Art Now

I didn't start this blog just to write posts about my life. I started it so I could have a way to share my art and my love of art with my friends who share the same interests.

There are infinite numbers of galleries, magazines and websites with infinite numbers of artists showing infinite styles of work that sometimes I think art has turned into a complete shit show. But I realize that what has come of it is a direct reflection of our world, our culture and our sense of self... and truly I think that the shit show we have created is great and beautiful and honest.

My favorite magazines are ANP Quarterly, ISM and BOMB. These are much better then Art in America or Art Review because they show you that with art its important just to do, be whatever that may be. Without pages and pages of stuffy art reviews, much less advertising junk and frankly I think they are just more fun.

ANP QUARTERLY

ANPQuarterly is an arts magazine published by RVCA that focuses on a broader sense of art and community. The idea behind this endeavor is to make a magazine that will educate and inform openly and without the social or financial restrictions that plague many publications today. Our goal is not to focus on current events or “who’s hot” but rather to bring forward people and phenomena that deserve acknowledgment and coverage regardless of their place in time.

BOMB MAGAZINE

BOMB’s mission is to reveal artists’ ideas, their thoughts and creative processes, as well as their progress, through carefully developed dialogues—now and for posterity.
