I have posted some self portraits from last year in the two thousand eleven folder. There are a few that I was a little iffy about posting but I did anyway. I like them so I hope you will too. Since it has been getting colder and colder I have spent less time out shooting and more time in sketching, drawing, and painting. I have some work that I am debating on putting up here soon. So stay tuned.

In other news I have landed an assisting job with photographer Catherine Wink, who has done some amazing things. She took a little hiatus to be a mom, but she is back on the horse and is in full gear. I am happy to be involved with her and excited to do some new things. Hopefully things will work out great!

I also mailed a letter to skateboard clothing  juggernaut Altamont a few weeks back thanking them for their inspiration in the art world. They sponsor some amazing artisits, some of which have inspired my work. Well whats really awesome is that they responded to my letter and sent me some free gear. So I wrote them a thank you note with a few small paintings and who knows maybe they will like them and maybe that can be a start to something.

Well heres to twenty-twelve…a year of endless possibilities!!

With the start of the new year I posted four new images from 2011. They probably wont be the last of my imagery from 2011 that gets posted but  I can defiantly say that I am eager to get some new imagery in 2012. I hope to capture some amazing new people and moments to post and share with you as you comes across my site.

I hope you all had an amazing holiday season and a safe new years.

too great and unpredictable moments in the future 2012!!!

By the time five o’clock rolls around it’s virtually pitch black out. We have had a few nice days here and there but they will soon be gone. So with the cold and the lack of sun shooting photographs have become a little more difficult. However I have been burning the candle at both ends in the studio. I have been working on a number of new paintings and hope to stay motivated and creative as winter approaches. I intend to bang out as much art as possible while I’m not out shooting. So hopefully I will have a large body of new paintings accumulating over the next couple months. maybe I will even post some in the creative hands album to show you all where I’m heading.

Outside of that I have a couple of gnarly weeks planned. Two concerts in NYC next week , back in Middletown for a little while, then VA for a week in early Dec. So I am hoping for some nice days and the opportunities to get some new photographs. That would be amazing!!

Well thanks again and until next time,

Philip J.

If you happen to check them out I hope you like them or hate them or something, as long as you don’t ehh them.

well until next time.

A grant through LARAC of Glens Falls. They are handing out four grants in January of two thousand twelve. The four artists will be announced in December, and I am hoping to be one of those four!

Aside from that I am working on some different ideas for portraits and self portraits, some of which I have already put into action. I have some new work that I am debating on putting on the site. SO you will have to stop by frequently to see if I have put it up!

Outside of art, I have a fun filled couple months ahead. Conan O’Brian in NYC November second, The Airborne Toxic Event in NYC on November eighteenth , Awolnation in NYC on November twenty- first, all followed by a trip to Virginia November thirtieth  to December fifth to see a good friend and go to 96X Winter Meltdown music festival.

Trying to make art and stay smiling.

So this week has been pretty awesome for me. Art wise, which is the great news,  I have been able to get some of my art that is not photography scanned in and posted. I do realize that  some of the images are a little foggy and out of focus but its do to the scanner I have. another factor is the canvas boards, they throw off my scanner and come out blurry. I apologize.  But regardless I am stoked to have them up.

Even more excited art news is that I have been accepted to join this juried art exhibition in Glens Falls that I applied for in early December. I will have a showing from July 10th- August 6th at a participating cafe. I will be showing upwards of eight photographs, which are not all displayed on my site here. I am super excited

So that’s the exciting art news. My good news is that i finally got a job :) . I will be working for a well known and respected company known as Quad Graphics. Aside from that my girlfriend and I are possibly getting a gorgeous puppy. A toy fox terrier, which we have already, and not so wisely, named Ruby.  That’s still up in the air but we will see.

thanks for stopping by and i will continue to post new works, so until next time!

here we are 2011. i have been working pretty hard on some art works lately. i am currently trying to get an art related job at a college in my new area.  i am very excited and hoping things go my way!! please wish me luck!!

i have also spent couple hours scanning in some of my art work. its not amazing quality but its okay. i am thankful for the scanner i have. my parents are super awesome and got me a photo printer/scanner for NO reason!! just because they are rad! so as you know these printer are pretty good but obviously not top notch. but that okie dokie i like it better that way. well enough with the ramble, my point is, is that i hope to have some art work posted this weekend. so you 3 or 4 viewers i do have can look at some of my work away from my camera!

i am still hoping for a remodel on the site soon!!! keeping my fingers crossed!

until next time…
