Low Brow Art

14. September 2011 by admin.

Who knew…! I had no idea that the art that I am drawn to, and like so much, could be called “Low Brow”. This conjures images of the old Dick Tracy baddie:

In any case I recently joined this group on meetup.com:

I have to say it was kind of fun hanging out with artists and art aspirers (not a word).

So after going to recent ‘meetup” I decided  to further adorn my iPad and Kindle from:

http://www.gelaskins.com/?SR=sr3_202511918_go&gclid=CPja8Ny8nasCFRM6gwodYXRSnQ

This is THE site to have a good protection film for your gadgets. The shipping can be a bit steep but their products are quality and really really easy to apply and reapply!

2 new artists I came upon are:

Nathan Ota:

really inspired work and I love the subject matter.

Brian M. Viveros:

Wow- just absoluetly wow. I just love that his work echoes back to the old “Rosie the riveter” poster from back in the day with a dark edge to it.

Both of these guys have pieces at Gelaskins and they have prints available on the web at nominal prices.

Lastly- I also found this blog for some good info on “Low Brow” stuff:

Great Stuff!

So that’s the end of my first real post- hope you found something of interest…
