It's been a long time coming. Time to post again and how about a new font? Life has been full of art lately. In between drawing traditional Chinese ink drawings, drawing naked models, working on my surveillance photography project and taking a midterm on art history I found time to visit museums in both San Francisco and L.A. In September my art excursions class went to the De Young to see Dale Chihuly's show and the SFMOMA to see the Frida Kahlo show. Both shows were insanely crowded but worth the pushing through masses of people. I found it interesting that many of Kahlo's work was painted on peices of tin. Maybe that's what gives them the glowing effect.
Just this last Friday, we went to L.A. to visit the Getty and the Culver City gallery district. The Getty, although it's in an amazing location and has beautiful gardens, does not have the best collection. It was still a blast to be there and there were some pieces that stood out, especially in the humor in drawing exhibition. The Culver City gallery district was the most interesting stop of the day. There are about thirty galleries in a four block radius, which from the outside, all appear to be worn down warehouses.
