Interview with David Sanchez - Surrealist, Psychedelic Artist

David Sanchez Wheatridge. Colorado. USA Mediums: digital Style: Surrealism - psychedelic Favorite Quote: “It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.” Oscar Wilde Favorite Books: The Last Cavalier, The Picture of Dorian Gray Favorite Movies: The Fifth Element, The Fountain, The Warriors Favorite Music: Anything from Funk to Classical music, to Heavy Metal - To Hip Hop. The list goes on and on. I am a new artist producing digital <a title="surrealist paintings" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2013/08/surreal-paintings-visionary-art.html">surrealist paintings</a> with a slight cartoon flavor to them. I began drawing regularly only two years ago after being diagnosed as an Epileptic. This disorder seemingly gave me the ability to draw and I quickly amassed skill in a very short time period and now wish to share my talent with the world.   <img title="david sanchez kick" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="david sanchez kick" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-teUhc0NSwZQ/UpJ24vQp9rI/AAAAAAAAS9Y/e5SS3lfzvD4/davidsanchezkick7.jpg?imgmax=800" width="400" height="600"> Kick © David Sanchez This one instantly popped into my mind during  a conversation of the Movie 300.

Through the thick brushstroke I try to give to them a primitive look, rather raw and quite esquematic. My paintings are not in a hurry. They are slow, with little elements and frozen in time. I have always been very interested in all that is involved with figures, that is why my paintings show these contemplative figures, isolated.

I grew up in Sumner a suburb of Christchurch. My first memory of drawing was a primary school trip when the whole class went down to the beach and to my amazement I looked at shag rock and transferred my vision onto paper. Throughout high school I would often draw in my books and copy the answers down from a friend. I really enjoyed art and music at high school. I didn’t stay long I wanted to get out into the big wide world. One of my earlier jobs after leaving school was at a florist shop arranging flowers, customer service etc.  It had been picked up that I was a creative type. I paint reality because my mind seems to at time wonder all over the place and painting slows down my breathing when I get into the zone. I paint where I holiday… live, have lived (landscapes) and what I love. Flowers and trees and child hood memory's come into play too.

If you are involved in the online art community and posting your art at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Etsy, Fine Art America, Behance, Saatchi Online, and other sites – it may be easy to think there are too many artists, and way too much competition.

Or is this the real problem: There are not enough art collectors to sustain such massive numbers of artists.

Lloyd Knowles Artist – Metaphors and Other Visions

Lloyd Knowles Utah, USA Although I’ve been working in painting (and other forms of art) for 4 years, my <a title="portfolio" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2013/09/portfolio-website-bio-contact.html">portfolio</a> is increasing. I studied art along with my architectural program, then set it aside for 37 years while busy with a career in architecture (design) and raiding a family of nine. The economic bubble bursting can either be seen as either a blessing or a disaster. It took out my architectural firm – but also fast tracked my work in art. This was done on the assumption that if I couldn’t make an income I might as well be enjoying it. Although I have yet to exhibit outside of my home state of Utah (trying to expand), I have enjoyed the opportunity of two solo exhibits, published in two museum catalogs and am active in local art organizations.   <img title="Walking on Water" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Walking on Water" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-q_OLvwQA-bg/UoFL_yh-G7I/AAAAAAAAS0M/xRbkfmIa8TA/WalkingonWater6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="550" height="376"> Walking on Water - Lloyd Knowles

Pixels.com – New Print on Demand Site from the Creator of Fine Art America

Pixels.com is a new website from the makers of <a title="Fine Art America" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2012/01/fine-art-america-quick-tour.html">Fine Art America</a>. It looks identical to its predecessor and even has the same products for sale as print on demand – canvas prints, acrylic prints, framed prints, greeting cards, posters, metal prints and more. The main difference here is the capability of selling print on demand phone cases for iPhone and Samsung Galaxy – and to be announced POD products.   <img title="pixels iphone cases" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="pixels iphone cases" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-r9FyjM_rst4/Unkf4K3x_tI/AAAAAAAASp4/cfNatCQcKYc/pixels-iphone-cases%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="550" height="275">   Why did the makers of Fine Art America create this identical site? The Fine Art America forum provides the answer. <blockquote> FineArtAmerica.com is a great domain name if you’re interested in buying and selling ‘fine art’… and you’re an American. Unfortunately, we get asked all the time… ‘Do you ship to England?’… ‘Do you ship to Australia?’… ‘I’m a photographer living in Spain, can I join your site?’… etc. Why did we buy Pixels.com? 1. We wanted a truly international domain name that would eliminate all of the questions, above, and allow our members to market themselves all over the world. 2. We wanted to expand our product offering beyond the world of ‘fine art’. <a title="FineArtAmerica.com" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2012/01/fine-art-america-print-on-demand.html">FineArtAmerica.com</a> has been in business since 2006, and over the years, we’ve fielded thousands of requests from members asking us to start selling iphone cases, calendars, puzzles, and more. None of those products fall under the ‘fine art’ title, and as a result, we never added them to the site. 3. Pixels.com is an amazing domain name! In our opinion, it’s the best domain name on the internet for anyone involved in the visual arts. The word ‘pixel’ is pronounced (and spelled) almost exactly the same in every language on the planet. We’re in the business of created print-on-demand products from digital pixels… Pixels.com is the perfect name.</blockquote>

Social media fans also have the potential of turning into collectors of the artist’s work.   <a title="Follow APM on Facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/artpromotivate" rel="nofollow"><img title="Follow APM on Facebook" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Follow APM on Facebook" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-yAmq_OXU8Uk/Una7mYwrEhI/AAAAAAAASoc/xd1PQCN8kUo/artists-on-facebook%25255B7%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="600" height="270"></a>   Throughout the past year, I have been posting much concerning Facebook, such as these articles: <a title="Free Facebook Course" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2013/07/free-facebook-course-promote-art.html" rel=" ">Free Facebook Course</a> <a title="3 Successful Facebook Artists" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2012/09/facebook-pages-to-promote-art.html" rel="nofollow">3 Successful Facebook Artists</a> <a title="11 Tips to Get Facebook Fans" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2012/05/11-tips-and-tricks-to-get-facebook-fans.html">11 Tips to Get Facebook Fans</a> <a name="more"></a> I’ve been recommending all online artists have a Facebook page.

Sophie Penstone Artist - The Power of Colour

Sophie Penstone Cornwall, UK Mediums: Acylic ink and watercolour Style: loose, impressionistic, illustrative Favorite Quote: “Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.” Favorite Book: His Dark materials Favorite Movie: Schindlers List   <img title="Winter Thaw" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="Winter Thaw" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-fwwR4V7POYA/UnRcmBofa5I/AAAAAAAASnc/YQ3c40yw9MY/WinterThaw6.jpg?imgmax=800" width="550" height="412"> Winter Thaw © Sophie Penstone - Early morning across the rolling hills in Cornwall, just as the morning frost was disappearing   After studying for my degree, I moved to Cornwall in the South West of England. The move to this part of the world inspired me to try and paint everyday and recreate the ever-changing beautiful landscape. I am inspired by many things but mostly woodlands, colour and shadows. Over the last ten years I have exhibited successfully throughout Cornwall as well as nationwide in group and solo shows. Painting initially with <a title="watercolour" href="http://www.artpromotivate.com/2013/10/watercolor-paintings-landscapes.html">watercolour</a> onto stretched, primed canvas is an unconventional technique that allows for a greater freedom with image size as well as allowing washes to be layered and disturbed, should I wish. I overlay this background with acrylic ink taking advantage of its fluidity, intensity, vibrancy and transparent qualities.

Shortly after grad school I paid off my student loans and saved up some "travel money." Knowing I wanted to get away for about a year and just do some painting I spun the globe and landed my finger on Taiwan. A few months later I exited the subway in downtown Kaoshiung City and made my way to the nearest hostel. </li></ol>
