It allows one mind to explore there own imagination while watching each video. To experience the videos I am talking about go to http://www.heyhush.com/#/work/sony-ericsson-eu2 these videos are mind blowing.
My Design Mind
As a designer I have sometimes a hard time sticking to the standards of the industry and the rules that go along with them. At heart I'm an artists that lives by no rules. Sometimes it seems as if my designs do not reflect what my teachers standards are, but they only reflect who I am as a artists. I like to incorporate art into my designs by using my drawings or taking photos and manipulating them. I have realized over the years while in school that I will never meet the typical standards as a designer so i am staying true to myself as a designer and an artists.
Tattoo Design
As a graphic artists I appreciate the designs of a tattoo designer. Its basically art work on your body I like the intricate designs that are introduced in the designer. Some people look down on tattoos but I look at it as a way to express ones own inner beauty of there emotions. The show Miami Ink showed how people came in with there heart on there sleeve getting a piece of artwork that had meaning to there life. Tattoos are works of art that are permanent for a lifetime having a lifetime of artwork is very appreciative
Kehinde Wiley
Kehinde Wiley using European paintings to create unique forms that are within each painting. such as the man on the horse is an urban example of the renaissance painting of Napoleon. The urban example is of a black man on a horse that exhumes power that African American men rarely have within society. The images side by side are very powerful, Kehinde captures the essence in his painting as if he were a renaissance artist himself.
Kara Walker
Ms. Kara Walker is a printmaker, painter, and installation artist that has achieved international recognition for her works of art that are based upon the 19th century. She used cut out silhouettes that depicted slavey and plantation life in the south. Walker took a chance using images that were gruesome. Even though she got flack for images she still kept true to herself as an artists an continue to use slavery depictions that happened in the south. Each of images are uniquely designed and really strikes a cord within the viewer.

Gig Posters
GigPoster is a site where poster lovers can come and buy posters. You can also publish and post your own poster work for sale. On this site I love the art work that is placed on the posters for each band. Each of the posters has a different feel to each and everyone one of them. This site always inspires me to create my own individual work. One day I would love to do poster work or just t-shirt art.
