Since then I've been featuring him in some comics I've made since 2018 on my old Instagram account - idiotboxcatcomics. After doing a couple of dozen comics, I've decided to create a comic series and I decided that Toasty should have a series!</p><p style="text-align: left;">In 2020, during the Coronavirus pandemic, I've came up with Toasty In Space, which is a comic series Starring Toasty Peguin. Brief synopsis: Toasty planned to sell a new type of space weed to a very wealthy man who's grandfather was terminally ill and the only way to ease his pain was to smoke/indulge in some marijuana. Toasty falls into some trouble when his business partner smokes half of the weed that he was going to sell, so he comes up with a plan to steal the money from the wealthy man to buy more weed to in order to sell him more weed. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>TO ALL YOU TOASTY FANS! </b></p><p style="text-align: left;">I've finally decided to take this series and finally put it into print! In June I will start selling the printed copies of each episode of the series! In different arrangement of sorts - details will be coming soon - about what that will look like! You will also be able to get<b> STICKERS! PINS! POSTERS!</b> and maybe some more surprises! Depending on how much demand there is for this kickstarter. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I will have more information on what will be available, when the launch date will be and what cool stuff you can get! be on the look out! </p><p style="text-align: left;">If you are brand new and want to read this comic series you can click the link down below! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.idiotboxcat.com/p/toasty-penguin.html"><b>Click Here!</b></a><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Or you can follow me on all socials! </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Idiotboxcattv">Click Here!</a></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/idiotboxcat/">Click Here!</a></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Old Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/idiotboxcatcomics/">Click Here!</a></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Stay tuned for more! </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Richie.</p>Richie Bubbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17432324769805609330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601000911768825672.post-56577399222628255152023-04-08T18:45:00.003-04:002023-04-13T23:39:56.748-04:00New Projects, Updates & Past Couple of Years<p> Hi Folks, </p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to start off by saying that I've updated the look and feel of the website! </p><p>I've had this website for about 11 years! and over the years I've consistently kept the same layout. I can't help but like the lemon yellow and the baby blue color. I've added a nice periwinkle blue color for the background of my posts to give it more dimension. Blogger has also added some new template so I used one of them and then jazzed it up to fit my criteria in what I'm looking for. I added some new font, which I like but I hope it doesn't affect people's ability to read my blog posts so I might re-consider changing it down the line, but for now I think it looks cool. </p><p>It's 2023, and it's been about 2 years since I haven't posted, a lot has happened since then. Some of the major highlights that has happened is, my old instagram account (mroutsyder) got hacked back in early 2022! by some stupid bitcoin scam - so you can reach me at <b><a href="https://instagram.com/Sgt_Outsyder">Click Here</a></b> and my backup Idiotboxcat page <b><a href="https://instagram.com/idiotboxcatcomics_2">Click Here</a> </b></p><p>It really sucks to have your account hacked and deleted and I did everything I could to get it back and nothing had worked, which is unfortunate, but that's why it's very important to archive all of your pictures and use a 2 step verification process in order to protect your accounts at all times. You never know what might happen with cyber attacks, especially with more and more people being lured by scams nowadays!</p><p><b>NEW DEVELOPMENTS</b></p><p>I'm sure some of y'all got at chance to read the rest of the Toasty In Space series that I still have on my website. A brief summary of the comic for those of you who don't know but Toasty, the Penguin is a character that I've created in 2015. He is a toaster penguin that likes smoking marijuana and the premise of the story is that he meets up with a wealthy man who offers him money to buy some space weed, but through the process of the transaction he realizes that his partner smokes most of the weed and he decides to steal the money from the wealthy man and then goes on a mission to buy more space weed. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5vdy4VII2h52TXSdzQzgvL4fxYb2ZjVCD8dQpr8lSrpCGOjFOEGmVKs-BC4cTzFD4Wx2k8oR_RMmPRmk9XheB1-26anqMTQkdWmNobUL5LIbo8DYJ3APNj_16tI1mDr8RuZIsuTRHIRndPyVeA3kdCEUnxTfwKuPdi6gekYS_baWBUnF5J6_RPno/s2000/PAGE%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5vdy4VII2h52TXSdzQzgvL4fxYb2ZjVCD8dQpr8lSrpCGOjFOEGmVKs-BC4cTzFD4Wx2k8oR_RMmPRmk9XheB1-26anqMTQkdWmNobUL5LIbo8DYJ3APNj_16tI1mDr8RuZIsuTRHIRndPyVeA3kdCEUnxTfwKuPdi6gekYS_baWBUnF5J6_RPno/s320/PAGE%201.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><p>For those who are interested you can link here: <a href="https://www.idiotboxcat.com/p/toasty-penguin.html">Click Here</a> to read the whole web series. </p><p><b>TOASTY IN SPACE - SEASON 2</b></p><p>I've been considering on making season 2 of Toasty In Space, which I think would be nice to continue to add more development to the story and I think it would be fun to continue the narrative. I will keep you guys updated on when I will be starting the production process on the second season. Be on the looking around July of 2023 for the first episode of season 2. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>NEW CARTOONS</b></p><p>So, I've been coming out with new cartoons in 2023, I haven't had much of an active year in 2022 and 2021 respectively, because of how busy I was and just dealing with personal life shit, so I've been recluse in that sense. I was still creating and making art, but it was more behind the scenes. Now that the pandemic of 2020 has ended and personally I'm more comfortable with where I want to be in life at the moment, I'm starting to create more cartoons, which means a <b>new comic series! </b></p><p>You guys will still get the single strip and multiple strip cartoons, but I will be putting together a brand new series and debuting the comics on here, sometime in the near future! So be on the lookout for that, nothing in the works as of yet, but I will definitely let you know once I have something! </p><p><br /></p><p><b>A COLLECTION</b></p><p>Lastly, I've been working on something special. It's a new collection of art that I will debut later this year. It's going to be a bit different then the regular stuff that I've been working on for the past couple years. I will let you guys more of that as time goes on but for now...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvVzegBNPTZwoHoa2VpCNUr5VyL5da6gyUoldkx5pdnMSKTmklj0gOQFgrP6AmC361c7pzqnSmsC0Ze38unflWp55oaSFskAk42f7lxPql40lO4GF0ACqu7WrdOIaANzOp0RGpJ81vOH6inht7T_-KjDdly__ZDUhrSa0JsTWEF1vw_XSf9KfZtY/s2000/2023%20Easter.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDvVzegBNPTZwoHoa2VpCNUr5VyL5da6gyUoldkx5pdnMSKTmklj0gOQFgrP6AmC361c7pzqnSmsC0Ze38unflWp55oaSFskAk42f7lxPql40lO4GF0ACqu7WrdOIaANzOp0RGpJ81vOH6inht7T_-KjDdly__ZDUhrSa0JsTWEF1vw_XSf9KfZtY/s320/2023%20Easter.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p>Have a Happy Easter! and I will see you on the flip side. </p><p><br /></p><p>Paint Life. 2023! </p>Richie Bubbhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17432324769805609330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601000911768825672.post-50334431932446092222020-06-23T11:02:00.001-04:002020-06-23T11:02:16.126-04:00Toasty In Space: Episode Five <br />

Hello Ladies and Gents!<br />
<br />
<br />
This year I've started to make my own comic books!<br />
<br />
This is something I've been wanting to do for a while now, and with much thought and debate I've decided create my own series!<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
DISCLAIMER! </h4>
<br />
<b>Now, I'm approaching this series as a working progress, which means these comic books are NOT perfect by any stretch of the imagination. It's something that I'm having fun with and something that I'm also exploring as an cartoonist/comic book artist. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Also bear in mind that this comic is NOT for everyone. This is very demographic specific based on the content of this series, the characters and some of the dialogue that is being presented! </b><br />
<br />
If you are someone who enjoys indulging in 4/20, if you are someone who is a millennial or a late Gen X'er, if you are someone who likes odd beat characters, and if you are someone who like coarse language and in your face dialogue, then this comic maybe for you! Alternatively, you don't have to any of those things I mentioned to enjoy this content!<br />
<br />
With all that being said,<br />
<br />
Ladies and Gents, I would like to introduce:<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: center;">
TOASTY IN SPACE SERIES!</h4>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So, </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On Thursday night I had my opening reception for my second solo exhibition: Faces N Colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, more than anything I just want to post pictures, but I think a little introduction is needed. In 2017, I had a solo exhibition at a bar called Fountain, in Toronto, Canada. I exhibited 12 of my graphite portraits, and I sold one. It was great and I had a good time, back then I was still trying to master my portrait skills by using pencils. It was something that I was strangely passionate about, but I think it was because I was doing this for the people. They loved it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That's actually how I got started, but of course you'll find that in some earlier posts. I also was new to exhibiting my work in public spaces. I watched closely to all the shows I was apart of, and figured to myself, if I am going to get anymore exposure, for my work to gather more sales, then a solo exhibition would be the way to go. It's not only for the money, but it's also about pushing myself to do things I've never done before. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had reached out to Tiffany and Melanie of the Freedom Factory to do a solo show with them. They agreed, and I started my journey to planning, organizing and getting this big show together. Along the way, some people had reached out to me for exposure. I had two rap performers who I met, one by random, who works at a Pizza store, and the other through one of my artist friends, who recommended me to check out their music. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They loved my work, and wanted me to help them with their album covers. So, I did. I generated these covers with my cartoon works, while I worked on the portraits in the breathe to balance out the show I had looming over me. They both made great music to boot, and for the portraits I was doing, which were mostly celebrity portraits, I started to see the synchronization. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Color portraits was also a new venture, as I started creating them last year. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started with this portrait here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmqlzIYFkYk_hYTDWQhDGbrACcX1-FB5tHHpqvbHhxTJl_3T4aOKot0A2DvDJt1HRsPjgCM23sScxe5aPwpH_-Db_vkhaQBUWT7TotKAWd0SUrAVeYTyNov9rqlvs3rMbSnP_q1mdflo/s1600/Courage+Portrait.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1306" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXmqlzIYFkYk_hYTDWQhDGbrACcX1-FB5tHHpqvbHhxTJl_3T4aOKot0A2DvDJt1HRsPjgCM23sScxe5aPwpH_-Db_vkhaQBUWT7TotKAWd0SUrAVeYTyNov9rqlvs3rMbSnP_q1mdflo/s320/Courage+Portrait.jpg" width="261" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From there, I went straight into celebrity portraits. My portrait selection was really limited, and due to all of my obligations, I really couldn't do as much as I wanted to, but that's okay. I created celebrities from the 1950's like Marilyn Monroe, to the 90's R&B urban stars like Aaliyah, to the misunderstood and polarizing new age rap stars like XXXTentacion, who died in 2018, rest in peace.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was more for the new age, as I see myself who's coming up in my industry as a new age artist. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The turn out was magnificent !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My friends and family all came out to support me, and I was beyond grateful. We had some technical difficulties in the beginning of our show, but we worked it out in time for the performers to perform!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had a great time at the opening, we also played a game as well, which involved guessing which of the portraits had a golden ticket on the back of them. It was a little confusing at first, but at the end of it all, everyone won prizes !</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Time for some pictures! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
okay so off first rip, I painted all of my frames a different color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I actually came up with the idea to paint the frames, from the birth of my niece. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See, she was born in 2018, and I decided for her first Christmas present, I would</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
paint the fame of her portrait pink, because of how great it looked, I always </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
kept it in the back of my mind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When it came down to it, I thought that the painted frame give</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
much more character and novelty to the entire product. Some of the colors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gave it a nice cool feeling, or some of painted frame gave the piece more energy. </div>

I had a great night! and it made me realize that persistence really pays off. 5 years ago, I was sitting at a desk at home, trying to figure out how I'm going to crack into the creative industry in Toronto, and I trusted my intuition and went with what worked first, and that was these portraits. People seem to love them and I'm thankful that they do. I feel accomplished and everything worked out in the end, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All I gotta say to that, is don't let instant gratification take control over your life, in order to be successful, it takes time, and patience. It will all work out, believe me, or in that case, believe you! </div>

Ladies and Gentleman,<br />
<br />
I would like to announce my second solo exhibition by yours truly!<br />
<br />
<b>Richie Bubb Presents: Faces N Colors - A gallery display of 20+ hand drawn color portraits* </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Here's an exert from the Facebook Event Page:<br />
<br />
"Faces N Colors is the second solo exhibition and the first gallery exhibition by Richie Bubb. It comes as follow-up to Richie's first solo exhibition 2017's Potions and Portraits. It features 20+ color portraits and some paintings from the artist. It's a progression from black and white graphite portraits of celebrities like Marilyn Manson and Amy Winehouse into color portraits of celebrities such as Kendrick Lamar and Cardi B. Richie's signature rough cross-hatching style is the pivotal highlight as it's detailed form sharp clean lines presents a stylized look that spills into the audience."<br />

Last Thursday, I attended the launch of Northern Contemporary's new gallery space! I got there kind of late, so the crowd wasn't as big by that time, but it was fun. They had a few of their artists there on their grand opening night, as well as some of their works! Which I will show and discuss!<br />
<br />
Here's a little more about Northern Contemporary! An exert taken from their website.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Located in the historic Parkdale Theater building at <b>1605 Queen Street West</b> in the neighbourhood of Parkdale, Northern Contemporary aims to showcase work from a wide range of artists focusing on illustrative, representational, urban, lowbrow, comic, pop art, and experimental work. The space is also home to a shard artist collective, housing over 25 different artists, artisans and makers featuring an incredible range of creative endeavours. Through a variety of events aimed to promote Toronto's already-thriving art community, Northern Contemporary provides greater exposure for artists to new markets. Come by and say hello!" </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
So, I never really been to Northern Contemporary at their old location, but I've always heard about them, and seen some of the work from the collective of artists in that circle. For their grand opening night, they had 10 artist who displayed some great and unique works of art.<br />

The walls are white, the ground is grey and patchy, the space is wide, and there's a random door.<br />
Northern Contemporary's new space is spacious. Unfortunately I didn't get more photos of the space in the back, but there's a lot of studio spaces for artists who needs a place to work and be creative and there's a recording studio, and also there's a photography space for anyone who's looking to shoot some photos for a portfolio, a new display pic or for some kind of modeling gig.<br />
<br />
It's pretty much a collective of artists that support artists with a space to create whatever there hearts desire, and since it's pretty much a public space, they do a great job of creating a community that inspires artists to do just that.<br />
<br />
Now... Off to the world of the artwork of Northern's Contemporary!<br />

<br /></div>
Here we have Unmanifest: Gitrinitas by Adam Giroux, there's two subjects in this piece of art, one male and one female with a division between the two. They both have similar expressions, although the male looks more depressive and disdained. It has a really grayed out look and feel and the colors are very earthy, especially in the hair of the female, and the skin tones. I really like how Adam uses the colors to display emotion and expression in the piece. He really plays with rich deep colors that present an almost mist like quality to the piece. The shadows also adds to the expression and overall presentation to the image, almost as it, there's more presented there that we can't see. Overall it's a such an amazing quality of work by Adam Giroux.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the traditional expressions and artists directions of the great masters of the last couple centuries in human history, art began to take a different turn and presented the audience and viewers a different perspective and challenge in how they see art and how they define what art is. It began becoming political and social with messages, ideas, thoughts and content that was thought-provoking back in the late 50's. Moira is one of those artists who haven't forgot about that, and this piece shows. "Her Absense Fills The Spring" is a mixed media piece that consists of a long piece of a canvas that appears to be two long pieces of canvas stapled or taped together, that hangs off of a piece of board with holes in it. On the extra long canvas, at the top it's painted black with the words of the piece ("Her Absense Fills The Spring") pasted in bold white letters. I think this piece is one of those pieces that speaks to the right kind of audience who can identify what this artist is trying to convey. Since it starts with a gender pronoun, its obvious to say that it would speak to women who are either feeling empty, empowered, or inspired. Regardless of the message, this piece is one of those pieces that really makes you think about what's been said, rather than what's being seen. The imagery does speak a lot to the message, especially with the concept of the black paint being covered at the top of the piece. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Here we have a series of pieces by Keight Maclean and Moira Ness. All ranging from different sizes, as you can see here. Keight and Moira both take a very old masters, Michelangelo Renaissance approach to these pieces, breezily creating expressions of female's faces on each piece of wood. They reminds me much of Caravaggio's work, highlight the darkness and intensity in their body of work, the high contrast between the lights and the darks. I also like the spray paint effect in one of the pieces, giving it a very shocking look, breaking up the black in the background. Also, the one in the top right corner, with the woman who has her head tilted back while her hand is on her forehead, I like the drip effect coming out from under her arm, and her face. These pieces are amazingly done, and I like the traditionalism featured in this series.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So I met Matt Daniels a couple years ago at an ETA event that was hosted by an artist named Trilli, who actually runs the organization. Solid guy, you could tell he really is about his business and his craft, although at first I didn't think he was an artist based on appearance, not because I was judging him, or that I think that an artist has to have a certain look, but because I didn't think a guy like that would be an artist. Needless to say I was wrong, because his work is incredible. Here, we have "Intution" it's acrylic on canvas, soft pastel colors move through the image, with a coarse red line, a splatter of what seems to be a chestnut like color, and a pale blue patch. The yellow streaks are also placed on the sides, and there's another white patch that's even smaller located closer to the bottom right side of the painting. It's lush, it moves in a way simulates your mind and perception of what it is your looking at. I also love the contrast two, the red coarse line and the splatter of chestnut breaks up the painting and creates another dynamic in the piece. Matt has a nice way of using warm colors to create mood and distance, giving it a cooler effect, even though you are looking at a warm painting. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So this is a framed print of 130 Commissions Rd, I'm assuming by William Emerson Gaydos. He's a photographer, I don't know if he also does art but while I was at the event he more of his photography up for display. I had to take the pic from the side because I didn't want my reflection to be in the photo. Stunning photo, I like the dark shadows of the side of the building how it creates balance with the nice blue sky that turns more white as your eyes glance down in the foreground. The rustic iron like building on the left side has this nice monochromatic tone the fits in nicely with the image. The white frame and the mat pulls everything together to make this photo very presentable. Love it! </div>

Here we have a sculpture piece by Cat Lamora. Very eclectic looking scupture, I love the flower illustration on the side of the bowl, with the red and white combination.

There's something to be said about a "collective" a group of artists who come together to do the one thing they enjoy and love which is "creation" plus with more heads you can accomplish more things, and you don't necessarily need to always have a call for submission because you have artists in your roster who can always put on a show. Me personally, if I were to be in a position to have a collective, I wouldn't want to have a gallery as well, because I would be focusing my efforts on getting my artists out there to tour different cities, and possibly countries for more exposure and potential clientele, but that's for another topic of conversation. </div>

Emily May Rose is also the face behind Northern Contemporary. Her work is stunning, and she also works in spray paint as well, making her creations known and seen by many. She sports a pink custom converse, an illustration of raccoons in an apartment being reckless, and a huge installation of her little raccoon guy on the left side. I was in love with her work when I had first seen it, and props to her for having an amazing outlet for artists to come and explore their creative and create a network of uber talented people.</div>

<br />
Last week I attended an art show at <b>Coldstream Fine Art</b> in support of a good artist friend of mine, <b>Mr. Hydde</b>! I guess I'm starting off my year with positive and happy vibes with his show<i><b> </b>"Happy Tyme"</i> I will talking about some of his amazing work, and also give you some information on the gallery: Coldstream Fine Art.<br />
<br />
Here's an exert about the exhibition written in the picture above:<br />
<br />
Coldstream Fine Art is pleased to present Happy Tyme, a new series of work by Toronto-based street artist Mr. Hydde. Working in his unmistakable style of picturescapes saturated with fluorescent colour, adorned with pathworks of words and detailed with chaotic geometries, Hydde sketches out a sardonic critique of happiness - both it's heights and its depths. As always, he subverts this apparently simple topic in various ways, leading us down unexpected paths in order to discern the origins of this primal, inarticulable and universal feeling.<br />
<br />
Prominent in this series are portraits of otherworldly beings rendered in Mr. Hydde's trademark psychedlic (and almost irradiated) palette. He plays with form, resolving facial features with simplified shapes and generating fantasical images that encourage close appreciation. The free-floating teeth in the titular painting cast shadows onto the rest of the head, which appears to have a jawbone, cheekbones and eye sockets. Everything appears to be tugging in a separate direction, energized by the various patterns, but the image projects cohesion - a smiling face in the midst of a tempest.<br />
<br />
Beyond the technique, the subject matter is a crucial facet of Hydde's approach, allowing him to enunciate his views on the feeling of happiness. He shows us multiple ways to get there, from the numbing (television) to the freeing (walking naked through the park) to the cathartic (giving someone the finger) and at the same time draws out an impressive and complex emotional range from his wildly smiling figures. While appearing carefree and comical, the work besheathes a serious line of questioning concerning the means and ends of this elusive happiness; what seems to be the simple joy of <i>Happy Tyme</i> is shown to be anything but.<br />

Mr. Hydde's ability to redefine form, shape and space is present here. His use of color is also interesting, with the warm peachy and pink tones not overpowering the cooler ones, Mr. Hydde creates a very perplexing and visually simulating piece. The characters here looks like their engaged in some type of dialogue as well. </div>

I hadn't realized but this is one of Mr. Hydde's older pieces. This takes me back to the ages of 11 to 15, and how excited I would be to wake up to watch cartoons on a saturday. The blue and purple letterman gives it such a nostalgic feeling, while the yellow on the tube television breaks up the painting quite nicely. </div>

I want to touch on the night of the event, it was a great opening night and the turn out was great! It was my first time being at Coldstream Fine Art, The gallery has a vast space, white broad walls, and bright hardwood floors. It has more of an upscale look and feel. People there were dressed exceptionally well, and the wine was nice. I met the gallery owner as well, he was nice and quickly wanted me to follow the social media. The gallery was well lit, and the artwork look amazing. </div>

I was talking to one of the girls who was working at the event that night and I had asked her<br />"Doesn't it look like you can take the face out of the painting, and still see the rest of the background?" You can really see how technical Mr. Hydde can get in his works. The face also reminds me of Osmosis Jones, the way the specks of purple, green and orange like cells or nucleus's float around in the face. The dark greyish background really brings magnifies the face as well, giving it almost a 3D look to the painting. </div>

Here we have a discombobulating face, seemingly coming apart. Another staple of Mr. Hydde's work is the letterman and the messaging he puts in his pieces. The yellow nose breaks up the image quite well, without the viewer being completely lost in the mauve and orange background. The dark grey and blues for the face of the image really gives it a nice contrasting effect with the background. It's a really peculiar and ambiguous subject, but it works so well with the entire painting. </div>

<br /><div>
This is a piece I created last year called <b>"GOLD SH!T"</b>, it's a piece based on symbolism, of the meaning of true value and the sacrifice/destruction of materialism that isn't valuable. My intent by creating this piece was to create some sort of dialogue between what people really deem value is, and the tackling the issues of superficiality of material wealth in today's world. What true wealth really means. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In March of this year, I sat down with<b> "Artist Unknown"</b> a duo of two guys (Val & Kyle) in Toronto's art community who does photography and videography work for the unknown and upcoming artists. I spoke about the meaning of this particular piece and provided some information about my background as an artist. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope to do more videos, and interviews in the future, it was a great experience as an artist to be able to not only expose your creations to the world, and putting a face to it, but also being able to speak about who you are and why you create what you create. It was a great experience, being that it was my first "artist" video feature. The most important thing I wanted to convey behind this piece and hopefully many others as I go further with my career is a message, a message that you can take away. Maybe a change of thought, or even a deeper look into how our world is and how people interact with issues like materialism, greed or even superficiality.</div>

Moses's style and creativity is really unique in that, any material, technique or form of artistic expression is his own. Also, his versatility in many different practices of art makes him a force to be reckon with. The many themes of his art work includes: Nature, Abstracts, Portraits and Landscapes.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Right off the bat, we have these two pieces. "Transition" sports a black background, and many different brush strokes of color. Here we have Moses displaying a face that's kinda muted out, while still keeping the structure and the defining outlines of the face. The lime green gives it a very electric, and static-like feel to the whole painting. The accents of the blush pink, the sunny yellow, and the sparks of red, elevates the imagery off of the white cast of color which almost feels the backbone of the portrait. Moses has a great eye for balance in his works, making the background very minimal while concentrating on one area, and building up that area, by using a process of layering on different accent colors, giving the image dimension and tonality. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With "Purple Rain" (which is one of my personal favorites from this showcase) Moses makes a very wash out - muted painting, and all the colors seems to just blend together giving this dreamy like quality. Making it look kind of opaque. The highlights of white on the tip of the brow, the nose, the lips, the teeth and the earrings, has this whole vintage vibe to it as it contrasts from the dark background, and the lack of color. I can't say that the influence of the imagery came from the paintings of the 1900's, but the feeling of this painting in my opinion kind of gives off that vibe. Given that this wash out muted painting has little to no color, still the portrayal of the subject and the huge purple cast of color over the subjects hair or head, really gives this hidden quality of glamour and shine that you wouldn't of realized unless you bother to look at every detail or just taking another look at it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Still, I think that the ability to layer on elements in a painting that creates another level of perception, that isn't quite there to the naked eye, is a remarkable skill set to have. Moses, given his artistic ability and his brushstroke technique and layering process, creates those types of visual elements that speaks to the level of his craft. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
"Harmony" features a portrait of a woman or girl (that appears to be) of an south-east Asian decent.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here Moses sticks to the muted-washed out background, but this time makes a gradient of shades of grey, black and white at the top half of the painting, while getting into muddier colors towards the middle, and then throwing in white and yellow as accents to the blue-ish undertone that makes up the rest of the background. Whether it's a pallet knife or hard broad brush strokes, Moses packs on a lot of simple structured patches of relatable colors together, without detailing any real features out the face. It's quite a nice balance from the realistic look of the hair, standing flat, but still pulling from all the other elements in the piece, which makes it that much more harmonious.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then we get to a piece called "Release" where Moses takes a different approach to the composition of the piece, instead of painting it vertically or horizontally, he paints the entire piece diagonally. This piece is more expressive than the other ones, highlighting the face in a fierce way with lots of energy and presence by the use of red on one side of the portrait while taking a more mellow approach on the other side of the face. The blue-like background on this one really resonates with the expressiveness that the piece provides. The sharp hints of white and yellow carries through and really shows that the subject could be in space of mental release by the airy blended white stokes that sits above the head of the portrait. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<br />
Which is one of Moses' many features to his work, especially the portrait works. He really gives off the vibe of nothingness and togetherness all at the same time. Leaving you intrigued about the meaning of his work, and even where his mind is at the time. Not to say that I know what he's thinking, but the overall themes and the way he creates might correlate to his thoughts at the time he creates his paintings.<br />

Whether it's a "30 x 40" piece or a "6 x 6", Moses consistently stays with the same style. His ability to successfully scale his work from a micro level to giant proportions, while being consistent with it, is what gives Moses the familiarity that he needs to continuously gather his audience every time he puts on a showcase. </div>

Take this piece, "Serenity" is quite smaller than the rest of the paintings Moses has at the show, and still his ability to create such detail and style. The composition of the subject isn't too imposing with the dark chestnut brown color, and the strikes of red paint rubbed against the face of the subject and the shoulders. From the large earring to the features of the face, here we have a painting that can be blown up to large sizes with the same values and composition without having to add anything to the pre-existing color range and tone. (That's not to say you can't build on more layers to the existing image if it were to be on a larger canvas/surface)<br />

Here we have a series of portrait paintings of different races of men, all of them have the same grey toned, washed out background, along with the muted coverings, really honing in on the expressions on each of the faces while maintaining the veil of mystery, and downplayed vibrancy that all of them pieces have in common.<br />

There were a series of these heavy textured, abstract-like pieces that were at the show. Even with a lot of paint on the canvas, and a distorted subject, Moses still finds a way to make the piece flow together with the cotton-candy color slabs of paint that circles at the bottom of the painting and on the distorted face. Also, the intense darker grays and reds and browns that make up most of the portrait. Finding a striking balance for the tonal grays in the background. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So, "Unbreakable" is one of Moses' newer pieces, and with this one, he defines the dark figure against the blue-ish gradient background. What's really interesting about this piece is, Moses throws in a bit of "cubism" in the face of the figure, making it very busy. Then he keeps most of the figure in a base color. While throwing in a bit of abstracting lines and dots here and there. Creating a very surreal-like tonality and a nice contrast between the darker colors and the lighter ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my opinion, interacting with a piece of art (depending on what your views are about art in general), if there's something that catch your attention or resonate with you, the influence of that visual experience helps you take away something that you've never thought would happen otherwise. It's almost as if the imagery in question kind of allows you to see another perspective. A perspective that's not your own, that's not bound to conventional wisdom, and goes beyond the everyday life of a single individual, and touches on many ideas, whether it's collectively or individually. The theme that Moses has presented to us, could be about self-reflection, self-analysis, or could be about culture, themes of identity of where you're roots are from, how that defines you, and how do you <b>INTERACT</b> with it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Regardless of what I say or think about this collection of works he has displayed here, it's his story and his expression that were ultimately experiencing. The moods and the vibes and the way he constructed his presentation is really why we're interacting with his artwork. </div>

Amanda S. Narain is a Toronto based artist who's unique style and brand is nature inspired, spiritual, bohemian, transcendent, energy focused and quite mystical with some of her imagery. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She makes abstract art, nature art, contemporary boho, illustration art, and fashion art.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She also live paints and does mural work, and has a few dozen shows under her belt both inside and outside of Canada. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We met at an art event a few years ago and became friends, and I'll let you one thing, she is dedicated! To her craft and her enterprise, and Friday night proved that, and it puts it all into perspective of what she's accomplished, and a glimpse into where she's taking her career. </div>

<b>The Freedom Factory</b> is a gallery in Toronto that is located at 22 Dovercourt Road. It is run by a mother daughter duo, Tiffany and Melanie. They do so much for the community and the artists who are trying to thrive and express themselves by showcasing their works of art, music, business, passion projects, pop-ups, release parties and more. They're a no commission gallery, which means any art sold goes directly to the artists. They also include spiritual practices and healing exercises and yoga classes at their gallery which promotes and helps people revitalize and get in touch with their inner soul and energy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I put an exert from Friday night that they posted at the show containing their message. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like most events and shows, you meet a lot of people, and some of those people have spaces and opportunities, which enables others to connect, build and grow in the community, and Freedom Factory is one of those spaces that always tries to do their absolute best to make their events as open and welcoming as possible. </div>

So, besides the art, which I will get to in a second, JUXTA also features two musicians of varying degrees, and they both performed a couple of songs that night, which was both inspiring and touching. The mellowness, the somberness and the overall vibes these two musicians were giving off that night made mood of the evening very warm and intimate.</div>

You don't see too many skyline paintings with the drip, now don't cha? As well as a couple of abstracts that I'm going to discuss. It's almost seems like the opening of an pseudo-art pop-up shop, with the traditional muse of a visual artist, who is sharing what it means to finally see your visions starting to manifest into something that might be bigger than it is sometime in the future. As for now, we're experiencing a showcase of an artist who has been working on a passion of hers since it's inception, and I'm interested to see where it will take Amanda and her art.<br />
<br />
I have to say though, she really stepped up on her art game, because her new pieces at this show has a lot of refinement to her style and offers more versatility in Amanda's art kit. Which we will now explore - first off, the ABSTRACTS.<br />

Amanda's combination of earthly and neutral colors, with the airy, light and cooler colors work seemingly well together as it creates a very dynamic and robust constitution. With "Love Is" there is some influence of cubism and futurism, as each of the lines are going in different directions with some lines parallel to each other. The colors are very harmonious together while giving quite a range from light to dark colors, which engages the eyes a lot more for its dynamic style and expression. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Just Be" has a very airy and cloudy-like background, the colors are somewhat muted, and on this one Amanda takes a page out of Jackson Pollock's book, and decides to splatter different color paint on top of the airy base, without the intensity, she creates circle/oval like motions on the canvas and letting it "just be" creating an expressive painting that draws the eyes to different corners of the image.</div>

Keep in mind that these paintings aren't the only paintings that were at the show. I decided to show a few of the paintings, in different styles that Amanda has to offer. "Energy Source" is a landscape piece that takes place on a beach, with parting waves of water and a huge puffy cloud that completely takes over the background, and what appears to be light strokes coming from the other side of the cloud. It plays on the idea that such places like the beach and open areas of scenery and environment gives off energy, which helps for re-vitalization and rejuvenation, in my opinion. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Visions" was first shown at Amanda's first art show, where she had put it up to be raffled off. one of the many themes in her nature work is the depiction of the lion, and the regal presentation of this particular animal. </div>

As for the spiritual and Boho aspect of her work, Amanda is also known for her dot work in her pieces, which I will go into more once we get to her illustrations, but I think it's one of her secrets in making her pieces really come alive as she uses elements of animals, or nature itself and fuses it with the dots, giving it the feeling of energy particles coming together and detailing the image, which send off vibes of spirituality in her works. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Alien Child" is a portrait piece of a colorful silhouette of an alien-like figure with toned down colors of different hues of blues and purples in the background as well as shades of black and grey on the left side of the painting. It reminds me of the northern lights the way she creates the rocking motions of the white paint contrasting the darker hues that bounces off the dot work. It also looks like the alien silhouette is infused with the ground in the image. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Portal" is a smaller abstract piece that has a warmer feel to it, as she uses the primary colors to create a flavorful sway by making them coexist with each other, without letting one color dominate over the others, maintaining each identity of colors. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Still" is one of those pieces that represents spirituality in a few different aspects. First we have an elephant depicted. Elephants are a symbolism for different things in certain cultures. In Hindu, an elephant is found in the form of a "Ganesha". It's primary symbolic meanings are as follows: <b>Pride</b>, <b>power, dignity, royalty</b> and <b>reliability</b>. In China, the Elephant is a Chinese symbol which represents: <b>Happiness, good luck</b> and <b>longevity</b>. On the elephant we can see that it has all seven chakras, from it's trunk to the top of it's head. If you don't know the meaning of what the chakras represent or what chakras are, this link <a href="http://www.chakras.info/chakra-colors/" target="_blank">Click Here</a> will explain them to you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A bamboo stick, a leaf, a couple of rocks and a candle is also depicted, which plays on the idea of healing practices like yoga and reiki and other forms of spirituality (which also goes together with Freedom Factory's spirituality themes). "Love and to be loved" can be seen written in white and sprinkled across the painting, which can promote the idea of self-love or universal love by allowing yourself to heal and to be healed through practicing to allow yourself to let go and allow for the transfer of positive and uplifting energy. </div>

So, I have to touch one some of the illustration pieces before I end this post, and I want to talk about the dot work I had mentioned earlier on. As, the dot work is one of Amanda's staples in her art work it gives a very rough but also clean look to her works. The range in how close together and spaced out each cluster of dots are situated is also another thing to note, which is really telling for Amanda's use of intensity, as you see in the "Che" piece for example. Especially when it comes to the use of color like in the piece "Stargazer"</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
So, the concept of the overall show is to showcase a 'Juxtaposition', in which Amanda gives you three different styles of artwork, that all correlate to each other, while maintaining it's own genre individually. From the set up, to the music, the art and the fashion, really gives a sense of allowing contrasting ideas to live in one space and to breathe life into an artist's ability to conceptualize variety in a way that allows the appreciation of artistic ability in one artist. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You know what they say, "variety is the spice of life" and Amanda has sprinkled the spice of variety, and contrast into this wonderful showcase of sorts. As she's starting to fully embrace fashion as one of the rising frontiers in her career, I hope to see more unique fashion ideas from her and hoping to see where she will take her art as well, since she's literally taking her traditional methods of making art and transferring it to different mediums, fabrics, textiles and more. </div>

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, cats and dogs! I would like to announce that <b>I'M BACK!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's been 2 years since I've posted and not because I didn't want to, or I forgot. It's because I lost this beautiful site of mine, and I had to figure out how to get it back. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was a long process y'all, and looking back on it now there was a couple of steps that I didn't have to take, and I was going to make a brand new site all together, but I felt like I invested too much time, money, and effort to let what I built fall to the wayside. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This website is everything to me, because of what it stands for. So, losing it was a bit disappointing.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although I was persistent, and patient and now it all paid off because I can return to what I was doing before, which is showcasing my cartoons and my portraits, and all the events and shows that I attend. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With that said,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I attended an event last night on behalf of a friend that I will be blogging about tomorrow ! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Be on the lookout for that, and catch you on the flip side folks ! </div>

<br />
Welcome to Ottawa, where the Parliament play and Byward Market is on the way.<br />
<br />
This was my first time ever going to Ottawa, and to tell you the honest truth, I didn't get to see shit!<br />
I probably only seen a fraction of the city, which sucks, cause I would love to see all of it. It would be very cool, although the only cool time I was having was the cold wind that was making my feet cold and... RAW!!<br />
<br />
After my first exhibition with the RAW organization back in March, I told myself that if I was to ever exhibit with them again, I would want the experience one of their shows out of town, because the opportunity is better and the experience along with the networking would be super dope!<br />
<br />
<br />
In the last few months, certain things have happened to me regarding some misplaced/loss of artwork which created a very tough and stressful situation. It's a long story that I would have to get into another time. I teeter tottered back and forth for a couple of weeks, due to the tragedy I had to face. I had thought to myself, there's no way. I can't possibly do it without having all of my artwork ready to go and present.<br />
<br />
I had told one of my fellow raw artist and staff member that I might not attend the show. He had told the director that I might not show up.<br />
<br />
At the last second, I thought of how much I really wanted to go, and how I missed a couple of shows due to the same problem that I was going through presently.<br />
<br />
I said... Fuck it, I'll stick it out and I will go experience what Ottawa has to offer and participate in this Raw showcase. I had to do it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For those who don't have an idea of RAW is... RAW (Natural Born Artists) is an international organization that was built by artists, for artists. They specialize in visual art, fashion, music, film, photography, makeup and accessories. So many different types and facets of art and creativity can be seen from this event. Believe me, it's one of the most artistic and unique types of events you can see.<br />
<br />
Raw also brings together a community full of creatives who have a chance to display to their talents to the city they belong to. These artists also have a chance to also travel across different cities and countries to display their talents. So, that means lots of opportunity to display talent and to see talent.<br />

The make-up artist is the lovely lady in the black, whose name is<br />
Alina Sauve! She's not only just a make-up artist, she also does body art<br />
and judging by the way her models looked that night, you can clearly tell<br />
she's pretty bad ass and very talented at what she does. She was also<br />
doing some henna on people's hands too. Shouts out to Alina!!!<br />

There was so many great talent in Ottawa. I was so happy that I was apart of it. There were also musical performances, Our Host Jack Von-Spade was hosting, epic magician btw. I had a great night, the vibe was good, the energy that the crowd had was very lighthearted and positive. The fashion show was very interesting, it gave you a look into different mixtures, different things, from body paint and visual effects to high-class to oriental traditional fashion wear, all by different creative designers and make-up artists. It was very cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's just the beginning of my journey to becoming an established artist. An artist that's able to put his own unique spin and bent to the world of art and the communities that surrounds itself in the mystical, the spiritual and the the most obvious... the visionary. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm grateful that people can appreciate the artists, their works and are able to have a dialogue with them. I'm even more grateful when an artist is able to sell their work, profiting off the fruits of their labor and the style that represents them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cause at the end of the day, who the person is, is what really makes you want to support them. Their attitude, their way of being. If you can identify with them, then maybe their creations can be worth something to you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyways, I'm so thrilled that I got to go to Ottawa. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Well if you do, The Super Wonder Gallery has an scary showcase over the weekend of talent displaying Monsters. It was pretty creepy if I do say so myself. Unfortunately, I was not able to be apart of the show, but I was able to come through and show some support to those that were there. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
At the gallery we also had some sexy performances who visually stimulated our minds by making all the creatures come alive on stage which were impressive. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Enough of me talking. Let me show you some Monsters!! </div>

I'm sorry, but Super Wonder Gallery, Christian Aldo and the community always comes together to have the greatest of nights and they always put their heart and soul into what they do. I'm so happy to have come out and witness what they have cooking in their gallery and the creative souls that participates. </div>

Welcome folks,<br />
<br />
So, this past Friday and Saturday I attended the Super Naughty Summer Show at the Super Wonder Gallery.<br />
<br />
That was my first time doing the "Super Naughty Show" and my 3rd time showcasing my talents at the gallery. Lovely... Another tally on the art show experience paper! which again more than anything I'm still learning a lot about shows, show casing, networking and overall making yourself more presentable and established.<br />
<br />
Even though most of the time I'm in la la land, but besides being more professional, put-together and skillful, both nights of the Super Naughty Summer Show was incredible.<br />
<br />
The turn out for both nights were amazing!<br />
<br />
At the show they had a lot of dope ass erotic, sexy, raunchy, exciting and most exposed pieces of work you most normally wouldn't see at an art show. Based on the theme, that's when all the freaky shit comes out, and since it's on a friday and saturday night, you get to see the freakiest!<br />
<br />
And not only that! There were also performances and appearances at the show!<br />
<br />
But first thing first!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Pallet Knife is a really good tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way this is presented reminds me of a thumb-nail image </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on a porn site. I love the warm colors on this painting, the splashes of texture </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gives it a very grounded feeling of traditionalism. The subject matter gives it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a feel of an old-school dominance and a new school expression of sexuality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the white used for the windows (what I think it is) kind of neutralizes the dark</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
colors, the blue rests nicely on the dark background and the red marks breaks </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it up very well.<br />
This piece is dope as fuck! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As most of you know the craziness of the United States </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reached a new level of cray cray and with Donald Trump out there </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
campaigning like a bigoted asshole, there's always a way to take him down </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a notch, and the quickest way to do that? Is through his penis. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, this is a hilarious and a very funny piece of art. </div>

I couldn't imagine myself using that if it was usable </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but um, this is a wonderful exotic piece of epic proportions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what can you say? when you make a physical installation </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you make an art piece that is bound to have people dart their eyes </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
over and take a look. I think Craig did an amazing job and made </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
people really wonder how you would use that if it was usable</div>

That's one heck of an art piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
the word kinky to the next level. Now, we got some octopus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sea creature beastality shit going on. I love her glitter art </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
really do, this was one of my favorites. Alex is also well known, </div>

She's a thriving artist, who is also in charge of the event, ETA Awards.</div>

entitled: "Knocker"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This really is a knocker! I really like the bronze color </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with that minty green, it has a very elegant contrast. Plus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the piercing with the ball, very, very naughty. That's more </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
than a handful! I like the detailing in the cup of the breast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can respect sculpture artists because they take a lot of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
time to plan out to visual an idea and to create a physical form. </div>

Mysteriousness is also apart of exotica </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and clearly we got too girls licking an expressive cover up dong</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
honestly just the tongue action alone is dope as fuck</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like that just because it's not a traditional painting that it can </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
still make the impact and also resonate with viewer eyes </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and damn right she looks free, for a great painting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it sure shouldn't be. What I love about this piece </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in particular is the fact that it's a very smooth </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and blended piece. Like Jimmy must have the hands </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of an angel cause it's very clean. from the sky </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the waves in the background it's very fluid </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and light. The subject is also flowing along as well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it gives a very mysterious quality, it's like "I wonder what her face looks like" </div>

Shout out Miss Sara Di Clemente! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here we have two of her insanely kinky paintings </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The detailing and use of black and grey is fanastic </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
straps, whips, handcuffs and masks! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
really love the lipstick color on her first piece! </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
There was also many performances both nights at the Gallery and it was pretty amazing. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Who doesn't want to see a strip tease, some pole action, flaming tits and slam poetry. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sorry guys, I was too deeply invested in what I was watching to take enough pictures to show y'all all of the performances, but I might later on upload the video that I have. It was truly a sexy ass art show. I was so happy to be apart of it like always I mean this feels like a bench mark on my part. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From last years random drop in at the gallery to this year being included in 3 shows means a lot to me, and constantly meeting new people, bumping into different artists and media makers you can say that I'm getting somewhere and there's more in store. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I usually do like a "stand out" piece that I really love and blah blah blah... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but due to the all the pieces being uniquely expressive and amazingly super dope, I don't really have an stand out piece, if anything it would be the "American Standard" by Craig Mahood... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but representing Idiot Box Cat and myself I can't forget my own work(s) of art... </div>

This piece is by Richie Bubb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
entitled: "Stacie Glow" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, i'm guessing this is the part where I have to explain myself? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, this is a character I came up with. Her name is Stacie Glow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she's a porn star and apart of a new comic series I'll be coming up with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the near future. Anyways, what I like most about my piece of art </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is the color! The playfulness and the sheer fun that this piece brings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's exoticism is founded in the way I used certain foods to entertain </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the idea of sex in a very subtle but also in a direct way once you understand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the symbolism behind it. Yes, her tongue is long. Yes, that is a dildo on her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
butt and breasts. I don't think it would a metal one though! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, In closing. The Super Summer Naughty Show was stellar! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Anytime you want to see something off-the-wall, creative, different and very out there, come to the Super Wonder Gallery. Amazing crowd of people and they always have a good time. Lots of events! As for this post is concerned we're at the end, and once again I have another tally to put towards my journey as an creative! </div>

<br />
So, I remember I did a post about church mural I did back in 2013. I had a hook up through someone I knew to do a Angel Gabriel and a mermaid. Which was a great experience, I guess the only thing that threw me off about the experience is the monetary aspect of it. Beside that, I was stoked to paint a mural on a wall for a whole community to see and admire.<br />
<br />
Now...<br />
<br />
<br />
Fast forward to 2016, where I've added a few more digits to my age, and a few art shows under my belt, and I get another request to do another church mural. I got contacted by a friend of mine I knew back in highschool, to do a mural for his church.<br />
<br />
Which I agreed, because why not right? It will only push me out there more as an artist and to expand my limitations and my talents, not only for my sake, but for others that want some pretty art in their space.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, I am working on this project that has a meaningful message behind it. The community of the church is geared towards bringing together everyone from around the globe to create a message of world peace, starting from their community and branching out into the world out there.<br />
<br />
Which, now a days is getting more crazier...<br />
<br />
"Reaching Our Community and Beyond" is the tagline.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is when I first started, I had to measure this massive fucking wall. It's pretty huge for a good size mural. It's a normal size back drop for any church, but since it's what I'm working with, I really had to make sure I center it just right. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
That's the rough sketch of the massive globe that will be on the wall. </div>

This is when I started to lay down the blue for the water. The blending process will take me some time because I want to make sure I get the depth of the water towards the bottom and top. The lighter parts of the water will go towards the middle, as most light will tend to settle there. </div>

As you can see now, i finished the base color for the water. On a 15 feet wall, it looks fucking dope. I'm liking the progress on this so far, because you can clearly tell it's a globe and you can possibly point out the continents on the globe (Like the big chuck of blank space closer to the right is Africa) </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I had people watching me. Which is kind of oddly weird for me, just because I'm not use to people watching me paint/draw. It was interesting, cause I kind of think it's a good thing to have an audience to watch you do what you do. I kind of felt like a big deal. Then again, they're really counting on me to make this project mint. </div>

Here's a side view of me painting the globe, doesn't it look so fucking dope? I think so. The blank space in the middle is where I'm going to put the word "community"... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Which is something that I have to explain, on either side of the globe the message will be spread out and "community" in the middle will be the focal point. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
with that being said... </div>

This is the finished result of my efforts for the church's message! It took me literally a month<br />
to complete. The globe came out magnificently well and the letterman wasn't that bad. For my<br />
second mural I gotta give myself a pat on the back.<br />

The Super-Duper Show.<br />
<br />
I am so pleased to say that my work has finally made it to a gallery show!<br />
<br />
So, a little background story...<br />
<br />
I had done a post a year ago about me attending the Super Wonder Gallery. I had spoke with the Curator about networking and sending my work to him. As time passed, I didn't have the time to compile the pieces I wanted, so I didn't rise to the occasion to send him anything.<br />
<br />
I participated in the Raw Showcase, and I saw Christian (Curator) there. He said, "I want you to be in this Super Hero and Super Villain show that I am putting together".<br />
<br />
and the rest is history.<br />
<br />
Anyways, my work finally made it to an gallery, and needless to say I am thrilled. Although, there was so many other talented artists who had some amazing pieces. The Super-Duper Show is inspired by super heroes and super villains. There was a lot of Batman's, Superman's and more...<br />

Shout out my dude Moses Salihou who had three pieces in the show</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
these two are the Superman and Batman, and he also has Spiderman. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like Moses's abstract style of painting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He knows how to make block patterns blend well together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had told me the Super hero theme was quite the challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but I think that they came out very dope! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You would have to be there to actually see this piece in person. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The artist had done background overlays to give off a 3D like effect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems like a thick heavy gloss was added to the painting, also giving </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an added effect to how it is seen. Superhero and naughty combined.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I really like this work, and a lot of others who were there. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the composition, the form of the female figure and the shading </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is incredible. that shade of orange over green has an earthly sexiness. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She also puts a hint of burgundy in the background to give a subtle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but dangerous sex appeal that "ivy" has. </div>

This piece is by Mr. Hyde<br />
Entitled: "K-Pow!"<br />
<br />
Very cartoony feel. I think this is a cool piece<br />
because it illustrates the energy of that punch, can you<br />
imagine that feel from getting punched from that hand?<br />
Nah, I don't think you want to. All jokes aside<br />
Mr. Hyde really put in detail and an amazing colorful<br />
disposition of this piece. K-Pow!<br />

The two black pieces there are from the same artist<br />
but the second one is my favorite.<br />
<br />
Entitled: "Venom"<br />
The piece is by Astrid<br />
<br />
Just the whole dark element, the simplicity and how intense<br />
this piece illustrates is superb. Like I can't see how this couldn't<br />
be in a show like this. The is dope no doubt.<br />

<br />
This would be the stand-out piece to many. As you can see,<br />
it has a red sticker on it, which means it's SOLD!<br />
<br />
This piece is by Lauralee Kelloway<br />
Entitled: "Why So Serious?"<br />
<br />
This Joker/Heath Ledger tribute is absolutely amazing.<br />
The detail that Lauralee puts into it is so dope. She really<br />
did her thing here, and the fact that he has this jaded stare<br />
him look even more of a villain that he already is.<br />
<br />
That's awesome.<br />

This piece is by Alex Karakis<br />
Entitled: "Wonder Licker"<br />
<br />
Now, if you don't look at this and go "Wow!"<br />
I don't know what will. What I want to know is,<br />
how was he able to make it sparkle and shine like that.<br />
Alex puts a blend of Pop-Art and Super-heroism in a mix<br />
<br />
and comes out licker for everyone to wonder...<br />
I love the newness of it's style. Right on!<br />

This is by Sara Di Clemente<br />
Entitled: "Haryquin Destroys T.O."<br />
<br />
This is cool, I like how the CN is left on the ground like that<br />
as Quin is escaping across the sky. Great use of composition and<br />
stunning colors, the use of warm and cool is something that brought here.<br />
and the perspective on the hammer is so dope when you look at how<br />
it cuts off close from the corner of the painting. <br />

Christian Aldo even put his own piece in there<br />
The bust of Superman, that's pretty cool!<br />
<br />
<br />
The Super Duper Show was loads of fun and it was very creatively stimulating.<br />
Everybody there, including myself thought the set up was so fun.<br />

Now, for the stand out piece.<br />
<br />
I really like this piece, because it's sculpture, and it's probably one of most<br />
unique ways i've ever seen this character re-created in terms of fan art.<br />
<br />

This piece is by Brain Keller<br />
Entitled: "Venom"<br />
<br />
He probably used hot glue and a whole lot of knifes or something<br />
on this one, because the way he formed his head is crazy. The way he depicted<br />
Venom here is ridiculous (in terms of creativity) how he did the eyes was amazing.<br />
I really like shit like this because it's has spunk. Brain's definitely talented at sculpting<br />
<br />
Cause that's incredible.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
So, in closing... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I would like to say I had a great time at the gallery. I'm so thankful and stoked that I finally got to be apart of this and I would love to be in many shows to come. It all goes to show that things can all change in a year as long as you think positively, work hard and put in the effort. No dope work goes unnoticed. It's all about what you want out of your own creations that can take you places. I've learned that once you get the ball rolling, no matter what is in your way you can't let that ball stop from reaching it's end goal. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I mean we are all artists and creators who's trying to give the world a little color, more definition. Seeing things from another angle or perspective, opposed to just sitting in a world of dark and light. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We had fun at the event, for the community to get involved at galleries like this is super cool and I hope that it just continues to make our city be one of the best in terms of how loud our art is.... </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm proud to say that I've successfully made it to a big event like RAW. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm so thrilled and overjoyed that this has happened. Mr. Outsyder has his booth prepared and ready. Back when I was a kid, I never really put much effort into making big plans and creating a presentation to a crowd. I never thought I could do it, but now I look back and realized that the effort that I put into presenting my talents paid off at this amazing show. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The show is called Signatures, held at the Maison Mercer venue in downtown Toronto. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
RAW: Natural Born Artists, is an organization that bases itself on displaying Visual Artists, Fashionistas, photographers, hair stylists, musicians and really anyone with an artistic bent and creativity. The signatures show was incredible. Michelle, the director of RAW did a fantastic job at putting all of this together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so honored to be apart of the world. I got to see what real underground artistry looks like. I got to experience how it feels to display your talent to an audience, and how the love is received. </div>

Everybody at the show did their thing. It was incredible to be surrounded by talented creatives who displayed their talents to a larger audience. Although, it was my first RAW showcase I kind of have the feeling of really accomplishing something that I never thought I could do. </div>

<br />To end this off, I am so grateful for participating in this tremendous show. I'm stoked to be born an artist and to give the world a look into my world of such talent. I think everyone, no matter who they are should be thankful for the skills and talents they possess as well as who they are as an individual. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I thank the RAW organization for giving me the opportunity to be apart of this show, the director, Michelle for reaching out and putting me in the show. I know I haven't been blogging much, I hope this episode does much justice for the lack of blogging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also, I sold a few prints at the show which was an added bonus... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All I have to say is, it's important to have a vision for what you want out of life, and to build on that to be successful in life. Each and every one of us can become what we want to be, we just gotta work hard and put forth the effort to make dreams become reality. Nothing really happens overnight. It happens over time. </div>

Due to time restraints, I was not able to attend the 'Futures' show held by RAW.<br />
<br />
But, I have been offered another opportunity to be involved in another show held by RAW entitled: Signatures!<br />
<br />
I'm not going to make this a long post, but what I will say is that I'm going to be showing a couple celebrity portraits and also selling prints of such. The show will be held at <b>Maison Mercer on March 17th (St. Patrick Day)</b> from <b>8PM to 2AM </b><br />

Hey there folks,<br />
<br />
From everyone at Idiot Box Cat, we would like to wish you Happy Holidays! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or any other celebration during the holiday times, seasons greetings.<br />
<br />
You know more than anything else, it's a time to spend with family and friends, as well as anybody who's in need of some company as these are the times of giving and sharing and bonding as well.<br />
The end of the year marks a special place in our hearts because the start of a new year means that we are starting another chapter in our lives. You know how things can change all in a year and it's important to realize that it's a time to reflect on what has happened in the past 12 months and how far we have come and how far we still have to go in our personal or professional journey.<br />
<br />
So, as we end off the year with a lot of drinking, food, family comfort and the joyous atmosphere from those around us, I would like to say: Stay safe and enjoy the blessings from those around us and above us.<br />
<br />
But, before I end off this post, I have a comic for you guys...<br />
<br />

<br />
Hey there folks,<br />
<br />
Rizey Bubbalicious a.k.a Mr Outsyder will be one of the many artists who will be participating in the January 2016 RAW show at the Mod Club in Toronto, Ontario (Holla!)<br />
<br />
I am so stoked.<br />
<br />
So, a little background on this feature that I am involved in. When I was at the Pancakes and Booze show in October, unknown to my knowledge, there was a scout there. As you know when you attend events that you are apart of there's tons and tons of people, and you never know who's who. I was there trying to do my thing, showing people my work and trying to connect with other like-minded artists, sell work and trying to have a good time.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, there was a scout there who happened to like my work. This person is apart of a big artistic organization called: RAW.<br />
<br />
She reached out to me a month and a half later to discuss with me an opportunity to be apart of this collective of artists, fashion designers, make-up artists, musicians, performance artists and etc. Which I gladly offered because I mean, if I wanna go anywhere I'm going to have to get as much exposure as I can.<br />
<br />
With that being said, it just so happens that, RAW was having a show in the city of Toronto on January 15th! (What a way to start of the new year) I am so stoked that I am going to be apart of this amazing show. <br />
<br />
There's just one thing that I have to do in order to make this even a better experience. I have to sell Tickets! Yes, I have to become a salesman and sell these tickets for the show.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
