I don't take my art too seriously because I don't take myself all that seriously. I like to have fun, and I think my art reflects what I like, what I see, and how I view the world.

Winnipeg Artists: Feature

Journal Entry: Sun Apr 26, 2009, 5:34 PM
Winnipeg is famous for a few things as Manitoba's capital. We have the world's coolest floodway (actually it has the record for the most earth dug for a single purpose - to save the city from annual flooding). Last winter we broke the world record for the world's longest skating chain (which I was a part of). And we are the murder capital of the country, too (per capita) - but these silly things pale in comparison to what I'm about to show you:

Here are a few people I watch that are from my city. I think Winnipeg has the higest rate of awesome artists in the world, per capita. I tried to find a few examples to give you an idea of the body of their work, but some people are so multi-talented that I didn't really get in everything I should have. I recommend if you like what you see, to give them a closer look!

:iconamayana: I met her in my frist year fundamentals of drawing class. She was interesting and funny, and her art always had an amusing theme, yet you just didn't expect it from her.


:iconcuntracula: I met her in my second year advanced drawing 1 class. Her art immediately attracted me with its clever plot twists and amazing technical skill. And who can resist morbid, yet hilarious sketchbook comics?! I can't.


:icongearotter: My cousin, who is a special cousin as our moms are twins and our dads are cousins (true and yet totally legal and not weird at all, just coincidental!) She is the embodiment of weird in a good way. When we were kids, we used to draw detailed designs of waterslides and then show eachother exactly what would happen when you went down (or up, in some cases, or sideways, or multi-dimensional maybe too. We never really knew).
I never tire of her art, and it just keeps getting better and better.


:iconharvey-birdman: I haven't met him so there isn't much I can say, other than that I am always impressed by his panoramas of Winnipeg and I love spotting the parts of the city I recognise.


:iconnexusmind: He is the kind of person I always wish I knew where they get inspiration from. I would probably be inclined to say archaeological field guides and textbooks, reflected by new age styles and techniques. I haven't met him either, but he seems like a person one would never tire of hearing in conversation.


:iconraigh: Rai is awesome. She's a brother from another mother, in sister form. One of my oldest and dearest friends, I always love her art because it's so.... her. It's hard to describe it until you meet her, but then, once you understand, you're like, "Ahh. I understand and am at peace with the whole world." And then you implode into a being of pure energy. You can't really understand until you've seen the stuff she HASN'T uploaded to dA.


:iconthecoryist: Our friendship is kind of interesting, because we have only hung out like once on purpose and once by accident. And the first time we hung out was around 2001, and the second time we hung out was just a week ago when we saw eachother at a pub. Other than that, we've kept in touch over livejournal and facebook. Funny, really. At any rate, I didn't even know he liked photography until I checked his work on livejournal!

Love your stuff =)
I've kinda run round it all throwing comments at everything... lol
*watches*

(that actually sounds pretty creepy lol)
Hey dude, how do i get more people to look at my junk on here?
The key is to go and comment on other people's stuff as much as you can, that way more traffic will end up coming to you! I'm not a huge commenter, so it took years to build up any kind of friend connection. Majority of my pageviews are from Daily Devs... which you get when people suggest your work to the gallery director of whatever gallery your works are in.

If I can stop being so lazy, I want to make a features journal and feature a bunch of people that I like. But I guess I'd better do that before my subscription runs out. And I don't get much traffic to my journals anywayyy...
:iconfailplz1::iconfailplz2: THANK YOU FOR THE :+fav: dear!!! :iconsoftglompplz:
