#86 2D Artist

Illustrator Alberto Cerriteno.

Alberto Cerriteño is a Mexican illustrator who has lived in America; Portland for nearly three years now. Strongly inspired by urban vinyl toys, alternative cartoons, and the pop surrealism movement, Alberto Cerriteño has developed his own very personal technique and style, having always present a delicate hints of traditional Mexican artistic influences in his management of rich textures and decorative patterns. These contrast strikingly with the blending of desaturated colors and ink, sometimes featuring a vintage coffee finish. Alberto Cerriteño illustrations have been recognized by progressive art institutions such as Juxtapoz, Create, Drawn!, The Little Chimp Society, Computer Arts, Communication Arts and IDN among others. He has also been invited to participate in collaborative art projects all around the world and diverse solo and groupal gallery shows in United States.


another one that greatly influences my work.




#85 2D Artist

Justin Degarmo

one bad ass mofo. Seriously, talented in everything-painting, drawing, cartoons, and realism. I need to buy his work. I just can't get over it. He is another one of my favorites and who I take inspiration from. oh man... I don't even know what else to say. I don't want my words mucking up his work.





#84 I wish

I wish BSU Art Department would recognize and discuss the significance of street art and low brow art on the fine art world and that illustration and its offsets are all important. That just because something is not in a high class gallery or at the MoMA then it has no meaning or significance. Some of the professors wouldn't blink a damn eye at anything I posted on my blog so far. Even in all of its glory and wonderfulness. They are just sheep. They feel like they are in the know and they are better than those not in art. But they aren't.

#83 mmhmmm

I don't even know what else to say. This blog has sucked me dry of any ideas and thought. I still have a plethora of artists I could have talked about.

I think I want to start working large again. But I haven't decided. It just seems like a good idea with the kind of subject matter I work with. Seeing happy-gazed over people and animals in a small context just doesn't feel like it will have the same impact as something that is 7 feet tall and in your face. Then you can feel the sublime my world has. Shit is going down but everyone has their happy mask on. I dunno if this is realistic to the world around us. But I feel like it is sometimes. I know people like this. I think this is all me.

#82 and so on

I am missing my french lit class right now. That may be killing my grade as we speak because today is the last day we talk about a novel that I haven't even read yet and we didn't even talk about last time. I am so confused in that class. I am scared shit-less for the final and have no idea what I am doing there. At least I don't need the class to graduate. It is just a stupid elective credit. bah!
