Laura Shodire

Laura Shodire is an accomplished visual artist, singer, poet and model in the Los Angeles Area. She is passionate about the art's and lives a life of constant creation. She has the most detailed work I have ever seen in my level. I am confident that with the right marketing skills one day her work will one day become extremely expensive which is why I have already invested in it, not to sell of coarse but because I have to get it while I can!  She is one of my absolute favorite artists. She is nothing short of one of those rare miracle geniuses of the arts excelling in multiple areas, and at a very young age has already reached an extremely advanced level of art making. She uses Sharpie Micron pens on drawing paper, and her work often focuses on themes that are mythological and as tyical of greek myths represent much larger allegorical themes deeply rooted in psychology. This Large piece "Veritas" is inspired by the story of how Veritas the Adolesent Daughter of virtue  ends up hiding in a well, because she is tired of constantly being sought after by knowledge seekers, and wants to be alone. She gets stuck down there at the bottom where she is entertained by the Godess Vice who keeps her company at the bottom of the well, but is not always the best influence. Eventually her mother comes finds her and carries Veritas out of the well!

Welcome To My Blogge

A little bit about me. I'm a 24 year old future teacher. I enjoy making art, cooking, hiking, and film. I decided to start this art history blog to help you...and me (ironicly) learn about cool underground ( and a couple favorite famous) visual artists from all over the world. I'll post a new artist of the day everyday and am looking forward to gathering some avid readers. 

Artist of the Day: Patrick Valenza 

Patrick is known for his amazing Deviant moon Tarot Deck. Even if your not into Tarot, the artwork on this is an incredible mix of technical precision, imaginative innovation, vivid storytelling and dramatic flair. These surreal tarot cards feature charactures both beautiful and grotesque, seemingly mythic yet oddly human. The card take influence from the classical renaissance period, both in technique, and also because of the periods ties to Tarot.  I have seen a lot of artwork, and would bestow upon this the rare and precious label  this as truley original and unique Artwork. You can buy Mr. Valenza's Artwork at http://www.deviantmoon.com. please Check it out, it is definatly worth seeing!
