Art Interview

My first artist I interviewed was my good pal Adrian Lopez. He has been painting and creating art works for a while now. He has been doing art for about thirteen years now. He gets his inspiration from the artist Dave Kinsey and is one of favorite artists too. But another one of his favorite painters is Any Warhol. Adrian Lopez like to imitate both of there work but also had his own twist to them, making them a little more modern. Like Andy Warhol painting of a banana Adrian painted also but added dollar signs around it making it to where kids today will like it also. Adrian Lopez has done many works like that. He does most of his paintings for fun because he enjoys it thoroughly. Adrian most used medium is mostly pencil or ink. He is even known to use oil pastels on some drawings, but his favorite medium is pencil. Adrian has sold some of his pieces on Myspace.com for an amount from fifty to hundred dollars. I have seen his work in person and there are really good. Adrian Lopez is a great artist and I think he will make an impact on the art seen in San Antonio Soon.

The next artist I am going to interview is my friend Jesus. I think he is an amazing artist. Jesus mostly uses pencil and marker, but he can also do some good drawing on the program paint on the computer. Everything he does comes out great. He is currently enrolled at Palo Alto College and is taking some art classes even though it is not his major. He likes to mostly draw famous people or comics like spider man or alien Vs. Predator. His self portraits of him self are really good. He had this drawing were he is half Venom form spider man and half himself. Jesus medium is pencil and marker because he likes to shade a lot. A lot of our friends ask him to draw tattoos for them. But like Adrian, Jesus does what he does for fun. I think he can really take it to the next level and be noticed.

My last Artist is Adrian’s friends Ruben. Ruben’s medium is color pencil but also can use a regular pencil very well. Most of his work has really good coloring, and most of his work is unrealistic. But that is not all he does he can do a lot of realistic work also that is the same quality. He was a state competition winner a couple years in a row in high school. He also sells some of his art in first Friday and also on Myspace.com. In total all of these artists are amazing. In think all the artist I choose for my interview can make a big impact on the art seen in San Antonio.
