Art & Sketching: Chasin’ Tail
The work of Javier Perez: Imagination that makes you smile at its simplicity and simple joy it creates………
Fun Stuff don’t you think?
Came upon this wonderful body of work by Alex Konahin at Twisted Sifter. Take a look at the intricacy of the illustrations in ink at Twisted Sifter.
You probably know I don’t delve into art around SwittersB & Fly Fishing. Photography and a smattering of poetry are about as close as I get to the arts. Last week I was at the State of Oregon volleyball championship game, which was held at Liberty High School in Hillsboro, Oregon…just West of Portland.
After the game, I was wandering down a school hallway and came upon dozens of pieces of student art that were posted on the wall. It was eye catching and to me special. I have zero talent when it comes to art. My youngest son, Tony, is quite talented that way. So, these young artists from Liberty High were quite talented in my estimation. My wife and grand daughter were most impressed too.
When one imagines the thousands of schools from far flung places that perhaps encourage the arts and student expressions, I can only imagine how many eye catching pieces by talented students that are out there. Nice.
The pieces were not signed as far as I could see. But I thought I would present a small collage of just a few of the pieces mounted in a hallway I was lucky enough to enter.
I am sorry this sort of presentation doesn’t really do justice to the efforts, but click on the collage to enlarge. (SwittersB)
I, probably like you, have great admiration for the artist. The creation of images upon paper and the imagination and discipline to create never fail to please me. All artists, be they painters, drawers, sculptors, glass magicians, woodworkers, musicians on and on…are soothers of the mind and the soul. Big lead in for Shawn Bischsel’s work. But, for me, it pleases and I like how he takes our common images of fly fishing and fly tying and presents pleasing images. Check out Shawn’s site at Lines In The Dirt. Also, take a look at Shawn’s Etsy site for affordable pieces of art.

“First thing first, I think that there is an inescapable limitation which will identify the path in life we follow over a period of time; wich is the result of the choices we “have” to make.
Because of that I am promoting the idea that each individual is inhabited by different entities of thoughts, feelings, desires and talents and each of them play a significant role, often conflicting or more often not fully recognized. There is not a real master of the “house” but many tenants who must learn to live together.
I give to these tenants a chance to express themselves freely when the rules that govern their existence do not help, if not prevent, them to be expressed.” Edilio Ciclostile
