There is an "occupy Facebook with art" thing going on at the moment. Of course I've been overly eager about it so thought I'd transfer some of that enthusiasm over here. I love art, adore it. I went to study Fine Arts at university after spending my VCE doing art sculpture. Basically though I was going through a rather rough period in my life (mum had just died) and I couldn't really see much hope in my future/anything so gave it up thinking "I can never make a career of this" - well that was my excuse at the time. A huge part of me regrets this naive 19 year old decision. Thankfully though, my love for art has continued to span across the years. This is basically all modern art. My love for older periods doesn't wane though. One day, maybe, I'll do a post about them.

Obviously these are all "street artists" or "graffiti artists" or whatever you want to call them. A lot of people "don't like graffiti" to be honest there is a lot of "graffiti" that I don't like either but that's usually not actual graffiti/or art but rather straight up 13 year old boredom on a wall. This stuff, to me, is art and the essence of art especially in 2014.
I really want that McGinley photograph as a wall decal or canvas, any tips on where/how to get it printed??!
I've turned off comments here because as much as I love reading them I feel like I don't always get to reply, then I feel rude. FB, twitter and IG give a much more "personal" level of conversation. If you'd like to follow me on any of those formats here are the links:
