Barry E. Wilson

Mr. Wilson is my printmaking teacher and someone I look up to. He deserves way more respect than he receives. I don’t think people realize that he IS an artist and he knows what he’s talking about. So everyone needs to grow up and take Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Hogue, Mr. Tran, Mrs. Walcavich, and Mrs. Lynch seriously.

Anyway, most of Mr. Wilson’s pieces are beautiful multi-colored relief prints that fit into 3 main themes: Animals & Flowers, “Deluxe Merchandise,” and “Blue Jay Opuscule.”  He has been teaching at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts for the past 17 years and has been inspiring me as an artist for the past 3 years and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

Gustav Klimt

ALL TIME FAVORITE

second favorite

I think I saw Gustav Klimt references in an anime that I’ve watched called Elfen Lied.

Yes, I did:

Which, by the way, is one of the craziest anime series I have ever watched. Setting aside all the awesome gore, the awesome Gustav Klimt inspired intro gets me so excited. I feel bad for all the people who don’t know the connection.

Any who, Klimt has been on my mind all day so I thought I’d share it.

Ciao

Just in case you didn’t know

who Jimmy joe roche was, here’s a reminder of how awesome this guy is:

Joyeux Anniversaire Claude Monet!

I could NOT find my cat this morning. It made me really nervous because he’s almost 18 (human) years old and I read that when cats are about to die they hide. So, naturally I freaked out. Turns out he was hiding in my closet napping.

Any hoo, there’s supposed to be a party at my house this weekend… Guess who’s not excited? Me!

Well, I’m about to do some printmaking sketchbook pages and here are some of my inspirations:

Mary Cassatt

Unknown

Toulouse-Lautrec

Claude Monet

It says Gustav Klimt but it's hard for me to believe that.

Obviously I love 19th century art.

I’ve Just decided that I want to have artist of the day posts. DROOL.

Au revoir

Absurdism

• Why was The Tale of Despereaux violent and filled with cat abuse?

poor kitty

• WHY do I not own this:

• Or this?

• and why, may I ask, is everything that I want in Anthropologie $118 and up?
• Why was I born in this era and not this one:

• and why aren’t I middle aged woman who’s happily married with nice wallpaper?

• last but not least, why don’t I have awesome hair like this woman?

Oh, I know why. It’s just because.
