I've been getting to see some really awesome art while I'm here. It's been one of my favorite parts, and on last thursday was one of the peaks. There was a traveling Van Gogh exhibit here in Rome and I got to go. It focused a lot on his rural works. Its crazy how much his style changed in less than ten years. Here are some of my favorites from the show:
I went to a really disappointing Caravaggio exhibit today, but the couple of his paintings that were actually there were most excellent. He is a super dope artist and I love his skulls. I've never really been a fan of skull stuff, but he kills it.
About a year back, I chronicled the work of a buddy of ours named Talley Carlston. You should check that post out here is you missed it before. I was just looking through his stuff today and I think it's time to throw up another post of his stuff. He is a really talented photographer and also happens to be living in my room while I'm over here in Rome for a few months. So just check these shots out and appreciate the talent that is the "Big Snake."
Please go spend a dollar supporting our good buddy Sam in his quest to be the next Damien Rice/Elliot Smith/John Lennon of our generation. I can remember writing songs in his basement for school retreats when we were like 15, and now his music and my artwork are on iTunes. Anyways, go check it out and hopefully you like it. Either way throw the bum a dollar for his Mad Dog tonight...
