And then I got "friended" by an artist whose work I admire
After striking out with my nieces and nephews a couple of weekends ago, I went out and joined Facebook. At the time, I thought it become a grasping for my lost teens, however once I were given my profile up and strolling I got the bum's rush from all forms of people from my beyond. People my age even. Amazing. It's actually neat to the touch base with human beings from my newspaper days in Pittsburgh, my wild days as a vagabond or maybe people I knew in High School. And whilst all of those human beings are hiking out of my beyond, all of my nieces and nephews and current are in there too. I've moved around a piece in my day and it's an outstanding component to peer all of those humans who have recognized me at diverse ranges of my life all arrayed in one region. Check it out.
Well on or about day two I ran into Portland, OR-based totally artist Matte Stephens, whose work I profiled in a blog access on eleven July, Great rooms deserve excellent art. Matte's paintings is gaining greater interest inside the artwork and layout world and he still sells prints of his work via Etsy. His Etsy store is called Braniac: the Art of Matte Stephens. I love this guy's stuff as much now as I did once I first have become aware about him remaining spring.
There's a playfulness to his work that honestly appeals to me, however it's working on an grownup stage. There's a studied whimsy and a experience of adventurous pleasure to his art work, and he is taking his easy shapes and spins a story that simply attracts me in. Really, I could observe this stuff for hours.
So pop on over to Matte's keep on Etsy and spot the relaxation of his paintings there. It's a notable manner to spend a while and to spend some cash. The man's going locations, consider me.
