SOLIPSIST is an experimental short film by Andrew Huang that recently won the Special Jury Prize at Slamdance 2012. This short film by Andrew explores the philosophical idea called solipsism. Solipsism, to summarize, is the concept that we can only be sure of what exists in our mind.<br />

Growing up, he would jump in front of the camera at every opportunity. When he appeared on the other side of the viewfinder, he captured his first image: a reflection. “As I looked within the picture, I found myself more and more excited about the canvas I could create,” he said. “I developed a passion for capturing rare and spontaneous moments to immortalize the emotion and subject within it.” The professional photographer of 10 years is credited with having a gift for bringing out the uniqueness and talent in “anyone or anything.” Demonstrating a rare command of colour, shading and expression, he awakens subjects within their environment, exposing them to examination and admiration. ZAIDEN specializes in fashion, editorial and portrait photography, and offers traditional film and complete digital photographic services, in-studio or on location. “The greatest rush is to be challenged with using my surroundings to achieve mood and mystery.” • ZAIDEN </span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; "><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://www.imagekind.com/MemberProfileGalleries.aspx?MID=36cc5fd3-6335-4b93-b3bb-a3af794db609">William “ZAIDEN” Chrysler Gallaries</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"> <span style="font-weight: bold;">David Mowbray</span></span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMHSRaQNAPaYckE6ozDyehG85y5AKXllW31oZPbIaNhaoZkuhamwh7la723rdst5ZOrWzv_R_Vvy0PEJ-WThrmLVnZXvjjNAumk1uOBt1t4SVNQOSnJZcnSTjIZcTGDTO2HB_st39xYg/s1600/artblog1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggMHSRaQNAPaYckE6ozDyehG85y5AKXllW31oZPbIaNhaoZkuhamwh7la723rdst5ZOrWzv_R_Vvy0PEJ-WThrmLVnZXvjjNAumk1uOBt1t4SVNQOSnJZcnSTjIZcTGDTO2HB_st39xYg/s400/artblog1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472322174766568050" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span id="ctl00_BodyPlaceHolder_lblMemberBio">My creative influences include; the artwork of Andy potts, Jose Parla, Patrick Caulfield and Harland Miller; the music and artwork of Robert del Naja and Goldie; designer Alan Fletcher; photographer William Eggleston; grafitti, street and urban art.</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.imagekind.com/MemberProfile.aspx?MID=70c9226f-541d-49fc-be66-37eaf082075a">David Mowbay's Galleries</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;">T Smith<br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUH6sq4WsoHiwuWUAykwDNGG0n6989cYPxDv5Jj7eo84TKHb1Q6ckDueV59vzdVKdoiPjrKA26sVtbh1j8A1S_l1xErFAFHB_oESwEnrb7MilEr8nGGGDKKHvoezL3QSkfWwHmwebs7FA/s1600-h/Cashell.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUH6sq4WsoHiwuWUAykwDNGG0n6989cYPxDv5Jj7eo84TKHb1Q6ckDueV59vzdVKdoiPjrKA26sVtbh1j8A1S_l1xErFAFHB_oESwEnrb7MilEr8nGGGDKKHvoezL3QSkfWwHmwebs7FA/s320/Cashell.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437129182648265842" border="0" /></a>All I know about this artist from the UK is that her body of work is spectacular!

Observers of beauty will without doubt witness their unexplained power to awe and seduce.<br /><br />Perhaps most amazing, is their ability to touch our heart with the truth they reveal. They inspire us to see ourselves as a part of a bigger universe, and with this reframe our vision of the world.<br /><br />Such beauty is art, and such art is beauty.<br /><br />This is what I hope to achieve with my art. To bring viewers a taste of beauty. To awaken the senses through colour and my knowledge of their astounding affects on both body and mind.

Manifesting a superb technical mastery, Martinez’s figurative oils on canvas reveal a Cuban society where the tint of the tropical sun and the tones of a decadent system combine to create a surreal magical realism where dreams, fantasies, and frustration play together as the leading actor on a stage. Martinez has been compared to Chagall in his blend of cubism and surrealism, and to Botero in his use of expressive faces and satirical social commentary, but his style remains uniquely his own.<br /><br />Martinez was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1964, into a family of artists.

You will be able to find acrylic color painting, Photography, drawing, and other interesting stuff. Juliana Maz’s, trajectory lay in developing and exploring a style that encompassed a love of print, pop art, Graphics and the precense of saturated colors. My studies of Graphic Design and Visual Arts complement what I do, being able to offer a fan of possibilities at the time of projecting a work. Without aesthetic classifications nor prejudices Images, as I believe, are fragments of histories, dreams and illusions caught with a lens, a brush, a pen or even with your mind... developed and processed for the benefit, the contemplation, in order to open possibilities in the monotony of our daily life…</p><p><br /><a href="http://www.imagekind.com/MemberProfile.aspx?MID=533c031a-2baf-4d25-a88c-ba4139a55785">Juliana Maz's Gallery</a></p><p><br /><br /><b><b>Janet Karam</b></b></p><p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcWDbvlSWZmSTpkUwg5RTuACQgdsLNnW3jylAhQboDZrya6HllN4EK4C1DO_TJjFVNmOk0PE0NYdqxSE_g_vmZbDdfS_bGIdkijF4D1fkJyvy71F4tmQ3stgDRuiDICRzoMi6CVHBqinE/s1600-h/janetkaram.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcWDbvlSWZmSTpkUwg5RTuACQgdsLNnW3jylAhQboDZrya6HllN4EK4C1DO_TJjFVNmOk0PE0NYdqxSE_g_vmZbDdfS_bGIdkijF4D1fkJyvy71F4tmQ3stgDRuiDICRzoMi6CVHBqinE/s320/janetkaram.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185425242444727634" border="0" /></a></p><p><br />My first fascination with drawing came at a young age when a young man sat with me creating quick line drawings- it was a relatively simple and unremarkable moment, yet the impression left was powerful and lasting. From that time on, my passion for creating art has progressed to become a central driving force in her life. Karam graduated from the Art Institute of Dallas in 1988, and since then has pursued painting with increasing fascination and verve.<br /><br />After several years of living in larger cities, I moved to a small historical Texas town where the old, weathered architecture and weathered of my new surroundings inspired the original paintings in my current Funkytown series. I enjoys painting a wide variety of subjects, and whether musical, abstract, animal, portrait or cityscape, I enjoy painting with expressively bold strokes, lively color, and often whimsical compositions.</p><p><br /><a href="http://www.fine-art.com/members/37459">Janet Karam's Gallery</a></p><br /><br /><b><b>The Blue Queen</b></b><p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnA4QiWr13Vgm8DkcZ-F_0pjzlEqjD3K_uDaNrkcWHuYxPu4LZHUuZuMWCN4lQjUB_NLd6Nos7XhFpWulALKUTcqdelMnp3wpofm27_HSju0fnjUL-rUsKK1vbzu8x1l7HO25iQJZTRM/s1600-h/thebluequeen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwnA4QiWr13Vgm8DkcZ-F_0pjzlEqjD3K_uDaNrkcWHuYxPu4LZHUuZuMWCN4lQjUB_NLd6Nos7XhFpWulALKUTcqdelMnp3wpofm27_HSju0fnjUL-rUsKK1vbzu8x1l7HO25iQJZTRM/s320/thebluequeen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185688356436247906" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /><br />Greetings and well met!

Music theatre and dance are all influences that imbue her work with vitality and drama. Her subjects pass through their domains or stages as if passing from one dimension of reality to another. Finding provocative inspiration in Carl Gustav Jung’s meditation on symbols of collective human psyche, Jarmila`s paintings explore realms of emerging subjectivity in varying states of visual conception. She brings gracefully formulated sense of drama to her compositions, extending upon the subterranean mysteries of her archetypal reflections in cyclical concentrations. These images originate from intuitive impulses. Kostliva has exhibited worldwide. My visual arts college education in Czechoslovakia was intended to prepare me for carer of an artist and designer. However, after my graduation I decided to follow my second "dream profession" of becoming a professional ballet dancer. Since my childhood I have been attending ballet and music schools as well and It felt natural to choose an opportunity just waiting for me. I have appeared on stage and in film , working with numerous ballet and dance companies of State Opera and Ballet in Czech Republic, Germany and Canada performing in ballet, operas and musicals. I have been touring extensively in North and South America. After my dance career was about to end, I have decided to get back to painting and seriously pursue the visual arts opportunities. Traveling through the continents to study diverse cultures, specially ancient, primitive and aboroginal, became great inspiration for my work. Experience of the dancer's discipline, stage, music, fantasy and ability to transform the body and mind to different levels of the awareness was important part of my life. My art as well as my life has formed the way I express and define myself in my work.

I was shooting pictures of all the houses on the block with my Kodak Instamactic 125 camera. I used color film and then developed the film with black and white chemicals. I didn't think anything would appear.<br /><br />To my amazement, instead of color negative images I got black and white positive images. I remember how thrilled I was just to see anything.<br /><br />Memories like these are what keep me inspired to continue to create, experiment and task risks.tonyphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789684459968468637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250609967970825502.post-7796323464406396572008-02-07T03:12:00.001-08:002008-02-07T03:36:21.410-08:00My Definition of Success<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is Success?</span><br /></div><br />I've developed a serious marketing strategy plan.

I joined an online Art Community at <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fineart</span>.com which in two days after submitting artwork, I received over 1800 visits. <br />I have an online store that sells my artwork on various merchandise. I will soon be publishing a paperback entitled "<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Ominous Beauty</span>".<br /><br />Now, that is what I define as success! I've finally found a vehicle to share my world with otherstonyphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789684459968468637noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250609967970825502.post-48048801659307090492008-02-07T03:12:00.000-08:002008-04-07T07:11:55.497-07:00From The Words of Robert KernodleYes, I can see it now:<br /><br />In another ten years, Tony will have written so many websites that he will BECOME Google. He will be exposed all over the globe and perhaps to the ends of the solar system. He will include all his friends and photos of their inspired work. He will sit for days on end, hours on end, with the aid of life extension aids, genetic emplanted synthetic biological structures,... one step away from a strong artificial intelligence transhuman,... typing, typing, typing away,.... another website, and another, and another,.... the earth will become engulfed by the sun's expansion, the oceans will dry up,... yet still he will create more websites to expose more artists, and more, and more, and more.<br /><br />Humans will become extinct, and a little skinny barely humanoid, tentacled creature will accidentally step on him, not realizing that it was HE who was their predecessor, engendering the very transformation for which he and all his artist cohorts had no clue.<p><br /><B><b>Artist Robert Kernodle - Fluidism - Art Of Fluid</B></b><br />Fluidism is the art of manipulating real fluid mixtures to discover visually pleasing patterns. Using containers or surfaces to pool liquid paints and other fluids, the artist drops, pours or otherwise adds layers, while observing spontaneous patterns, which he then captures with a camera. A human hand controls the boundaries of the pool, the beginning colors, and the choices of which fluids to use. The so called "laws of physics" take care of the details.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNGwqnkenFXXKW1yq2uXwfFmk-8ihOG0OlM31l1V-7WyN5OyDRj8gKWE44-o9n66QCPXvKj9emVruFSM36QZ7b7FbbExqF4MqTaEXd7dMIB7VT3GG2Jvljw-k0DfHxNetw3EjaL0Ay91o/s1600-h/fluidism.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNGwqnkenFXXKW1yq2uXwfFmk-8ihOG0OlM31l1V-7WyN5OyDRj8gKWE44-o9n66QCPXvKj9emVruFSM36QZ7b7FbbExqF4MqTaEXd7dMIB7VT3GG2Jvljw-k0DfHxNetw3EjaL0Ay91o/s320/fluidism.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5186504331503011250" border="0" /></a></p><p><br /><br /><a href="http://www.talentdatabase.com/channels/1-Art/profiles/1284602-Robert-Kernodle/portfolios/1284002/portfolio_items">Robert Kernodle</a></p>tonyphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789684459968468637noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250609967970825502.post-33366348916959309072008-01-31T22:23:00.000-08:002008-04-03T01:55:25.848-07:00Building A Brand<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24838271@N05/2384854298/" title="logo2006 copy by tonypimages, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3288/2384854298_c7c61b61a1_m.jpg" width="240" height="102" alt="logo2006 copy" /></a><p><br /><div class="post_view_title"><br /></div>Well, it's a new <span class="down"></span>year and I have major plans and goals to achieve.<br /><br />I've been working on my <strong><em>Brand Building Project </em></strong>which consist of putting my name out there. I'm planning an One Man Exhibit of all my work this year at various venues. <br /><br />This past year, I designed and produced a line of fine-art Bookmarks (which did very well I might add).<br /><br />My first Marketing Project for this upcoming year was to Produce, Promote and Distribute my line of<em> fine-art T-shirts. </em>My artwork is one of a kind, therefore, I figure, so must my T-shirts be. <span style="font-weight: bold;">MISSION ACCOMPLISHED</span>-I'm satisfied with the designs of the shirts, nonetheless, I'm still an artist who's never really satisfied.<br /><br />I'm so thrilled that everyone is so excited about the T-shirts.

Another friend broke up with their boyfriend and another friend lost their job. Well, we all have some kind of <em>unwanted </em>drama in our lives!<br /><br />Whenever life throws me a curve ball, I find myself creating whether it's editing my screenplay, sketching with my charcoals or starting a new mixed media image.<br /><br />The point is, which I tell anyone with any kind of trouble, you need an outlet to channel all that unwanted energy ; a <em>free therapist</em> so to speak. You need something that no one can take away from you, something that you don't need anyone to do it with, something that gives you and only you satisfaction.<br /><br />I've been through a lot of personal drama in my life, if is wasn't for my craft, I'm certain I would have perished.<br /><br /><br />My Craft, My Therapisttonyphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14789684459968468637noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250609967970825502.post-48717286474674462602008-01-31T21:31:00.000-08:002008-02-07T03:36:21.414-08:00The Great EscapeWe all need an escape.
