baltimore bicycle works

2009-09-21T10:07:00.000-07:00

i am lucky enough to be given the chance to shoot a photo pictorial this week at the best bike shop in baltimore, should be an interesting experience, hopefully i will be able to capture the vibe and feeling of the shop. i will post up some photos as soon as i can get them cleared.

new piece

2009-09-21T07:51:00.000-07:00

here is a new piece i worked on this last week, a little bigger than i have been working, look for my new pieces to get a bit tighter and more layered.

"the long walk home" - 18x12 acrylic

field training

2009-09-14T09:07:00.000-07:00

here are a couple photos that i took during two days of combat camera training, i think they came out pretty decent.

national gallery

2009-09-10T08:13:00.000-07:00

here are a few photographs i took while in d.c. this past weekend, there just some basic architecture shots within the gallery space. it was an interesting experience going to the contemporary wing of the gallery. It was an introduction to alot of iconic abstract expressionists and pop art works that i had never seen in person, it left me a bit underwhelmed by alot of what i saw and it further cemented for me how much of those era's were driven by collectors and critics.

2009-09-05T19:40:00.000-07:00

here is an artist I have recently become aware of, he is from romania and he is stellar in my opinion, very dark work and a nice blend of realism and ruff strokes.

2009-08-28T09:42:00.000-07:00

here is a new piece i recentley finished, a mock up of something i would like to explore on a larger scale soon. - " on the edge of tommorrow" 14x11 in mixed media

inspiration for days courtesy of connor harrington and chloe early

2009-08-26T06:31:00.000-07:00

kind of an old post , But I think both harrington and early's work is a dynamic blend of figurative and fluid abstraction. I am very much influenced and inspired by what these two are doing.

guam bound

2009-08-24T12:04:00.000-07:00

hiatus

2008-10-09T15:30:00.000-07:00

hello everyone, it has been a long while since I have updated this blog. And I wanted to make a big announcement. I will be continuing my artistic hiatus for quite sometime. I have been training/prepping for the last 11 months to go into the air force to be a combat controller. This is a major itch I have had for many years and I have chose to pursue it while I am still young enough to. I dont expect most people to understand my choice but I hope all can be supportive of it. I will be periodically updating on my journey over the next several months and years.

peace, jeff

above is some photographic examples of what im going to try and become.

two posts in one day here we go, I have a show coming up in a few weeks, should be fun. The details are below.

As part of their monthly series of group shows, the Carmichael Gallery has assembled another exciting line up of emerging artists from around the world. "So many selves..." is a diverse collection of works from over twenty-five artists of varying backgrounds, ages, gender, and circumstances. Each of the pieces in the show is unique in subject matter, style, and, quite frequently, media. No one theme dominates, and yet the harmony and flow of creative impetus is unhindered from the first canvas to the last. Like a crowded room of beings engaged in animated conversation, each eager to tell his or her personal story, "So many selves.." demonstrates the beautiful communion and growing international empathy of our art world.

Including works by: Alexandre Yassu (Brazil), Andrea Shear (USA), Angelique Houtkamp (Holland), Binho Barreto (Brazil), Candice Tripp (South Africa), Chris Stain (USA), Ciro Schu (Brazil), Damion Silver (USA), Daniel Bileu (Brazil), Dask Two (Brazil), Fefe Talavera (Brazil), HUSH (UK), Irina Troitskaya (Russia), J. Asher Lynch (USA), Jeff Schultze (USA), Josh Taylor (USA), Josh Heilaman (USA), Justin Kleiner (USA), Justin Lyons (USA), Ken Garduno (USA), Lindsey Kuhn (USA), Mike Egan (USA), Misery (NZ), Mose120 (UK), Nate Williams (USA), Petite Poupee7 (Brazil), Randy Noborikawa (USA), Rodrigo Villas (Brazil), Sergio Mora (Spain), Terri Woodward (USA), Yuki Miyazaki (Japan/USA) and more!

Re:Mission
"Complete or partial disappearance of the signs and symptoms of disease."
______________________________________________________

58,000 children get treated each year at the Children's Hospital of LA. If our creativity can inspire one child to keep fighting cancer, our mission will be complete.

Re:Mission is an art event/auction that will benefit children with cancer at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. Proceeds from the show will produce 2 things.

1. An art book consisting of all submitted/donated work from each artist along with bio information. Copies of this book will be distributed to the kids at CHLA.

2. Funds that will be donated to support CHLA's amazing ART PROGRAM.

This is the perfect opportunity for the art community to reach beyond itself, making a clear and visible difference.

Sneaker Pimps Customs

2007-04-27T11:08:00.000-07:00

these are a pair of kicks that I customized for the upcoming 2007 Sneaker Pimps world tour. They were an all white K-Swiss shoe that I completely overhauled. I'm not a huge fan of K-Swiss at all, so I took it as a challenge to create something I would want to rock.
