Banksy

I had been meaning to write this for a couple of days, but honestly hadn't found the time to until now. Besides, I'm not the type of person who would write about Banksy in 5 minutes, this required some deep thinking and contemplation (you probably won't notice that though because my writing is wacko).

So, Banksy. Banksy, Banksy, Banksy... Do I love that man. I am a huge fan of his works, as the urban art lover and hopefully one-day-to-be urban artist that I am (among many other different designations, I like variety).

He is a very big inspiration to me, considering I am into the whole Stencil Art thing. I, unfortunately, have never sprayed any of my stuff on the streets yet but I hope to one day. Probably when I have a bit more practice at it.

Banksy is so epic he doesn't even need to show his face and still people all over the world venerate him. I think all the mystery adds to his charm!
But truth be told what's really amazing about him is not only his skills as an artist, which are indubitable, but the social criticism in his works. He manages to approach serious subjects with a twist giving them humour. Not many can do that so well.

In all honesty Banksy isn't something that can be explained, he's something that has got to be seen to realize the wonder of it.

P.S: I started writing this before 10 pm. Just thought I should let you know how long it took me ahah.

An inspirational afternoon

Friday after school I went for a walk on the beach with my girlfriend. To be perfectly honest we couldn't have picked a trickier day to do it, but it was good none the less. It was cold and VERY windy, but I'm glad we went because otherwise I wouldn't have this to show:

I would really love to know who is the author of these masterpieces because I am in complete awe, and I really mean it. This dude is so talented, I hope these two beauties stick by and nobody remembers to fuck them up. I will seriously feel like murdering someone if next time I go there they are gone.

I've been getting very into painting and seeing this was very inspirational. I can't wait untill I get some time to paint and try out some of the ideas I've been having lately. I'm psyched!

Painting

Alright, I am very proud of my painting so i'll be showing off. It is rare that I'm this content over a work, I honestly wouldn't change it.
Oh and the original image isn't by me, it's in some poster on the street about a movie festival but i liked it so decided to do my version. Hope no one minds.
By the way, homie, this is the image I told you about. I might do a stencil of it one of these days. And Naty my baby this is the painting I was mentioning.
My first take at acrylic painting. Any good?

PS: I'm still dwelling over what to do in the rest of the canvas. It will stay white for now, I like it white. If I come up with something meanwhile I'll alter it. I wish I had a smaller canvas at home so I wouldn't have to worry about so many empty space, but this was the only size I had.
Oh and the "bad painting" technique is purposeful.
