After Midnight Soul October 28, 2009

After Midnight Soul, is exactly how I should feel but instead I feel like Late Evening Crap, I am acting like a two-year old who does not know its bed time, I am soooo tired, yet fighting the urge to go to bed. Instead I decided to visit Concreteloop.com where I go for my last-ditch [...]

Oh my God, was I not drooling like an idiot when I found Kehinde’s site it is everything I love about art, cool, contemporary, modern and perfect execution! It is the type of art I created this blog to find….. it is just so right.
The poses and expressions, European gentry meets [...]

Justin Bua – Urban Mania April 11, 2007

1981 
I have been extremely lazy recently so blogging is way down my list of priorities, and loafing is, to be honest my day job is taking its pound of flesh. 
Justin Bua’s images are a breath of fresh air, one, because some of the subjects look how I feel “droopy eyed”, but on his subjects this [...]

Mike Thompson – Spraying up a Storm March 8, 2007

Nas for XXL Mag
My toes are a tingling, I am all excited again because I found another hot site, turn your volume down before visiting if you do not appreciate urban riddims.

Jules Arthur – Hypnotic Splendor February 26, 2007

 
Sisters
I can tell how much I like an artist, by the amount of time I spend on their site, in Jules’s case too long, besides his work the site itself is fierce, a beautiful platform to showcase his work, I love elegant design.
His work is hypnotic splendor, his subjects draw you in with their eyes reading your soul and telling [...]

Matt Small – Urban Genius February 17, 2007

Saul
I put my money where my mouth is for a change and bought a  Matt Small piece a screenprint of 19 colours called “Saul” from an edition of 165 prints.
I don’t think I can go wrong with this investment, I just need him to get a rock’n’roll lifestyle or date Tracey Emin, so I can watch my investment [...]

Dream Weaver 
Illustrator, graphic artist, painter, Frank Morrison could also be a fashion designer the diva’s in his soul sister collection are well attired, some in ethnic prints and all immaculately coiffured. You can see from his art he has a real appreciation for a black woman’s form and a great sense of humour. 

He started off as a graffiti [...]

Conor Harrington – I Love The Irish February 10, 2007

Of Misfits and Kings 2006
I will own a piece of art by this guy, even if I have to sell my partner to get it (no blood relation).
Fine arts, meets brooding, meets colour and invites graffiti along for the ride.
I find all that Banksy stuff simply put, bullocks, cartoon rats, humph, and to add insult to injury if [...]
