From Maura:

“I love your blog. I have been taking photos of the street graffiti around Denver, Colorado for a year or so..mostly in my alleys around my house. I recently took a road trip home to Flagstaff, Arizona and drove through my old stomping grounds, the Navajo Indian reservation and saw these amazing wheat paste pieces on some water tanks in Grey Mountain, an all but abandoned gas station and hotel stop between Tuba City and Flagstaff. I love that they are traditional icons..the gramma and grampa herding the sheep, with the ominous coyote hidden around the corner. Good stuff. I had no idea there was a street art culture on the reservation. Hope you like the images”

“This is my part of a group installation with the newly formed Rochester NY-based collective Sweet Meat Co. What is pictured here is built entirely using salvaged objects, including the lighting and functional speakers. The entire installation took six people just over one month to complete. The work pictured here is my own, but more pictures from the show can be found here

PimpArtworks Introduces “Psychopainter”

Posted: February 14th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »
Who are you, what do you do and where are you from?

“I’m a fine artist/illustrator/graphic designer from Birmingham, AL (USA). Aside from my “day job”, I create art in a variety of styles using both traditional and digital media. The works shown here are all part of one style I call “Digital Street Pop.”

How did you love for art begin?
“I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember and I started taking art classes at when I was 12. The older I get, the more different styles of art I like.”


How would you describe your style?
“I call this style “Digital Street Pop”. There are two main concepts behind the style: 1.) Nothing in contemporary pop culture ever really goes away. It just accumulates. 2.) There is no hierarchy of information in contemporary pop culture. Everything is equally valuable/disposable. Therefore, everything is interchangeable. The randomness of the images I combine is part of the point. I create these using Adobe Photoshop (and occasionally Adobe Illustrator) because I can’t create the textures using traditional media. Also, Photoshop has multiple undo.”

Who’s your favourite cartoon character & why?
“I watch a lot of cartoons and I like a lot of cartoon characters, but my favorite is probably Cosmo from The Fairly Oddparents. I’m not sure why, maybe because he’s so “off the wall”. Also, I really like the style of that cartoon.”

Describe a normal day in the life of Psychopainter?
“I’m pretty much a hermit. I go to work (as a graphic designer/illustrator). I come home. Watch TV. I check a lot of messageboards, especially those that deal with art and urban vinyl (toys). I listen to lots of different kinds of music (but a lot of Industrial). Some days, I have so many ideas, I MUST get them all out (through painting or Photoshop). Other days, I CAN’T create, even if want to. I’ve learned to go with the flow.”

Any tips for beginners?
“Learn the basics before you start to break the rules. Learn all of the programs you can. Go see all of the art you can (in person or on the internet). Be open to a lot of influences. Realize that art doesn’t exist in a vacuum…so, anything you create will be influenced by (and look somewhat like) something that has already been created.”

Cheers for you time Psychopainter, anything else you’d like to add?
“I’m glad to be able to have these pieces posted on PimpArtworks. I enjoy working in this style and I hope other people will enjoy it too.”
