I love the mix of realism while creating illusion. The thoughts this drawing provokes are infinite. The contrast of black and white, the juxtaposition of young versus old, dark and full hair versus white/grey and thinning hair. I can almost see the scalp. Whether it is intentional or not, seeing a penciled sketch version mirroring a full and developed image invokes inspiration.By the way, Who's hand is that?
This picture is both defined and vague. It seems as though water is pouring down. Again, whose hand is that?
This beautiful boy is Jared. This is a haircut grown out from one that I had cut on him in November (Fresh Haircut Shown Below). Mid January he needed a shape up, and to cut some length. I was happy that the shape had held so well, and it still looked good. The canvas always helps, doesn't it. It was nice to see him too:). This is the article that I wrote based upon our first and second meetings. I was impressed by his talent and I now know him much better, and he is a beautiful individual both inside and out. 
Jared carries pictures of his art on his phone. I had the opportunity to see some of his works taken on his camera phone and was blown away. I thought he was showing me an actual photo, it was so precise. Jared is dreaming; and he is going after his dream. Jared is currently attending Laguna College studying as an art major and has two years until he completes his Bachelors Degree in Art. Jared is realistic about the art world and plans to work in a commercial way to “stay in the game”. His ultimate goal is to have his own studio gallery.” In this studio, Jared hopes to profile other artists.
Jared loves to paint “realistic representative art” which is more of a real life concept in images presented. He likes oil paints and painting the human body. He likes to paint figuratively by “using a specific person to imply a narrative.” Through this type of work, there is one center of focus, but the background and encompassing environment is vivid and detailed to provide more information about the main focus. Even though there is just one person painted, there can be so much detail that the whole painting tells a story.
When asked if he paints to music he named off many great artists that Jared finds “thought provoking” helps put him in a “good mood.” Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Sade, and Massive Attack were some of the Artists that he likes to listen to as he paints.
Jared began his journey involving art by “drawing whales and dinosaurs from age 2.” As far as the ability to do art, Jared says that one needs to “train yourself to see forms and then develop them.” He also says that “desire is important, and if you want it you can do it.” Although we each have talents that are unique to the individual, which supersedes the population, he is correct that we all can get better with practice.
When asked if he would ever be a tattoo artist Jared quickly says, “No.” When asked why not, he explained, “I don’t know- I feel like everything becomes similar and contrived” which is what making commercial art is about. Marketing one thing that will please the masses is a difficult task for an artist. It would feel like a repeat if drawing the same thing over and over. Because I did not completely understand what he meant, I asked Jared what he meant by contrived. “Limited and unforgiving” were the clarifications he gave; to which I completely agree. It’s true! Oops, nope, can’t erase tattoo off skin, ha ha, right?
Boys, you lucky boys; Jared is currently single. This cute you thang is single? Why? “I guess none have peeked my interest” is Jared’s reply. Guys, Jared is cute, nice, articulate, and a fantastic artist. If I was you, I would google Claude Vernet.
If Jared could train with any artist he answered “Vernet.” Vernet an eighteenth century French painter who, I quote, about his own paintings, “Others may know better how to paint the sky, the earth, the ocean; no one knows better than I how to paint a picture” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Joseph_Vernet). It takes a strong individual to surpass the barriers and walls to be great at one’s own trade. Life as an artist is even more difficult in this century.
