A vanguard of the art movement know as Photorealism and proprietor of the Louis K. Meisel Gallery in SoHo, Louis K. Meisel has made art his life. His 1996 book The Great American Pin-up came across our desk and we contacted Mr. Meisel to get his insight on his specialty.

FF: How would you describe your gallery’s mission and vision?

My focus after inventing the word PHOTOREALISM in 1969 and assembling a number of artists under that genre has been to represent, present , promote and collect the finest post modern, art history making realist painters and sculptors in the ...

Diego Rivera at MoMA

Written by on Nov. 9, 2011 in Art History, Art Installation, Exhibition, Fine Art.

Most of you have probably figured out via context that I call the City of Angels home, always have and plan on it for a long time. But... ever since I first took a bite out of The Big Apple, part of me decided that I could spend a couple of years there. Now, if I could put down a tent and live inside MoMA, I might be convinced to stay.

If you live in, near or visited NYC, you most likely (if you didn't please lie to me) spent some time inside MoMA. The last time I was ...

When people think about graffiti or the "art of" they usually associate it with the outdoors. The side of a train or the ubiquitous wall are the canvas of choice for most aerosol artists. The Art of the Streets has been permeating the higher echelons of art for years now, with pseudo-celebrity artists making headline news earlier this year or with high profile heists like the Marc Ecko gallery theft, it would seem our Artists have are finally coming out of the shadows and are getting the respect they deserved.

Wall of Inspiration

Written by on Sept. 13, 2011 in Concept Art, Digital Art, Exhibition, Fine Art, Graphic-design, Illustration, Poster Art, Typography.

A while ago I started what my friend coined as "the drawer of inspiration." Every time I found something I "liked" I would toss it in the old metal cabinet by by the door. Eventually that turned into a wall of inspiration made up of everything from flyers I found near the local watering hole in Hollywood to direct marketing pieces laying around the post office. Recently I found this virtual wall of inspiration while cleaning up some of my design bookmarks and I thought I would share it with you all. It turns out that the guys at Abduzeedo ...
