Skye on his work:
I am an artist and designer. That is all I know and it’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. I am always striving to evolve as an artist and keep up with a world that is changing at an increasing rate.
I graduated from Oregon State University with a BFA in Graphic Design with a focus on Fine Arts. Design is rapidly changing with the advent of technology and everyone is able to work on computer programs. I take pride in my design work because I focus on making it great and not pieced together at the last minute. In this cookie cutter world of art and design, my focus is to stand out among the rest and create the best work I possibly can for my clients and employers. I’ve worked in-house and on freelance projects with such companies as: prAna, Rip Curl, Redsand, Haro Design, Dragon Optical, Nike Swim and many more. I try to diversify myself in an ever changing multi media landscape with print design, illustration, videography, paintings and more.
My paintings are inspired by both the human condition and the environments that surround us. I am also very intrigued by how we deal with each other as humans, both on a personal and physical level. It is a subject that has been dealt with in art for centuries and will keep being an important subject matter for as long as humans exist.
I did not even notice the faces in the first one until Bella said something and I have stared at that painting for some time. I love the colors and how modern and wonderful it is. Your work is beautiful. I aspire to make work that wonderful someday. This is truly the best are I have seen in a very long while.
i love it!! the colors, the shades and it took me a min. to realize there was a second face in the first one. Your artwork is prodigious.
All I can say is that I want to see more of your artwork! You must have a body of work that has brought you to this point . . .what is next for a talent like you?
What is your website? I wanna buy some art!
Ms DemBones, I beleive the artist is expressing the notion that art is in everything that we see even when life sits still.
“ASTIG!” well thats the filipino term for cool! know wha? am not that artistic, nor i dont even know how to paint. but i definitly know how to spot a good work of art, and those are good work of art.. YOU ROCK!
What is this? This is art, damn it! And good art at that! Seriously, there’s so much garbage out there being pushed as art, that it is understandable how someone with obscured vision could become easily confused. But fear not, what you see here is truly art, and if it’s too “cutsie” then I suggest you kill some small vermin and arrange them in a clever still life. Miss Walker, do not let the uninitiated throw water on your parade or rain on your fire or otherwise imply you do not put your soul fully into your work. I see a classic grounding of style which hearkens back not only to the depictions of Greek gods and goddesses, along with a dark sense of humor that does not spill into self-indulgence, but also a savvy embodiment of classical Japanese watercolor style as well. You will always have your detractors, but take it from me, an artist steeped in the classic disciplines who sees farther into the future than most people can muster the courage to emulate, your stuff rocks! There, isn’t that nice? All kinds of grandiose talk just to finish with an utterly pedestrian compliment. Rock and roll Baby! Keep up the good work.
What is this??? Contemporary art has left artistic expression behind. I cannot find depth or feeling in any of the offerings you have put up. It is so “cutsie…”
Are the classics really really drowned in this——? Let us know if you intend to bring lovely, awesome vision, classic form to this century.
I love how the woman is the center of everything…
What a gift you have been blessed to share…as a shaman I see much to appreciate in the works of your hands..Thank You on the day we HONOR all veterans..Your art is the cherry on my Sundae!!
