few years ago before moving to Jacksonville, FL the next year (2012). Wow, how the time goes (miraculously I look about the same, thank God). I miss Jacksonville. If you’ve never been there, GO! It’s one of the best places. I lived in a suburban area that was in the middle: 30-40 min. from the beach one way and 20 min. from downtown the other way.
Hi! Just a quick post about three works that are unfinished. I have so many ideas in my head that need to accomplished and lately I have had a big creative surge; like an art rocket has been strapped to me and is propelling me forward. Ha! That was pretty poetic, amirite??
TOP LEFT PHOTO: Graphite on paper.
I started this a while back and it is PAST time for it to be done! I have a lot of background work to do and color work. This one may take longer than the other two to finish. Can you guess who this is? Hint: he’s in a game people love, great at climbing, hunts and steals treasure, is about to have his story made into a film (FINALLY) and often says, “Oh, crap!!” and also, “Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!!”
TOP RIGHT PHOTO: Mixed media on paper.
This is a new work partly inspired by awesome artworks I’ve seen by artists displaying their pieces on Instagram. I wanted to design a low-poly background. Originally I was going to show her complete face, but I did not like something about the right side (your left) of her face, so I decided to cover that portion of her face with low-poly structures. So now it’s got a post-modern look. In the art world, low-poly is hugely popular, now! Low-poly is so popular, now, that if low-poly was a girl it would probably get more boyfriends than Taylor Swift does. I have to finish adding more poly forms, more work to the hair (which is stylized in some areas with decorative line work) and color, then I’ll be finished.
BOTTOM PHOTO: Graphite on paper.
This is a mock logo for New Orleans. The city is not changing its logo, but this is my imagining of a new logo. The main symbol of NOLA is the fleur de lis. Behind that are the petals and leaves off the magnolia, which is Louisiana’s state flower. The acronym “NOLA” I have designed to be similar to the magnolia’s petals. This visual relation helps to bind the image together. I have to add color next and it should be done!
I will of course post the finished works! Thank you for reading!

Found this image and sharing it.
Whether angry (which can be epic hard to hold in at times) or sad, prayer and art calm me down. Puts me in a better state of mind.
When I’m happy, prayer and art confirms my happiness!

Low-poly art blending with realism. I wanted to try something very quirky (though, I am not new to quirky). Also, I disliked a part of the face (it was ugly!), so covering it up with poly structures seemed the way to solve that issue!
