Scream Series

 

 

SCREAM 1,  2009

SCREAM 2,  2009

I  pose a question, to better understand why human beings must suffer to advance.  Why is a scream sometimes for happiness or triumph? Why is a scream sometimes for pain and suffering? Do these two emotions have a connection or is this just  random.  We all come to a time where suffer plays a dramatic part in who we become and which direction we may travel…..

Take a look at these two painting and tell me if the woman is upset for the lost of a child, or if that child just won a huge race. Tell me if the man just got shot in the leg or if he just won the lottery.

2014 Mission

OK I'll start off with some New years Mission for 2014.
1. Spent more time with the wife and kids. We all get so caught up in day to day crap family some times falls behind and before we know it its gone. I plan on spent very second I can, you never know when you are up, better make the best of the now. Plus they deserve it they put up with me. That in it self is a task.
2. Fix my credit and financial status. I never understood how poor credit can effect very aspect of your life till this past year. No more of that crap, time to tighten up. Consolidation of some loans, reduction of some bills, Sallie Mae, need I say more. Any advise out there?
3. Improve my Health. Stop standing around thinking I'm superman and start doing something about it, you know eat right, and workout a bit. The health issues of this past year helped with this brain storm too. You can only run so far before life catches you.
4. Spent more time with friend. We are not getting younger and over the years friendship have drifted due to work, family etc. Friend are very important they provide support, communication, and most of all stress relief.
5. Design and Art schdule for the year of 2014: I can't wait to start some new work for 2014. I just moved into a space where I have a studio space and I'm itching. I look forward to creating some public murals this year so if anyone might have a space open give me a ring. Also looking to continue my personal mural project, so if anyone might be interested???? On a home side I can't wait to start the redesign of our new home, room by room, and of course the customization of my JEEP.
These are the main few. Not in any specific order but all important and needed for my insanity .

ARTISTIC UNDERSTANDING

I have to say something about this. So I posted a painting on a Artist website that I giving away for the holiday. I had someone contact me on messager say it was sexually explicit and asked me to take it down. Hears the kicker he's an artist and photographer, and producer. I would think an artist would have a more open mind about sexual based art work, but I guess I was wrong. Just to clarify the series in question is called 213AOE series, and its based on the exploitation of women and men based on our make-up as humans. It based on the Art of exaggeration, where human beings exaggerate parts of their body for all kinds of psychological reasons (acceptance, success, culture, etc. etc. etc.) I reposted on Facebook not because I'm saying F you to the other artist I want to see what other artist feedback is on the subject.

BLUE FLAG PROJECT

SEPT. 11, 2001: I REMEMBER WORKING FOR THE MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE. WE WERE PICKING SOMEONE UP FROM THE ER @ JACKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN MIAMI, ONE OF THE BUSIEST AND LOUDEST ER IN THE TRI-COUNTY AREA. AS WE WALKED IN AN UNSETTLING SILENCE FELL OVER THE ROOM, EVERY ONES FACES (PATIENTS, NURSES, & DOCTORS WAS FIXED ON THE TV SCREEN. IT LITERALLY FELT LIKE THE APOCALYPSE

OF COURSE AMERICA WENT ON THE DEFENSIVE AND INVADED AFGHANISTAN LOOKING FOR THE SAME PEOPLE THEY SUPPORT SEVERAL YEARS EARLIER BY SUPPLYING THEM WITH WEAPONS. BUT NONE THE LESS, I SUPPORTED THE TROOPS 110%, THOSE GUYS WERE FIGHTING A WAR AMERICA STARTED, AND AS A RESULT SO MANY MEN AND WOMEN HAVE DIED IN BATTLE OR BY SUICIDE, FOR WHAT A PATCH OF OIL NEW "US SOIL".  WAS IN FULL SWING. THAN OF COURSE SEVERAL MINUTES LATER THE SECOND PLANE HIT AND AMERICA KNOW THIS WAS NO ACCIDENT THIS WAS SOME KIND OF ATTACK.

WHEN THIS STARTED I DETERMINED I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE TROOPS TO SHOW SUPPORT AND THIS IS WHERE THE BLUE FLAG PROJECT BEGAN. I STENCIL A BLUE FLAG EVERYWHERE I WHEN. IT SYMBOLIZED SUPPORT AND HONOR FOR OUR TROOPER BUT NOT FOR THE BLOOD SHED OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

AFTER 13 YEARS THE FLAG STILL STANDS IN FRONT OF THE US ARMORY. FADED AND IN NEED OF REPAIR BUT NEVER COVERED OR CROSSED OVER.

IN 2012 MY GRANDFATHER PASSED. IT HIT ME MUCH HARDER THAN I THOUGHT IT MIGHT AND I BEGAN TO REALIZE THE MORTALITY OF US ALL. HE LEFT MY GRANDMOTHER WITH SUPPORT FINANCIAL AND WITH SEVERAL HOMES TO LIVE IN. HE LEFT HIS CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WITH A SENSE OF WELL BEING AND RESPECT FOR A MAN THAT SELDOM SPOKEN, BUT WHEN HE DID IT MADE YOU SMILE. I MODEL MYSELF OFF HIS TEACHINGS AND HOPE I CAN BE SO INFLUENTIAL TO MY KIDS. HE WAS ALSO A MILITARY MAN AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING FOR MY GRANDMOTHER TO SHOW THE RESPECT I HAVE FOR HIM. I DECIDED TO INCORPORATE THE BLUE FLAG PROJECT INTO THIS WORK, DUE TO THE FACT THAT EVERYONE THAT GIVES UP THEIR LIVES FOR A CAUSE OR A COUNTY DESERVES HONOR. I ALSO INCORPORATED SEVERAL OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN INFLUENTIAL IN MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHER AMERICANS. MILEY A GREAT FRIEND CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE NAVY, LANA A NEW FRIEND CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE COAST GUARD, HECTOR HERNANDEZ, MY FATHER-IN-LAW, SERVED IN THE AIR FORCE, AND OF COURSE PAPA JOE SERVED IN ARMY AS A DOCTOR.

UNFORTUNATELY I WAS DENIED THE MURAL PROJECT AT THE ARMORY. PER THE SERGEANT THEY ARE PLANNING ON REMOVING THE BARRICADES AND ADDING A FENCE, WHICH WOULD DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF DOING A MURAL ANY HOW. MAYBE A VIDEO TIME LAPSE AND A SECOND MURAL WHO KNOWS.....5.....

JAHLINX / SEVEN DC PORTRAIT

JAHLINX / SEVEN DC, 2013

 

So I found this amazing photo of one of my friend's kids, and I had to do a piece with it. I found another stoic image of Linx himself and another of his trademark lion and know exactly what I wanted to produce. The facial expressions on all three tell the story, age and the cycle of life we all create. In the background I wanted to add something that represented Linx thought so I added philosophers and writers, like Camus, Sartre, Blake, etc. as well as angels representing his thoughts on his little and of course the trademark paw print. Hope you enjoy brother you deserve it.....5.....

STEALTH, 2013

PHOTOGRAPH by 5......

Subliminal stimuli: (literally "below threshold"), contrary to supraliminal stimuli or "above threshold", are any sensory stimuli below an individual's threshold for conscious perception. The concept of stealth is to rich the target audience by awareness, while subconsciously stimulating other that might not understand or know what they are looking at. This is what I term as stealth marketing…..5…..
