I've had plenty of times in my life where I found myself proud moment after creating a work of art. Although this piece I just did recently made me proud, I cant say it was the best art I've done; rather than being proud of a piece a made in a museum or in a magazine, I enjoy making art in places that people I know and meet are exposed to all the time. Just recently my roommates and I were redecorating our apartment with poseters and random art so I decided to paint something of my own. As I love to doodle in class and draw in a sketch book, Ive always been a fan of the Suicidal Tendencies, punk rock art scene filled with skullls and crossbones, skateboards and buttoned up flannels. Instead of painting the usual drawing with Los Angeles on the inside of the hats brim, I let my friends add in to the artwork to represent what they like and were their from.
As most people come over to our house are from my roommates hometown, everyone who walks in and takes a look around at place immediately sees the piece and make comments on it. I usually stay quiet and listen to what they have to say about it first, then announce its mine when they ask if they bought it somewhere or payed someone to graffiti in out house. I love the feeling of seeing people into my art, and the fact that making art that relates to more people than myself shows how widespread my art could be enjoyed.
