Deviation Actions
It's been a while since my last entry, so I thought I'd put one together quickly.
I'm trying to learn to paint with acrylics at the moment. What I mean is, I'm trying to learn to paint the way I want to, so I can represent what I really experience. In my experience of what we call the world, nothing is made of hard edges, and this is quite distinct from my experience earlier in life. Now everything passes into every other thing by way of fuzzy, indistinct zones. It's a sort of fabric. So I'm trying to develop a style of acrylic painting that will communicate this, & I've been practicing using bonfires as a subject.
I've posted a couple in my gallery. The style is developing, there are many things I'd like to improve on, but I like where it's heading. B

New Material
I've added a handful of new images to my gallery. These newer paintings were done over the past year or so. I'm still working on my acrylic technique and just getting into color and the feeling of handling palettes. I continue to draw on personal experience to draft my themes.

flora + fauna
August 20, 2011
New collaborative works from Abbotsford-based artists April Solomon and Brandon Schultz exploring the idolization and personification of nature. The offerings include new mixed media pieces, paintings, colored pencil pieces, linocut prints and creative writing.
Educated at Laguna College of Art and Design, April Solomon relocated to Abbotsford, BC from Laguna Beach, California in 2006 and has established herself as a sought-after muralist and portrait artist. She skillfully uses colored pencil, gouache, acrylic and collage to portray fantasy and nature imagery; her influences include art nouveau, realism and t
Surrealist exhibit @ Vancouver Art Gallery
April & I made it out to the Surrealist exhibit in the city yesterday.
It was fascinating & inspiring; it reawakened my interest in a few projects I had set aside for a long time.
What impressed me about the material was, in some cases, a lack of or negligence toward technical skills (although some surrealist painters are highly, highly technically skilled). The quality of delivery seemed for many artists to be quite secondary to the subject matter.
I usually hate still-life and landscape paintings, unless they're used as a vehicle to show off some wild or exciting technique. But many well-known realist painters are popular because their a
Isis and Osiris Print
I finally finished my Isis and Osiris piece. It took a hell of a long time to draft and cut, and printing was difficult because the shading cuts and really fine and clog up with ink between every print. So, it has to be carefully washed and dried before each print.
I've been working on some time-limit collage pieces with April (http://atomsanddust.deviantart.com) and we will post those photos in the near future.
