Qoute:
He was talking about all art when he said this qoute..
"Everything is understandable even if it takes 1000 words to describe a picture everything is understandable, mystifying art is bullshit"
3 Words: (about his work)
Original
Complex
Narrative
One person in audience said his work to be about dreams and uncognitive association. I agree along with complex story telling that is what I would say most all his work is about. I would say he is a very educated intelligent artist who researches his work heavily and makes complex pieces either about uncognitive associations or complex story telling.
Intresting thing learned from lecture:
I found Alex a very interesting artist. At first in the beginning I did not realize he was doing a performance piece and that his work was about associations but once I figured that out his work made sense became very interesting to me. I would have to say what he does is very original which is hard to say about many artists currently time that along I found fascinating. I think really interesting he makes his work complex either with storys or his work with uncognitive associations an dreams. At first you or lost when or if you do not realize what his work is about or that it is performnce piece but once all of that is realized his work easy to understand and keep along with as he talks.
Answers to Questions:
What interested you in making work about dreams?
From what I gathered what interests him with making work about dreams was about how your dreams have uncognitive associations or explanations for what you dream about which is really interesting.
Where did you get your inspiration/idea for unclehead from?
I do not believe he showed this work. But his inspirations and Ideas for all his work are either about stories or uncognitive associations with dreams and making his work show that in way people understand how that works.
Most Compelling Piece:
His very large complex space he built that started from walking into room imitating a meth lab and leading you all the way to room imitating very nice imitation of art gallery and last walking into a bunker containing all the ingredients for the show. I believe it was called Hello Meth Lab in the Sun.
New Questions:
Does it take you long time build diagrams for your complex pieces such as making layouts with all the associations that you want it to contain?
How long did it take you to create Hello Meth Lab in the Sun from start to finish?

Shawn Berber
I choose Shawn Berber because he himself is a tattoo artist but also makes artwork on this side along with tattooing people. It is intresting to see the the work of someone who tattoo's people along with making art. I like that in his portriates you can almost get impression of the subjects personalities and the kind of people they are and I want try display and show that with photos I take of my subjects. Get a sense of the subject along with viewing them beautifully and gaining interest in what there tattoos about. I love how colorful his paintings are warm feeling you recieve viewing them. I hope I can make my subjects look just as interesting when people look at my photo as his do in his paintings. His work is about documenting the tattoo culture with portraits and that is exactly what I am doing partially with my work.
Biography:
Like I said above his work is about documenting through painting the tattoo culture with portraits of individuals in the culture. He received is B.F.A. at the Ringling college of art in 1999. His work has been shown in private collections and exhibitions all across the world including Australia and Europe. He had book published in 2006 titled "Tattooed Portrait's." For past 10 years he has taught drawing, painting and business of art. He was artist before he became a tattoo artist after years of painting the culture he decided it was logical to become one. Currently he works at Memoir Tattoo in L.A.

"The people that I am painting are very specific artists, whose works that I respect and admire. Artists that are unique individuals with sincere devotion to their craft and a complete sense of integrity"

"The series of paintings came about through my interest in the human figure, tattoos and exploring the possibilities of applying pigment to surface. Portraiture specifically intrigues me. It's a challenge to paint [contemporary artists] in a way that isn't cliché, but respectful and considerate of each person's art and their unique personalities."

Bruce Adams
I chose Bruce Adams for having same intrest in making work about the same people I do. I has even more specific focus then I do in painting tattooed women most nudes, but I feel we have same interest and drive in our work. I find his paintings beautiful I hope specifically with my portraits that I can make my subjects look just as beautiful and captivating as he does. I want to make people that may even be considered ugly or average in todays society with tattoos look beautiful in my photographs. He does with his subject every person no matter how they look are beautiful in way he set them up in his paintings and with his use of light and color. That is what I want to do in my portraits of my subjects. His work is currently displayed in ghost print gallery 22 west broad. It is called Drawing blood 3: Tattooed women.
Biography:
Bruce recieved his education at Statue University College of Buffalo recieving his Bachelors and Masters there M.A. in 83 and B.A. in 76.
"Adams has straddled the fine art and art education communities as a painter, installation and performance artist, public school art teacher, adjunct college art instructor, arts advocate, and more recently critical and creative writer. He has exhibited extensively, and his work is included in numerous private and museum collections"blic school art teacher, adjunct college art instructor, arts advocate, and more recently critical and creative writer. He has exhibited extensively, and his work is included in numerous private and museum collections. " - http://www.adams-studio.com/biographical.htm
His work has has historical references and makes his work about the act of painting an meaning of that and viewing it. He says he received his real education from the western contemporary art scene beginning in the 1980's. Bruce has been in several are exhibitions and recieve 3 awards and grants for his work. He is a concept driven artist all his paintings having meaning and big believer in having bodies of work rather then having several individual and completely different paintings.
This is his artist statement for the specific body of work of his that I am interested in.
http://www.adams-studio.com/tattoo%20series%20ststement.htm
Two Qoutes
" The dual acts of self-alteration and selective disclosure are forms of empowerment - affirmations of personal control."
"As an art form, tattooing has its own history and aesthetics and the tattooed individual is a product - a record - of a particular place and time in that historical line. My paintings add another layer, subjectively encompassing my perceptions of several layers of artistic and cultural intentions."
Both are taken from http://www.adams-studio.com/tattoo%20series%20ststement.htm.

Tattoo's
A tattoo is an affirmation: that this body is yours to have and to enjoy while you're here. Nobody else can control what you do with it.
DON ED HARDY, Douglas Kent Hall's Prison Tattoos
Tattoos fulfill a need to inscribe the self as an individual.
MARGO DEMELLO, Bodies of Inscription
Tattoos tell stories of crime and passion, punishment and regret. They express an outlaw, antiauthoritarian point of view and communicate a romantic solidarity among society's outcasts.
DOUGLAS KENT HALL, Prison Tattoos
Tattoos have a power and magic all their own. They decorate the body but they also enhance the soul.

http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-Do-People-Get-Tattoos?&id=5220931
The article above explains in the most simpilist ways. People get tattoos as a form of freedom, self expression, rebellion, affiliations, connection, express love, religion, belief, spiritual, remembrance, and to show what has happened in their lives. They go through the pain to show what they feel strongly about. The pain they go through with the tattoo makes what they have marked on them a part of themselves. Not just image places upon their bodies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This topic is what my project is all about. People and their tattoos. It is about how people are using their bodies as history books writing what most important to them on themselves. It is about learning about these people through the imagery they decided to have placed on themselves. Every tattoo has a meaning I have found through my project even if it just a story behind them getting it. There is no tattoo that exists that has nothing to be said or has no explanation to it. This term is what all of my project is about in a way.

Angela Bouwright
I choose this artist because her achievements are very inspiring to me. In mix of her works her photographs with tattoos are amazing. I want achieve just as great lighting skills with my works just as much as she does with hers. I believe her and I have same passion as her in wanting to photograph these different subcultures of people in America.

Angela was born in Columbus, Ohio. She moved to NY when she was 18 and that is when she started photographing people in subcultures. She photographed her friends skateboarding and bands at shows in the beginning.

One of her first big shows was "200 Troubled Teenagers" it showed in LA, NYC, and Colette, Paris. She is represented by PMI. Currently she photographs trash metal bands, live, and fan portraits. Today she still photographs lives in NYC but often travels everywhere.

Zoe Beloff Lecture ?'s and Responses
Interesting Qoute-
"I find ways to manifest subconscious processes of the mind."
3 Words Describe Zoe Work
-Psychological
-Fabrication
-Subconscious
The most interesting thing I learned about the artist is when she admitted all the people and things for the most part she was talking about was made up. I found her lecture not as interesting before she told the truth and when she did I become very fascinated in the work she created. I think it is brilliant that she can talk about her work as if it were all real and manage to convince people nothing she made or said was fabricated. I would say shes first artist I have seen been able to toy and mess with peoples perceptions of her work. Her work is all about the psychological and way the mind processes which all together is new, exciting and something fascinating all together.
QUESTIONS I HAD FOR ZOE
What or who first inspired you to be and artist ?
What is your work about? The overall theme?
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
Zoe's inspirations are her parents, brother, and husband. All her family works with either art and or psychology. Her work is all about manifesting the subconscious process's of the mind. It is either about psychological people and or dreams. When she creates her work the line between documentary and fabrication get blurred in which helps convince the views from the beginning is real and not fabricated.

William DeMichele (Late)
Out of all works I have seen Williams work fascinates me the most. He has over the years gone around to tattoo conventions photographing women who are tattooed. The way he photographs his subjects reminds me alot of how I photograph mine almost. Using a black background and having subjects shot in color. I choose him for my work due to the fact of how our works are similar visually.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
William DeMichele is a photographer that over the past 12 years has been going around to tattoo conventions and photographing Woman (sometimes men) that are tattooed in his studio. In 1992 he published book called "The Illustrated Woman." I would love to go around to conventions everywhere to photograph more subjects in the tattoo culture. According to this site http://www.linkedin.com/in/demichele it says "Have attended over 250 tattoo conventions throughout the US, Canada,Mexico, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Australia, Borneo and Russia and presently have the largest photographic collection of tattooed people with over 4,000 sittings." He has been in several magazines, exhibitions and museums with his work. He got his bachelors in 1980 from The College of Saint Rose. He still today photographs subjects at tattoo conventions with his location equipment.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Clients would say, the ability to travel to any location, set-up a professional studio space and the ability to relax an "amateur" subject to get professional results."-
http://www.linkedin.com/in/demichele
"The Illustrated Woman may open your eyes to the whole other view of body art and the women who display it. Some of he women photographed here have one or two simple tattoos while others are doctors or executives. However, all have chosen to adorn their bodies with images meaningful to themselves as expressions of who they are. " - G.P.

Tatsumi Takuya (Late)
I choose this photographer to blog about because he is documenting the same culture as me. He photographs his subjects in different ways but in that inspires gives me different ideas on how photograph my subjects. He chooses mostly those with back pieces and each subject has beautiful back pieces in which I hope find subjects with just as beautiful pieces.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because alot of his website is in different language or text is messed up all I could find about him was that he was born in Shiga and went to school at Osaka Visual College and that he was in publications and exhibitions.

Brian Ulrich (For Nov 1st)
I am interested in Brian Ulrich in relationship to my work based on concept and having a centeralized theme between all of his photos. Each piece of work is focusing on a certain culture or is about a certain culture in which I am doing with my series of photos also. Brian likes to focus on consumer culture while I focus on a subculture inside of the body modification culture. I am focusing only on the culture of those with tattoos. The way he photographs his work is also beautiful I hope imporve my lighting skills in order be able make my photos look as detailed as his.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brian was born in 1971 in Northport, NY. He got his bachelors in photography at University of Akron and his Masters at Columbia College in Chicago. His photos are all mainly about consumer culture and his works are currently residing in several museums including Museum of contemporary photography. He began working in gallery and a museum and there he learned his extensive knowledge in the history of his practice which shows in his work. First monograph was published in 2006 by aperture and in 2007 in Photo District News magazine was named one of 30 emerging photographers of the year. He has been in several magazines and his work has been noted by academics, environmentalists and activists.
