Glitter and Fairytales: new Surface of Beauty mural in Bushwick
My latest mural in Bushwick is a tribute to the street art culture of my neighborhood, and I work with tags and wheatpastes that are already in the space. I take you on a journey of my inspiration and process, so watch the video to the end. I'm experimenting with glitter for the first time here, and working with the power of sacred tears.
A note on the glitter-- it is not biodegradable, but I rescued it from a dumpster, so it was going to end up in a landfill anyway. I would definitely think twice about buying these microplastics in large quantity. Fortunately it was a huge bag I salvaged and I have tons left for future projects. I also diligently swept it off the street every evening (literally for hours) so it would not pollute the streets of NYC.
I am a mural artist known as Surface of Beauty, and I paint floral murals all across New York City and the world. I love flowers because they express the joy and color of life.

Bacteria and Interconnectivity -- Surface of Beauty mural in Brooklyn
มุมมอง 6473 ปีที่แล้ว
Did you know that the soil microbiome is a vital part of human health, and the bacteria we consume along with the food we eat forms a network of communication between our cells. We need to learn how to respect and coexist with the bacteria of this planet. The world's microbiome has been very damaged by pesticides and weedkillers. In this video, I explain a little more about the microbiome and p...

How I meditate (and why it's the most important daily practice for an artist)
มุมมอง 4494 ปีที่แล้ว
I share some of my experiences and common misconceptions about meditation. As artists, it's so important to have a way to access and develop our intuition. For me, meditation has been one of the most important practices that has helped me become a successful artist. Artists and other people following their hearts don't have a clear life path laid out for us, so meditating can help us make the b...

    Thank you for your advice- so true that developing that self discipline, routine and confidence to share work online as an artist is daunting. Your journey is inspiring. Meditating is important. Thanks for your video on creating patterns! 😊

    Great work, but I'm finding that "define pattern" and "pattern fill" do not fill my square with my pattern. The rectangle is kept as-is. Any thoughts?

    Too fast. A tutorial should be easy to follow, I'm afraid this feels more like a 'look what I did' video than a 'let me show you how to do this' video.

    This was SO SO SO helpful. My goal is to take my patterns and create bathing suits, surf boards, tote bags, towels, mens shorts and this is exactly what I needed. Every time I search up graphic design its just never what Ive needed (like the scanning, repeating pattern etc). Are you teaching any classes by chance? I also love your flower paintings and would love to learn from you!

    I came here from your video about how you became a full-time artist and that's what I want to do in my life but unfortunately I had to accept a job opportunity in a field that I majored at but after the first training I decided that it's not what I wanna do for the rest of my life and after this I was useless doing nothing and suddenly discovered my love for art and drawing and like spark of lightning hit me and realized that that's what I wanna do till I die ... But the bitter truth about being an artist you starve before you get lucky and start getting revenue so I had to take this job training again and be miserable... Anw if you read this long comment thank you and thanks for the helpful video I don't know why I decided to share this here...

    Having anxiety disorder, it can be rather crippling in certain aspects of life. Not so much the art side but the business side for me. Marketing is not my strongest point and i really struggle getting followings on any platform. I know they say it isn't all about the numbers but it helps when you got more eyes on your work and more people who know your name. 9 months in for me after too long in retail which is soul destroying...hoping I don't have to end up back in retail lol...
