⭐️ ART + LiFE Update ⭐️

"Surreal Pop Mind"

 

As many of you know, or are kinda aware of, I am taking a break from creating ART.

I'm taking a much needed break from creating art, Quechua Book II, music, and just about anything else that requires my total undivided attention and razor sharp focus.

I, absolutely, love creating—conjuring up art of any kind because, not only is it immensely therapeutic, but it is such a neat feeling to create something out of nothing and have it mean something totally wonderful to someone else: Amazingly Awesome.

This is just me checking in with you: making sure you're OK, great and/or groovy - which, I truly HOPE you are. I'm hoping tooMuch you're staying Focused, Afloat, and above all, Taking Extra Good Care of Yourself

***If you're dealing with Anxiety, just immerse yourself in all that makes you Laugh, Giggle, Smirk, Silly, Feel Loved and Feel Extra Happy. No, I'm serious. Dive deep into All that Brings You some kinda Happiness. Find and delve into that Inner Peace: praying, meditating, breathing exercises, endless hours of music, etc. Become one with yourself, your world and eventually, the universe. 

Gallons, or if you prefer, Bite-sized bits of Happiness can be found in a movie, a song, album, the beach, the ocean, the outdoors (take a deep breath), concert, festival, fleamarket, thrift store, antique shop, music store, searching for that one album, walk down your favorite neighborhood, winery, park, lake, your favorite episode from that one outrageously obscure, but charming TV show, or your favorite BOOK. 

Books are very magical things, indeed. As well as being an artist, I'm also, from an early age, a proud bookworm and have evolved or upgraded into a poly-reader: I take immerse delight in reading more than one book at a time. To put it simply, I'm a juggler of books. 😊

The keyword here is PERSEVERANCE. It's one of my favorite words. No, there is no wall, it's all in your head. If you by chance see a wall: You Break Right Through That Damn Wall. If you encounter any obstacles, you Must Go Forward, Right On Through, and Remember: If you posses Magical abilities like creating any kind of Art, illuminating others with your Talent or have a vast and endless Imagination, Use Them Often and, above all, Wisely. 

We all have a SPIRIT, we certainly have a SOUL, you gotta learn to Use and Harness its ENERGY. Be Bold, Brave, Fearless, LovingPensiveThoughtful in Everything that You Do, in all that Truly Matters, Give it Your All, Do It From The Heart. Think about this: The appearance of ANGELS are Luminous and 'Scary' because they are PURE of HEART. When they appear they say: "Do Not Be Afraid." Or "Fear Not."***

I'll leave you with a quote from one of my favorite books. Oh yeah, obviously, I most definitely have one too many favorite books. 

"Then he [The Star-Child] waited, marshaling his thoughts and brooding over his still untested powers. For though he was master of the world, he was not quite sure what to do next. But he would think of something."

Arthur C. Clarke's essays, shorts stories and novels always have this wonderful way of igniting my surreal pop mind + imagination.

KISS | BOOKS


KISS · BOOKS

I have a reading problem. You see, I can't just read one book. I tend to read up to 3-4 books at once. Some years ago I used to read up to six books at the same time.

During the summer I take a break from reading too much, and I just focus on one book. I've made it a tradition to read a KISS related book during the summer.

I've actually used (and still use) KISS: Behind The Mask as a guide and super-inspiration in my immersion into POP ART. KISS: Behind The Mask never stops to inspire and motivate me.

Focused, Determined + Brainstorming @ 170 BPM


Greetings, Hello & Hola!

I've been super-busy creating: music, art, 'designing', compiling an art book featuring 2012 & 2013 art, & reading 5 books at the same time - I'm a poly-reader. 

I posted my contact information above so you can contact me about anything Pescoran Art related (paintings, drawings, designs, video-art, music, art books, art prints, etc.) or if you wanna just say, "Hello!"

Visit: NeologicSpasm.bandcamp.com

I've come to the realization and acceptance that I am a multimedia artist. I absolutely love and cannot stop creating, and totally immerse myself in using available tools & technology to express myself. 

When creating art, never limit yourself and always use whatever tools you can to bring your vision to life. It is always good to 'branch out' and teach yourself to use different mediums in order to take your art to new and different horizons.
