My Fave Artist of the Moment

This guy is pretty good. And he dresses like a pirate. (And yes, I believe he's been doing it a long time before the POTC movies...) He's really cool to meet in person. I have one print from him on my wall, I've been meaning to buy more...

This isn't the one I own. He dedicated it to his young daughter, using a concept from Don Quiote:

I've written a couple MySpace blogs about artsy stuff. I like everything from classics to comic books. I even went to school for graphic art design... a degree I have no current intention of using....

Besides being one that loves Thomas Kinkade (I have a couple of his paintings) and Carl Valante I truly love photography. I love black and whites or sepia tones (that vintage tan look). Most of the pics in my house are ones I took of my kids. Not really the posed one but the ones you catch off guard - to capture that moment. Like I said I have some very expensive Thomas Kinkade's but my all time favorite pic is this one:

Yeah - ok a mom moment - my boys (taken 5 yrs ago while hiking)! I had that blown up, matted and framed. Below it I had written "Of all the blessings that time & earth bestow, There is none so precious as brothers..."

See I'm one who love photos that are personal.  I love walking into a house and not really seeing all the commercial art but a persons personal photographs that have some sorta meaning or some story behind it. 

But if you want a site you can get some beautiful art at and great prices here is another site to check out: http://www.art.com/

 My fave will always and forever be M. C. Escher... but I've got a softspot for Julian Beever who does those pavement chalk drawings like http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/dungeon.html ...
