Coming to the end of class, we touched on contemporary art. One of my favorite contemporary artists is Alex Pardee. He was a broke artist in California who worked a ton of mindless side jobs and then in his spare time he would work on his passion : his art. He would spend most of his money printing his pieces and then would go to places like sperm banks and reception areas of random buildings and place his artwork inside magazines. Almost 2 years ago he was recognized by the rock band The Used and they commissioned him to created the art work for the album Berth. The pieces of his i really love are when the background is a random assortment of dripping bright colors with a graphic image drawn over top of it. I had never seen anything like his stuff before. I love that he combines intense images with bright colors. I also enjoy his pen and inks.
