ART TODAY 07.28.17: The “River Rocks Series” by Sandy Bleifer, sharing her art-making methods
My work evolves from an inquiry into the nature of my materials, my working process, and the paper itself. What I learn from my media I use as a frame of reference for the real world. The pieces in the River Rocks series express some of the common ground shared by natural processes and my art-making methods.
Salient Sunday: Adam Mars lets us inside his Funhouse for a TribeLA Magazine Acrostic Interview
I was raised by chefs so I know how to cook, though I don’t show off my knowledge much. I love prosciutto. My favorite restaurant is Taix in Echo Park.
My family. They allowed me to follow my creative passions and I try not to make them think I made a big mistake.
My favorite painting I made is called The Naughty Doppler. It still amazes me every time I see it.
ART TODAY “Highlights” 07.30.17: Living Color by Frank Creaturo, Jr.
It is often difficult to convey the depth, texture, and movement of a painting via photographs on the internet or even in a magazine. The qualities that initially drew us into the painting get lost. However, that is not the case with the artwork of Frank Creaturo, Jr, whose creations appear as rich and fluid online as they do in real life.
ART TODAY “Highlights” 07.31.17: Zion Vista by Erin Hanson
The bridge over the Virgin River, in Zion National Park, is a popular spot to catch the beautiful red cliffs and winding river. This painting captures all the drama and magnificence of this amazing vista. The oil paint was thickly applied with a brush, the impressionsitic colors melding together to capture the fleeting light of dawn.
ART TODAY “Highlights” 08.03.17: Thank you Hagop Belian for opening our eyes to your culture and giving us a view through the Cracks
Born in Damascus, Syria in 1977, Hagop immigrated to the United States with his sister when he was just twelve years old. As a Syrian-Armenian, he is motivated to preserve his culture and share it in a way that challenges stereotypes. While Hagop’s works are eye-catching – even startling – in their surrealism upon first glance, they are very much grounded in reality.

ART TODAY 08.07.17: From LA Nights to London Knights and the Largest dept. store in Europe by Richard Dewhirst
It’s strange that I have to defend LA, but I often find myself doing so. I really believe it has something for everyone and for those who dislike LA, I would suggest they haven’t explored it enough.
ART TODAY 08.08.17: Rocking it with Mike from the UK band, Tokyo Taboo by Richard Dewhirst
There’s a quote along the lines of ‘Being positive won’t guarantee you’ll succeed but being negative will guarantee you wont’ and that sentiment works for me.
ART TODAY 08.10.17: Impressive light show from the Port of Quebec City, Canada by Richard Dewhirst
I’m now a proud American but at the same time that doesn’t stop me from being proud of my British heritage. The two countries have so much in common while at the same time being so different. It’s a fascinating contradiction that I’ve spent years dissecting from my vantage point of having lived in both countries for decades.
