Santa pictures-artists (NOT)

Of course I am one of the students that live away from my family and christmas break is spent with my now family household, so the perfect gifts for the parents I choose to not go see is pictures of us! The thing I do every year is get pictures with my daughter and santa,. Can I say rip off yes, these people they hire at the mall should at least know how to use a camera and take decent pictures for the $20 a sheet they charge, but no they're complete amateurs. This is why I am glad that the photo booths and old studio set ups in malls are going away (no more picture people) and yes more individual photographers taking some great work for instance Maryn Photography a local photographer! and that is my ending rant for the semester:-)

Cameron Milton- Melted Miltons

Cameron Milton is a local artest located in Pasco Washington. I actually took a picture of his work when me and my Dianna visited The Local in Kennewick, Washington. His work incorporates melted crayon which is really cool. You can check out his work at  http://www.etsy.com/shop/MeltingMiltons

This is my favorite since I'm really involved in advocacy for tribes since this is what my work is based with.

Timothy Bulone

Timothy Bulone's work is very interesting and many of them very appealing. Bulone is located in Long Beach California and uses photography with computer graphics to create appealing pieces of work. I really like his nature pictures the best. http://timothy-bulone.artistwebsites.com/index.html

This piece of Graffiti was made by an up and coming street artist named Jean-Michel Basquiat, I could not find the name of this piece either but would love to find out the name of it.The street art is really coming alive now days.  Jean-Michel has really captured our attention with pieces like this that reveal the good and evils of our society.

This painting was created by Bill Werle.  It is called Great Grey Ghost.  Being from the northwest Bill really learns to capture the essence of the northwest in his work.  He deals primarily with the northwest pure beauty from wilderness to leisure activities very good work I am going to try and find his studio in Spokane next trip there.

This piece is by Colleen Wilcox but I could not find a title if anyone can tell me what it is called that would be awesome. This piece really shows a gentle side of nature.  The flow of everything just comes together and it gives a peaceful feeling to me

allison bratt

This piece is by Allison J. Bratt called African Totem.  I really enjoy the tribal feel and the incorporation of animals into Allison’s work.  I think she could be the next big thing.

swarez

This is a piece by Swarez - green abstract.  The colors and flows of this abstract piece bring attention from many angles.  This would be something I would hang on my wall.
