This is an acrylic painting with collage. Classic abstract. Looking at old school abstract painters like; @paulklee.ao , @kandinskywassily , @frankstellaart and so on. We are a string of pearl from the past to today. What do you think?

I often look everywhere for inspiration, online, in the real world, on tv, or even at old artwork of my own. This time I was on Pinterest and I saw some 'needlework' art and I really liked the flowers. I thought "what would I do with this idea?" I started with the background, then added the next several layers and finally the 'focal idea'. I say 'focal idea', because it's often just an idea in my head and is becoming while I work on the piece. Sometimes it takes shape just as I imagine it and othertimes not. When I'm lucky, it's better. This one only had three black flowers as a start. What do you think? ✌

I got some new paper and it's a bigger than the usual. The hexagons broken up into their colorful parts was very meditative. There are many layers the dichotomy between the complexity of the hexagons shapes and the flow of the field of flowers is exciting.

This post is all about collage and city life. When walking around the city with my husband we often see abandoned art on the street. This time I chose to pick up two pieces on wood. #recycled #reuse #renew
Every building is made from papers I painted personally.
One sunny day, one a beautiful night scene.
Both on textured wood cradles.

This piece is called hashtag Home. It's an acrylic paint piece full of words and an odd building. I have been moved by architecture lately. Word art has always been something of interest to me. As always I love color.

This is an acrylic painting. First sometimes I will paint on any flat surface that will take the paint. I'm all about recycle●renew●reuse ♻️. I'm not a fanatic, but this was painted on a cardboard food container. 😀 I needed a series of positive statements so I made these to inspire me. Maybe they will inspire you. What do you think? 🤔

I started out painting a light hearted pastel painting. Pale yellow, pale blue, minty green all feel good colors. {pro tip never listen to NPR while painting if you want a light airy mood.} With every story I thought "can I live?" Will I make through the next few years without being personally attacked? Since I live in San Francisco the clouds /fog came down but also the Sun shown and the flowers bloomed, even in November.

This new watercolor play on Fluid 'cold press' watercolor paper. This watercolor piece is all about color theory and color harmony. How different shades of one color sing together and with others next to them. If I paint this color what is the next color by gut intuition. The middle color is gold because gold... duh!
What do you think? How does it make you feel? 🤔

This is an acrylic painting. Also made collage and gold leaf. Trying out some new 18 x 24 watercolor paper. A few colors and some smaller flowers under the seven large flowers in the middle area. All flowers are in silhouette. Dictionary pages for texture and Bob's my Uncle. Well, yes he is. 😁 What do you think?

I had this leftover piece of watercolor paper from a previous project and it was there and so was I so we got together to be... well, creative. After many layers of acrylic paint and ink also some collage and stuff we bring you this. A long thin strip of color and flowers that make you want to dive right in. 🌼🌺🌻✌

A sketchbook idea of layers, colors, and figures. The figure on left is my representation of a Trans hero and on the right a representation of the African diaspora. The radiation of colors behind the heroes bring to mind the brilliance of their strength and character. What do you think?

This is a watercolor painting. I was watching butterflies float around me on the breeze. I painted 7 of them. Maybe everyone knows I like hexagons so I had to practice them also. Sunshine on a beautiful day. What do you think?
14x17 Sketchbook acrylic painting. The layers of color reflect the background of 7 colors. There are more colors in the foreground but in the same family. The title means whatever you need it to mean right now. Enjoy ✌

These four pieces are on 12x12 birch panels from #blickartmaterials with acrylic layers and collage. Each one came directly out of waking dreams. Visions that come while I'm waking up or meditating. Each one is different but they all have things in common. What do you think? I'd like to know.

This is an acrylic painting. For this painting I explored shapes and the connections between colors. Pink, yellow and blue can male a strong background to layer many colors on top of. With the Tribe and the anonymous person of the Sun. Interesting. What do you think?

Acrylic paint, watercolor ink, acrylic ink, pencil and collage. This one was a stream of consciousness piece. I have a ton of bits and pieces for paintings in my head. Often I have to put them somewhere to get at the more formed ideas. This was one of those paintings. What do you think?

This is an acrylic painting. I always knew I was on some kind of journey/path/lane even when I was very young. I went places other kids didn't. I learned in ways other kids didn't have to. Life was not the same for me. It took me awhile to learn to appreciate my different circumstance. But I also learn it often made me a target, but not always in a bad way. I didn't always love it, but I did try to learn from the good and bad. This painting is what my journey/path/lane looks like to me sometimes. What do you think?

This is a sketchbook watercolor painting. I was watching a video on buildings and how they find unusual things when they dig the foundations. Inspiration really does come from anywhere, if you let it. I often (not always) like to have at least one organic thing in an abstract painting. What do you think?

This a mixed media painting. More like the kitchen sink. The list of techniques used here is long. The is an off cut from a framer I know. Thanks Joe @artisansofsanfrancisco. I wanted to try out new things to open more pathways. I'm a new experience person on my terms only. I'm skeptical of any new experience I didn't check out or co-sign first. A surprise is "almost" always a no for me. Everyone is different.

This is a mixed media painting. Layers and layers. It started out one way and then changed and changed again. The premise is a city wall full and life. Old slogans, old posts, old ideas. Covered by years of dirt and dust. In front of.all that bright and cheery flower sprout to let the people who notice that nature is still out there. The natural world still has hope for humanity.

-》This is an acrylic, collage and textured painting. This is also a multi layered painting. Circles, who doesn't like circles. I got to play with colors and texture. I'm normally a full color guy, but on this I chose just a few colors and stuck to that. Some painting don't call for lettering, but I love when they do. Wallpaper paste is the texture here.

This is an acrylic mixed media painting. Sometimes I fall in love / infatuation with certain colors. This time it's blue. "Impatience is a form of unwillingness. To be impatient by definition is to be unwilling to suffer delays. But wisdom requires delay, for wisdom is a thing that takes time to acquire and knowledge in the absence of wisdom is dangerous."
This is a quote that touched me. What do you think?

What do you think? Bonded, An earlier Tribe painting I wanted to reintroduce, cir:April 2019. This is an acrylic painting. It contains many layers and is a full sheet of watercolor paper. I had painted a couple of larger painting by this time but I was still feeling a bit hesitant. I was finding that using every color that I owned was exhilarating.The Tribe is what I call the people/forms in my art. What do you think?

Acrylic paint, India Ink and collage on watercolor paper. It's smaller than some of the pieces I make but full of details like postage stamps and the wrapping paper from a soy sauce bottle.
Ottograph, a large-scale muralist, has been slinging paint since the age of ten. The Modern Art Museum of Antwerpen (Belgium) is home to a giant Ottograph mural. Otto also painted murals in Moscow, Tokyo, Berlin New York and San Fancisco. Ottograph is also operating the website “I Paint Everyday” www.ipainteveryday.com to encourage the tedious, yet necessary practice of serious painting.
Ottograph has worked for clients like Greenpeace, Tommy Hilfiger, Nike, Mars, Ford, and Merecedes-Benz.

————————
In Las Palmas noemen ze alle VJ's VJ. Behalve Ottograph, dat is de Kunstenaar. Zijn voornaamste bezigheid is namelijk schilderen, en dat zie je terug in zijn animaties, waarin beeld - en niet techniek - de hoofdrol speelt. Ooit was Otto Kruijsen, oftewel Ottograph, nachtenlang in de weer met spuitbussen, om een vette piece neer te zetten op trein of muur. Daar kreeg ie genoeg van, en na diverse omzwervingen meldde Otto zich in 1993 aan op de Rietveld Academie, om schilder te worden. Al snel besefte hij dat hij allang wist wat hij wilde en kon, en helemaal geen zin had om voor de zoveelste keer van voren af aan te beginnen. Tabe Rietveld dus. Een goeie zet, want sindsdien is het Otto voor de wind gegaan.
Zijn eerste expositie, samen met een paar vrienden, was een groot succes: ze verkochten hun doeken in een galerie verbouwd tot supermarkt, met o.a. een echte kassa bij de deur. Naar aanleiding van deze expositie werd Ottograph gevraagd om prints voor t-shirts en kleding van Bodyglove te ontwerpen. Een toffe maar heftige job, omdat hij alles met de hand deed. Hierna schafte Otto de computer aan. Vele ontwerpopdrachten volgden, en Otto leefde zich jarenlang uit in illustraties en logo's. En hij legde zich toe op het VJ-en. Het schilderen verdween in die tijd naar de achtergrond, de reden waarom hij het ontwerpwerk en illustreren op den duur weer heeft afgestoten.
Waar ben je tegenwoordig mee bezig?
Ottograph: "Ik focus me op het schilderen van grote doeken, die ik exposeer. In galerie Vips in Rotterdam hangen bijvoorbeeld doorlopend doeken van mij, maar ook in galeries in Amsterdam en Den Bosch. Vorig jaar had ik nog een expositie in Rome en deze zomer zelfs in St. Petersburg, waar ik erg blij mee ben. Op dit moment heb ik een expositie in de Bijenkorf Amsterdam. Er hangen schilderijen in de galerie, en in de Chill Out kun je jassen en petjes kopen, waar een zeefdruk van mij op staat. Afgelopen zomer heb ik meegedaan aan een kunstproject waarbij zes kunstenaars ieder een tent beschilderden, die op diverse festivals te zien waren, waaronder Lowlands. Vrij recent heb ik ook nog een auto beschilderd, voor een open dag van een school: de kinderen mochten met Ottograph een auto beschilderen. Dus ik ben met een hoop dingen bezig kun je wel zeggen."
———————
De Amsterdammer Ottograph was een van de eerste graffiti artiesten van Amsterdam samen met kunstenaars en vormgevers zoals Shoe en Delta. Begin jaren ’90 was Ottograph een van de eerste VJ’s die met 3d animatie werkte, een gegeven wat hem al snel internationale roem opleverde.
Als vormgever vonden zijn logo’s gretig aftrek onder bedrijven als Microsoft, Nike, Fanta, Panasonic, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Nieuwe Revu en muzikant Junki XL. Ottograph was niet alleen deel van de populaire beeldcultuur hij was ook in zekere mate bepalend voor de koers en de ontwikkeling er van. Tegenwoordig houdt Ottograph zich nog alleen bezig met schilderkunst, waar hij dagelijks verslag van doet op Youtube. Dit maakt hem tot een tegendraadse en eigentijdse Bob Ross. Ottograph heeft actieve deelname aan de populaire beeldcultuur bewust achter zich gelaten maar laat zich er nog wel duidelijk door inspireren in zijn schilderkunst en gebruikt een van de populairste media van vandaag de dag om hier verslag van te doen.
Amsterdam is sinds kort een toeristische attractie rijker genaamd "Ottograph Street". Kunstenaar Otto Kruijsen besloot iets te doen aan de voorheen "enge" Wijdesteeg in het centrum. Zeven maanden later blijkt het een hit op instagram. Toeristen komen er geregeld op af.

Over de kunstenaar
Woont en werkt in Amsterdam.
'Een pseudoniem biedt geen specifieke voordelen', zegt de kunstenaar die sinds 1993 opereert onder de naam Ottograph Speciale Service, maar 'ik probeer een beetje mysterieus te houden wie of wat er achter Ottograph zit, alsof het een soort kunstbedrijf (factory) is.' Ottograph is actief op het grensgebied van design, illustratie en beeldende kunst. De grens daartussen is aangenaam vaag: een illustratie, gemaakt voor een opdrachtgever, kan geïsoleerd en uitvergroot een tweede leven als kunstwerk gaan leiden. De beelden die hij maakt, zijn strak en clean, tot het uiterste gestileerd en vaak in felle kleuren uitgevoerd. Ze hebben de aantrekkingskracht van logo's, die er zo vanzelfsprekend uitzien alsof ze altijd hebben bestaan. Als illustrator en ontwerper werkte en werkt Ottograph voor onder meer Microsoft, Nike, Panasonic, Ford, Mercedes-Benz en Nieuwe Revu. Zijn bekendste bandlogo maakte hij voor de groep Junkie XL. Over zijn favoriete logo's zegt hij: 'Het is misschien een cliché, maar ik ga voor The Beatles en de Stones. Die 'T' van The Beatles is heel radicaal.
Over het logo van de Stones kan ik kort zijn: een monument. Net als Coca Cola en de 'M'-arcade van McDonald's.' Zijn opleiding kreeg hij op straat, 'tussen de metrostellen.' Op zijn tiende begon hij met graffiti op muren en treinen. Daarna begon hij op doek te werken. Hij zat een jaar lang op de Rietveldacademie in Amsterdam, maar dat was geen succes: 'Veel te soft.' Die kortstondige opleiding en enkele computercursussen niet meegerekend, beschouwt hij zich vooral als autodidact. Gevraagd naar zijn belangrijkste invloeden somt hij op: 'Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, Jasper Johns, Keith Haring, Kenny Sharf. Andere inspiratiebronnen zijn graffiti, films, Afrikaanse, Mexicaanse en Japanse kunst, muziek, grafische vormgeving.' Op tentoonstellingen exposeert Ottograph zowel computerprints als schilderijen. Het een sluit het ander niet uit, vindt hij: 'Ik beoefen ze naast elkaar en ben juist geïnteresseerd in de wisselwerking ervan. Ik ben beter gaan schilderen sinds ik met de computer werk. Daar staat tegenover dat je op de computer sneller je composities kunt aanpassen.'

"I WALKED DOWN A DIFFERENT STREET"
{The Red Ladder Series}

Again I am still in building frame of mind. I walk a fair amount in San Francisco and many street are new or have changed since the last time I was there. Architecture intrigues me and I find it interesting on many levels. This one is collaged with book pages and then painted with acrylic paint. The words give an added texture to this painting. The "red ladder" is an ongoing Native American fascination. What do you think?
