my shop: happy-plush-plush!

Yeah definately a great concept. Was this personal, professional or are u a student?

Great work.

I'm a student, but this is a self-directed work, that will be for sale. So you could consider it any?

Most of my work is about social spaces and the tensions in the space, between the space and the people, and between the people - did that make any sense? I guess, it goes under the idea that all spaces aren't nuetral. I'm interested in using visual analogies to represent tensions that you get with people in spaces, in the elevator, cars, downtown, hallways, social events, etc. etc.

With the society today (western society), it is the popular understanding that the construction of spaces are merely the-way-things-are; the use of the automobile, the way we create buildings, etc. etc. So, really it's similar to Derrida's 'deconstruction' notion - or post-modern/post-structuralist thought - that i'm interested in. However, fellow artists often see humour and some feminist traits in my works.

Beyond all that artspeak - I just started painting when I was young as a way to express the thoughts I was having at that age. After going through art school i've learnt to articulate them. I try to deconstruct, question, examine, criticize the way I/we live.

Amen to that.

It's very nice! I love the background color you chose and how you used the dark lines, really impressive

Oh yeah, I also wanted to say that since I've been watching you, your work has become so much more dynamic Brian. I know it doesn't mean much coming from me, but you have really improved and I keep wanting to fave every single one of your new paintings

Yea, i'm glad i'm progressing.. ever since I decided to start a 'series' and then the 'friday-night painting party' I seem to be logging about 5-10 hours a week on a painting.. which is pretty decent - plus i'm always thinking about my next painting.

It's also probably an increase in the amount of labour that's relaly made my work better. I'm not a very patient person.. (so why the eff do I paint?) - so yea, in the beggining I didn't want to spend lots of time, and lots of money on something I didn't like. After having success, I started to slowly increase the work hours on each piece. Now I'm more confident, and can make bigger decisions on buying expensive materials etc etc..

it's also helped that i've been at art school, in a community where many others are in the same boat. However, none of my friends are really painters.. but all are quite conceptual thinkers who I can bounce off ideas with, and work to the morning. My peers critiques on my work are the most influencial to me, and i'm thankful that you've had the time to give me your thoughts.
