Hi all, Katrina Kessler here. I thought that today I would share another one of my favorite artists with you, Carne Griffiths. His work is mostly always of the human form and he uses colors that usually give off more of a cool tone. All of his subjects are beautiful and he often mixes other elements into his art, like nature. The loose lines and dripping/splattered paint give it a very quick and unrefined feeling, but that's not a bad thing at all. Parts of the people are also left unfinished or uncolored a lot of the time and the lines are all very thin, which is another element that I love about his work.

Here's his website... check it out for inspiration!

  1. I love this too. The amount of detail in each piece is crazy. But I love how there are also parts of each that lack detail. And the color scheme is extremely appealing.

  2. This is so freaking cool!!! The contrast in detail and lack of detail in each piece is so cleverly done. The dripping paint, loose lines, and interesting choices in color give off a mystical/ creepy vibe to me, and I love it!

  4. I like how he uses the dripping paint effect.

  5. Each piece is so unique, I love how in some areas the artist was very particular with detail and in other areas there may just be an outline with little detail or an unfinished feel to it. It really balances each piece.

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
