The Davies Brothers Are 3 of 1

3of1aby Erica Guajardo

In families sometimes, artistic talents are pushed with in a group of siblings so that a bond can develop which will help the progression of the group grow.   Since I have started writing, I have come across a number of families which push their artistic talents together as group, so that each member can develop a name for themselves.  But one particular band of brothers whom stood out to me was the Davies Brothers.  Joshua, Isaac, and Jerrod Davies are a group of brothers, which are more commonly known as 3of1.  What makes them different compared to the other groups that I have come across is that they have developed a business aspect towards art which allow them to tackle any project which is thrown their way.  Continue reading →

IMG_0202[1]by Erica Guajardo

Friday, April 12th, will mark the date where bright colors of fashion, graffiti, and fine art will merge into one space.  Dallas Contemporary Museum will be hosting their opening exhibition which features Walter Van Beirendonck, John Pomara, Soner, and Josephine Durkin; a true treat for those who love energetic hues of color.

Walter Van Beirendonck is a fashion icon who creates avant-garde men’s trends that stimulates the viewer’s imagination on what his inspiration of the collection could be; pushing boundaries with his nontraditional materials, typography, and textures.  This exhibition celebrates his creations of the couture collection which is inspired from pop music, comics, science fiction, and cultural trends.  As well as reminding individuals of why he is branded the nickname of “Cultural Ambassador of Flanders.”

Gallery Walk: Special Art Edition

by Erica Guajardo
Laura Rathe Fine Art: Roy James: “Duality”
On Saturday, April 6th, the galleries on Dragon Street open their doors once again to show Dallas what is trending in the art world.  Although we tend to walk the shows with knowledge of what galleries specialize in what type of art, last gallery walk we notice a new addition to the experience.  Laura Rathe Fine Art is a space which dazzles in the horizon line because it features a gallery space that is two stories.
Opening their second exhibition this weekend to highlight the works of Roi James, which depicts meditative abstract paintings and wood wall sculptures, surrendering the artist thoughts and emotions.   Allowing the artist to be hypnotized the viewer with movement within.  Come visit the solo exhibition Roy James: “Duality”, located at  1130 Dragon Street from 6-9pm.    Continue reading →

“78 on Deck” WAAS Gallery

taylorby Erica Guajarda

One of the journeys of being an artist is making sure that people are able to see your artwork.  Some show in museums, other show in fairs, but the most common place for an artist who has not made it to a museum is showing in a gallery.  Taylor Ellis is WAAS Gallery’s newest resident artist.  On Saturday April 13th, he will open a show called “78 on deck” along the side with collaborative works by Phillip McVean.

In this exhibition Ellis has created a series of tarot cards, which are illustrated through digital design.  Being inspired by a tarot reading which his friend had given to him and the hunger for creating an art show, he developed a group of images which would lead to him not only telling his future, but the future of others.

March Roundup: Standing on the Poop Deck

DisneyCapnby Dr. Spin

Our Spring Break Disney Cruise was the first time I had ever traveled in public with the Little One, and I found out quite quickly that inconveniences like customs checks and lines for boarding passes were pure torture to a toddler. After spending the entire day driving down and navigating these obstacles, we were both about to fall apart as we stepped out on deck to be counted present for the escape plan orientation. The crew was very diligent about passenger participation, and we were given the impression that this was the only time we really needed to be serious. Every man, woman and child were ordered to find their places on the deck and listen carefully to the instructions…hit the deck over at the Pharmacy
