View my complete profile. Visit my artist website:. Insist upon yourself. Be Original. I really think it's important to be in a situation, both in art and in life, where you don't understand what is going on. - John Cage. Every set that I did in the gym, every repetition I did on chin-ups or on squats with 500 pounds, I never said to myself, ‘Oh my God, another rep.' I said, ‘Yes! Another rep, another rep,' because that will make my dream turn into reality. You act enthusiastic until you make it a habit.

Spotlight on.Douglas Levine. I'm so happy to be able to share this interview with you! This person really inspires, encourages and supports me on a daily basis. His name is Douglas Levine. Once, I overheard him with a piano student saying, "Don't practice like a farm animal. You're hitting your head against the wall like a cow." I wrote that down in my sketchbook, and have a good laugh at it every so often. How do you maintain such intense focus on your work? Do you ever get bored with what you're doing?

paper tiger: Amusements
http://thelaurenbraun.blogspot.com/2011/06/amusements.html
I took this photograph last summer at a fair in Lewiston, NY- but it looks so retro- like it could have been taken in 1952. I like it. Last week was my birthday, and on Friday, we went to Kennywood. The historic amusement park in Pittsburgh. We rode most of the roller coasters and screamed in joy and terror. I ate a corn dog for the first time in my life. It was disgusting and delicious simultaneously! By the end of the day we were withered and exhausted from all the fun. View my complete profile. Inspir...

Spotlight on.Honey S. Lapcharoen. Tell me about all of your interests, ie. baking, cats, art, music, poetry, etc. My love of music fuels all of my other interests. It scares me to think about how lost I'd be without my personal soundtrack. I love to write, to work in the garden, to cook, and I do all of those things while listening to my favorite bands. I connect some of the most important experiences of my life to particular songs, lyrics, and voices. What is the mission of your thesis? You started off ...

http://thelaurenbraun.blogspot.com/2009/06/spotlight-onisidro-blasco.html
Spotlight on.Isidro Blasco. Shanghai Planet, 2008). Your work combines elements of photography, collage and sculpture and I love how it plays with indoor/outdoor space and architectural space both within the photographs and as completed works on exhibit. Can you talk about how you started working in this way? How is your work changing? What part of your art practice is the most fun for you? What part do you like the least? Do you make a plan or think of everything as an experiment? Thank you, Isidro!
