Watermuse + Art on Main Street


Done in both of Photoshop and Illustrator this was inspired by a couple of stories of Mermaids from Barranquilla a coastal town of Colombia. In the summer I had the pleasure of visting this colorful town that is know for his Carnivals in February. This piece was shown last week "Weekend Art Show" in Miami Lakes, made some new friends got some great advice from local artist and sold three pieces Yay!



Madremonte previous post wasn't shown sold before I took this photo..



A couple teachers at the show have informed me that many public elementary and middle schools have cut Art, Music, & P.E. from there curriculum.. So tragic to think so many young kids won't be able to discover their talent. Just reminded me of a talk I saw on TED by Sir Kent Robinson about schools kill creativity. I couldn't imagine sitting in grade school with out painting and going out side for recess. Looking forward to my Art teacher everyday since kindergarden has made me who I am today.. Unfortunately many kids will be lost in a broken system if we dont take action..


Realizado en Photoshop y Illustrator esta ilustracion fue inspirada por las sirenas de Barranquilla una ciudad costera de Colombia. En verano tuve el placer de visitar este linda ciudad que es conocido por sus carnavales en febrero. Esta pieza se exibo la semana pasada "Weekend Art Show" en Miami Lakes, hecho nuevos amigos, recibir algunos consejos de artistas locales y vende tres piezas Yay!


Un par de profesores en la exposición me han informado que muchas escuelas públicas de primaria y secundaria en Miami han cortadon Arte, Música, y Fisca de su currículum .. Trágico para muchos niños a que no puedenan descubrir su talento. Sólo me recordó una charla que vi en TED por Sir Kent Robinson acerca de las escuelas matan la creatividad. No me podía imaginar estar en la escuela primaria sin poder pintar o salir a jugar futbol. Desafortunadamente muchos niños se perderán en un sistema que no funciona.

Nice piece! I agree with you about art in schools. Sometimes art (or music or sports) is the only reason kids want to stay in school. It's sad that it's always the first thing to go.
Hope you're well :)
