By: Malcolm Ford This image evokes a lot of emotions from the sporadic and bold use of these wild and swaying brush strokes to create such an interesting abstraction. It “looks” like a caravan by some stretch of the imagination, maybe even a circus caravan by the wheel in the lower half of the paintingContinue reading “The Caravan by Ali Banisadr”

Monday Media Minute: Balan’s Wonderworld (2021)
One game that I’ve been keeping in the back of my mind since I first saw it would definitely have to be Balan’s Wonderworld. I’m unaccustomed to this game’s gameplay and story, but it’s art style, music, and premise are all too familiar. This game has carried a nostalgic taste in my mouth since IContinue reading “Monday Media Minute: Balan’s Wonderworld (2021)”
Everydays:The First 5000 Days by Beeple
By: Malcolm Ford This picture speaks to the scale of what can be accomplished with the combination of years of effort. It’s simultaneously hopelessly inspiring and soul crushingly at the same. A reminder of what can be accomplished each day and something I struggle to find the time for somehow. While it’s hard to pickContinue reading “Everydays:The First 5000 Days by Beeple”
“The Moon” by Ling Jian
By: Malcolm Ford Just a beautiful personification of the celestial body. If that’s the exact effect the artist was going for. The overall pose reminds me of the arc the moon will follow at night. The expression she gives off is one of true disinterest, as if the viewer is the second thought in herContinue reading ““The Moon” by Ling Jian”
“Brushstroke Chair and Ottoman” by Roy Lichtenstein
By: Malcolm Ford A truly intricate piece of work with a very interesting but simple design. Reminds me of sludge or pond scum flowing down a strong river. The base of the chair and ottoman perfectly mimic the action of the roots of the tree trying to grasp onto and return to the soil likeContinue reading ““Brushstroke Chair and Ottoman” by Roy Lichtenstein”
“Home in the Mountains” by Catherine Haggarty
By: Malcolm Ford I find this piece really interesting in how it is abstract and almost doodle-like. Personally, I just see a mixture of a lot of jagged or sharp teeth and a myriad of faces along with a few shapes and forms like the foxes or the honey badger among other things. There isContinue reading ““Home in the Mountains” by Catherine Haggarty”

“Walk the Light” Genesis Tramaine
by: Malcolm Ford It’s hard to describe Genesis Tramaine’s specific style for portraiture but maybe that’s the point of their work. It’s easy to see just from the way it looks how it was created with raw emotion and expression but also deep consideration of what to highlight or draw attention to in that portrait,Continue reading ““Walk the Light” Genesis Tramaine”

Artistically Speaking: De Blob
Hey, so today I wanna talk about a video game that has been a part of my life since childhood and apparently everyone else’s too! Coming out originally in 2008, De blob is a platformer that has a small irregularly shaped blob (hence the name) that has the power to color the world that heContinue reading “Artistically Speaking: De Blob”
