REALISM June 10 2009 Art
By now you should have soaked in the new site. It's a completely different look from the previous one, and that's exactly what we wanted. I like to call it maturity. What I am most proud of is the launch of the CA E-zine. This feature accomplishes one of my own personal goals - to be a writer. So I get to do that, and meet really interesting people that shape the City of Angels. When version 4.0 went live last Friday morning, we had published two completed interviews. One of them was with painter, Justin Bua.
This was a real treat for me, to get to interact with the guy that painted the art on my own walls. As I wrote in the Q&A, I've admired his work for a long time. It falls into the category of "art that I prefer". I can appreciate the pieces of great classical artists, but I admittedly find them hard to relate to. Bua tells stories, stories of places I know, stories of people that I myself have come across. To establish that connection through canvas is quite a feat.
So if you haven't had a chance to read about him, please do so here. I only hope that his art speaks to you as much as it has to me.
