Meet Joe Wisdom. I came across him today at the compass at VCU. He’s a great artist, he experiments with his work, he doesn’t care what people think, he works in the open, and he’s an all around nice guy.

I told him about a secret place to get more boards for his work, his second piece he worked on today was from that very secret place.

Joe works with other artists creating signs, songs, uses chalk, spray paint, wood, and pretty much everything else he can find.

He works barefoot, knits red and white hats, and isn’t rude to the people who like to spread the word of God through the compass like usual. [i.e. people who force their religion down your throat in the center of campus…]

This was filmed between the 4th and 11th of April, 2011. It is filmed on Spain’s highest mountain, El Teide. It is considered to be one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars. 
 

So sick.

Andy Goldsworthy is an innovative British artist whose collaborations with nature produce uniquely personal and intense artworks. Using an endless range of natural materials—snow, ice, leaves, bark, rock, clay, stones, feathers petals, twigs—he creates outdoor sculpture that manifests a sympathetic contact with the natural world. Goldsworthy deliberately explores the tension of working in the area where he finds his materials. The intention is not to “make his mark” on the landscape, but rather to work with it instinctively, so that a delicate scene of bamboo or massive snow rings or a circle of leaves floating in a pool create a new perception and an ever growing understanding of the land.

MCAW: Check out the Aroma Festival 2009 in Sydney, Australia. A group of organizers created a Mona Lisa that Da Vinci would be proud of. Made entirely of 3,604 cups of coffee filled with different amounts of milk to create skin tones. Who said portraiture has to be painted? Why not made from coffee cups, or thread, or mixed media materials?!?! I love it!
