<h1>Layered Figures</h1>
<p>Practice <em>will</em> make perfect. Well... almost perfect.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A technique in improving drawing skills is to just keep drawing - whenever you can.  It encourages creativity and is often therapeutic.  If you are looking to spark a fire for art, the last thing to think about is making it perfect.  There is no such thing! Focus on your intentions and the fact that you are even doing it at all, because that in itself is an accomplishment.</p>
<p>Art is truly up to your interpretation.  If you hold yourself under the bounds of what someone else thinks is perfect, then art may feel like a job.  When in reality, art is beauty.</p>

<h1>1) Geography </h1>
<h2>Instagram is a great way to connect with artists who live across the country or around the globe. </h2>
<p>I acquired a piece like this from artist Tim Nikiforuk, who lives in San Diego in 2019. If not for Insta, I would never have seen his work. </p>

<p>Artist Dan Lam’s drips took Instagram by storm. Her work really found it’s audience on social media and blew up in a matter of months. </p>
<p>Such works used to be a few hundred dollars, and now they cost ten times that!</p>
<p>Instagram is a good place to find artists before they blow up. </p>

<h1>3) Build Relationships</h1>
<h2>I got to know artist and professor  Bev Fishman through comment and DM exchanges on IG. Not only is she a fantastic artist, but she’s a great person. </h2>
<p>Getting to know Bev allowed me to get preview emails and priority access to her work before the general public. </p>

<p>Artist Sean Krazert has always made great work, but IG has afforded me the opportunity to track his progress and growth as an artist. I waited until his practice had matured to my liking before investing in his work. </p>

<h1>5) Auction Previews</h1>
<h2>Auction houses often preview their best works on Instagram. </h2>
<p>Above is a great work by Larry Poons that I first saw in @christiesinc IG post. </p>

<h1>6) Museums</h1>
<p>Most art museums have a social media presence these days. Follow them to see which artists they’re adding to their collecting. Check out their upcoming shows, and prioritize your travel around the things you want to see!</p>

<h1>New beginnings,</h1>
<p>In the coming Age of Aquarius,</p>
<p>Waves of energy pour in,</p>
<p>Linking with every aura of sentient beings</p>
<p>Around this world. </p>
<p>Change in frequency is upon us,</p>
<p>Tuning us to expand consciousness.</p>
<p>Our time in quarantine allowed for further</p>
<p> introspection and meditation.</p>
<p>The key is to be open to these energies, </p>
<p>seeking the love in every moment. </p>
<p>For energy is light, and light is love in </p>
<p>physical form, though not always visible.</p>
<p>Take the time to do nothing, but just be,</p>
<p>To feel the internal aliveness within, </p>
<p>Allowing you connect directly with the field</p>
<p></p>

Filmmaking

<h1>The mission</h1>
<p>My task with this video was to show the staggering difference between how people used to consume information before technology and how people can consume information now, thanks to apps like Magma.</p>

<h1>The motive</h1>
<p>Show users how all the information they need (politics, financial news, health and lifestyle articles, pro level media galleries) can be found inside this app.</p>

<h1>The edit</h1>
<p>The video should have a perfect balance between information and VFX elements, so that more types of audiences can relate to it and show interest in creating a Magma account.</p>

It was a pleasure creating, shooting and editing the video promoting this awesome app 🔥 Here are some behind the scenes footage from Monday’s shooting ❤️ — @robert_tatoi's mag on Magma

<p>Drift, 1969</p>
<p>Painted in 1969, Pat Lipsky’s ethereal Drift is a key work from her stain paintings of the late 1960’s and early 70’s. </p>
<p>Made from acrylic on raw canvas, works from this series are in major collections across the US, including the Whitney Museum and the Modern Art Museum in Ft. Worth, TX. </p>
