All-student art exhibit, Salon des Refusés

Saturday, April 24, 2010 § 0

I submitted a few pieces for my school's end-of-the year art exhibit. One of them was selected for the juried show in the student art gallery and the other ones were "rejected" and were put in the Salon des Refusés, an exhbit that Augsburg does for artwork that is not selected inspired by the Parisian scene of 1863 when artists were rejected from the Paris Salon and their work was instead exhibited in an annex section. Here are some pictures:

This is how I think in social circles.

I noticed these pieces at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts Foot In The Door exhibit. They are intriguing. I saw several people trying to push the buttons hoping something would happen. Thumbs up to the artists that created these.

Art Print at "Foot In The Door" - Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Friday, February 19, 2010 § 0







I submitted this print to the "Foot In The Door Exhibition" at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, which is an opportunity for artists residing in Minnesota to showcase their artwork, and it occurs every ten years. The space limit is one cubic foot. Hence the name of the exhibit. I took some pictures during the opening reception and found my print up there. This year close to 5,000 artists submitted work. It was awesome.

Potential Tattoo

I kind of want to get a tattoo of something like this. It's inspired by a book that I read this summer titled "flow." Hence, the design. Flow is a theory developed by a psychologist named Mihaly Csikszentmihaly and it describes really well what passion is all about. Highly recommended, read more about it here.

Financial Crisis

Monday, November 2, 2009 § 0




I used to have a job that consisted of requesting money to alumni for my school's fund. Most of the refusals blamed it on the economy and how the current financial crisis has changed their philanthropic priorities. While listening to their reasons I sketched what it was in my mind about their economic problems. Then I vectorized it.
