Is that Sherpard Fairey in the hood?

The past couple of days I have been watching Sherpard Fairey along with a couple of assistants complete a mural on an abandoned building in the middle of West Dallas.  Graffiti better known now as street art for exploitative reasons has come a long way just three days ago this building was an eye sore amongst warehouses and homes that unfortunately display degradation.  By the end of the week those freshly painted brick walls will speak to thousands of people who pass by.  I am happy to see something beautiful be placed in an area that is often overlooked and under appreciated.  I don't have a name like Sherpard Fairey but if I "Obey" the will of God one day I too will have the opportunity to paint the next big mural in your neighborhood, cheers to dreaming and living out dreams.

Enough said

When I think back to day one I realize this struggle I constantly endure is far greater than what I ever imagined and what I come to experience is larger than the art I create.

IF YOUR LIFE WAS ART

I know we are at the beginning of a new year but I also know how important it is to focus on a new day.  One of my goals this year is to make my life become art.  Conceptually this idea is full of whimsy and imagination but I am a dreamer as well as a realist, there is nothing wrong with wishful thinking as long as your actions are practical.  My quote for this week is "tomorrow will be too late for what you can enjoy today", so live life as you were making a timeless masterpiece.

How would you describe your life as art....is it a mixed media painting, large wooden sculpture, or black/white photograph?  What mediums do you use?
