Some recent work

This piece is a conceptual opposition to artist Lari Pittman. It portrays capitalist propaganda and ideas of American homogeneity -- two things Pittman is strongly against. On the other hand, I appropriated his style of decoration and embellishment.

And by "she," I mean Leigh Salgado.

Finally

I've wanted to begin a website for quite a while but haven't found the motivation. My excuse to do it finally came when it became an assignment for my New Media class. Maybe one day I'll learn the mysteries of dreamweaver, until then, thanks google. check it out.

Refresher on the Art Front...

As I stated in my inaugural blog post, my current artistic concentration is a focus on the political and cultural situation in Kashmir. Right now, I am doing chiefly portraiture of the inhabitants of the region, focusing on color to illustrate the "fabric" of this culture. Hopefully I will shift gears a little deeper into this topic, focusing on the Hindu - Muslim cultural conflict. Recently I learned about the Line of Control (or LoC) that divides Kashmir between Pakistan and India. This line is the reason for this 80 year clash. Depending on what thoughts wander to mind, I want to use line work to navigate around the idea of this cultural and political boundary. More is soon to come.

Earlier Endeavors (Cont'd)...

Earlier in the summer, I had to find projects to occupy my mind... This is my entry for the Milo skate deck art contest -- it was the first time i experimented with glazes and paper layering with paint. I guess it paid off -- now I can afford my Holden for the year. Thanks Milo.
