Timothy Karpinski

I'm really liking Timothy Karpinski's work at the moment, I find his style peaceful and really delicate. I discovered him a while back as he runs the Together Gallery with Mark Warren Jacques who I'm also a big fan of. Karpinski grew up near the Appalachian Trail in the woods of New Jersey. He now lives and works in Portland, Oregon. He spends much of his time building forts, damming streams, skateboarding and making art. Inspiration also comes from his love of music, typography, gardening, children’s books, graffiti, and his love of nature and science. All of these elements are reflected in his work.

“From a young age I’ve always been making things. Building forts turned into building skate ramps which lead to building art installations. I love the art making process, from the initial spark of the ‘idea’, the creation to the finished product. Art for me is very personal and everything i make is a direct reflection on my feelings about this world and my struggle and fascination with trying to understand it and find my purpose within it.”

Pat Perry

Pat Perry is a surrealist painter/illustrator from Michigan, USA. He mainly uses pen and ink, acrylic and occasionally a little Photoshop to manipulate colour. In his words he is inspired by "...People around me and things I see, phrases I hear, and Michigan. Michigan is the state I grew up in, and I can’t deny my love for the place, or the prominence it has in my work. Relationships in people, and wild personalities also really interest me, and I have tried to portray these characteristics many a time. I’ve always loved camping, and am always pretty inspired by forests, fields and creatures too."

and his blog for his sketches, commissions and photography http://www.patperry.net/blog/

Winter

Hi!

Sooooo... I'm waiting on some money to come through at the moment and I'm very excited about actually being able to buy things. I have so many things on my wishlist that I've wanted but haven't been able to afford for so long. Top of the list is film and a new battery for my Polaroid land camera 240. I'm so excited to start taking photos with it! The film is really expensive per shot so I'm going to have to try to make the most of it. Check back here for the results! Here are a few photos I took last winter. I hope you like. x
