An industrial construction set…

So I finally hit a spindle of cdrs with photo archives going back as far as 03. After finding a few choice photos, surprising friends on Facebook with images of their younger selves and getting tired of looking through folders, I stumbled upon this one folder.
In my mission to continually bring you something interesting I present to you, a few photos from a series I took on 2004-05-24. These photos are straight from whatever bum Kodak digital camera I was carrying around at the time. Put on your construction hat. NYC scaffolds are known to fall.
Half a work in progress…

I painted at Madame X last night with Jorge. I’m not done. I scanned a little less than half of the painting I worked on. What you see is the bottom portion.

Initially was having some issues, but when I really think about it I actually wasn’t. I’m constantly learning and solving equations as I work. The less I think, the better off I am.
I’m getting in the flow of live painting once again. Seems I’ve been hooked up with a spot to paint during Black August.
I’ll let you see what it looks like when it’s complete.
Mos Definitely… Living My Life
Posted by iAreConscious in Blog, Photography, Visual Stimulation on June 28, 2010
I have so much to share, but have too much of a workload currently to do it like I’d like to. So for now I’m just dropping you a lil note.
Three weeks ago I was going through it. But I knew it would pass. I was sure of it. Even still, regardless of me knowing already what lies ahead, it didn’t make anything that I experienced feel any better during what I would call a tremendous transitional point in my life. I felt the movement in the cosmos. Seriously. I recognized my place in this universe. Sometimes you need to be shaken. Coole High says it better prepares you for the rest of the journey. You appreciate things more when you ‘suffer’ a bit. The probability of your success in whatever it is you do increases I believe, once faced with adversity and over coming it thereafter.
PS: The photo of Mos is just the tip of the iceberg. I have a series that I’m quite happy with and you will see it pretty soon.
PPS: Big Shout to FROactiv, just because…
Blackberry Series: Installment III
Posted by iAreConscious in Blackberry Series, Visual Stimulation on June 17, 2010
This is probably the least creepy looking one of this series of random photos I took today. Self portraits have been a challenge for me in the past. So I made an attempt at being creative whilst sacrificing my arm for a number of shots that required me reaching under, up and around shoe racks. Luckily, I sustained no lasting scars about my wrist and forearm during this ‘mission’ possible.
The following photo in the phone looked amazing. (I’ll have to admit I took two shots. Two things about this series. 1. No cropping or modification allowed. The whole point of this series is to capture and post images sans doctoring, directly to the site. 2. No multiple shots taken to get, that ‘perfect’ shot. it’s just one take like Ed Wood and we’re outta there…)
I took two…
You’re being watched.
So that’s it for now. Perhaps I’ll send you subscribers the more creepy ‘lurker’ shots just because well, you’re subscribers. Membership has it’s privileges. (Like weird photos of me?)

Bonsai War: A crude photo of a new piece…
Posted by iAreConscious in Painting/Mixed Medium, Visual Stimulation on May 11, 2010
Someone please hook me up with an art photographer in NYC, I’m in desperate need of one. I must have slides made and want to get some limited prints of a few pieces done. I took this photo of my newest painting . I created it two weeks ago while having a painting session with my friend Knewdles. Still fetching a title, ‘Bonsai War’ came to mind yesterday and I feel it just might stick. This is acrylic on raw canvas board, with a bit of illustration sketched in with a simple fine point ink pen . There’s a lot of dimension that you can not see due to the crudeness of this photo. So much that I wasn’t going to post it, but I decided to go ahead anyway. I’ll have to confirm today but it’s likely that I will be painting live this coming Saturday. I’m getting back into the groove of it once again. You’ll be seeing more work as the summer approaches. Possibly a show in fall.
Keep your eyes open.
If you’re looking for a nice piece of art specifically for your home, office or studio please let me know. Perhaps I can conjure up a piece for you. I want to offer affordable art to those interested. I feel everyone should be able to have pieces of original art to compliment the vibration they cultivate for their personal spaces as well as spaces they make open to the public.
Blackberry Series: Installment Duex
Posted by iAreConscious in Blackberry Series, Blog, Visual Stimulation on May 6, 2010
Another Blackberry Series Installment. This time I continue with a black and white photo taken in the subway of the platform. I love the lines. Second we have this very rough and gritty pipe. I’m drawn to the contrasting textures and colors. And thirdly, the image is a close up on a painting I started working on last week while having a painting session with my friend, Knewdles…
