Openings June 4th: Black Light Art Experiment and JoKa's Solo Show

Two very interesting shows open this weekend. The first is the UV Urban Black Light Art Experiment where artists have all painted works with fluorescent paints that react to black lights featuring works from Peter Krsko, Mike Ciccotello, Joe Iurato, Josl, Luv 1, Aja Washington, Jim Hancocks and PaperMonster. I created several pieces for this and I don't even know how they will look like so I am super excited to see the entire collection. For more info check the flyer below. The second show you should catch is a solo show by JoKa where he has created a series of portraits slightly larger than a penny all created using toothpicks as a brush! You have to see it to believe the detail in these small miniatures. Check out more details below:

INSPIRATION: Pose2/Mr. Max Moses

--------------------------

As artists we all are fans or look up to certain people/artists as role models or great friends. We obtain inspiration from words, music, and our visual surroundings. Through each painting we learn and grow and feed off each others creativity. Certain people make you want to push further and take your work to that next level and for me Pose2 (Mr. Max Moses) is one of the many artists that has had a major impact on my art and my drive to continue to paint. Check out this fantastic video below on Pose2. He really breaks it down at that 15min mark. Enjoy
