Bus Man..

My favorite graphite piece in my gallery.

Jenn - Numb

My favorite submission to the "Face The Emotions" Series.

Devious Journal Entry

Tue Oct 13, 2009, 12:08 AM
It's about time to make that monthly journal update..

Since last month I have managed to sell two paintings and work on some projects from freelance graphic design. It was pretty exciting and needed the extra money. I actually traded one painting for an Ipod touch, which was out of the ordinary form of transaction, but I think it was well traded.

I haven't wasted my time on bogus nonpaying projects. I'm sick for giving free service to people who are more than capable of paying me. It's sad really, people can be stingy like that. I hate it when people take advantage of your skills to benefit themselves and/or their organization. Compensation in a form of trade, money, or skill for skill is good, but free? Probono my asshole! Nothing in this world is free, even love.

I've moved on from different subjects for Face the Emotions. You won't be seeing any of the older model that I've previously had in my gallery. I had a falling out with her, once I saw her for what she really is. It's sad really, she was kinda growing on me. Oh well, on to the next muse..

My art manager has set me up two shows in the area, one in D.C. and V.A.. Hopefully, the dates pull through. I'll keep you posted.

I'm going to have a photo shoot this Nov. 1. They keep getting prettier and expressive and I keep painting all year round.

Also, I might get this mural gig in a Mexican restaurant, I'll also keep you all posted.

Anyways, it's great to see justice in action. No, not the court kind, but the one called karma...crucial domination...what? what a joke..

That's it for now..

Glen "Foo" Brown was born in San Pablo, Philippines in August 20th, 1981. Grew up in the streets of Alexandria, VA. He attended John Adams Elementary, Francis C. Hammond Middle School, and graduated T.C. Williams High School in 2000. He attended Art Institute of Washington in Summer of 2000, but dropped out within 2 years of his college career due to the lack of tuition funds.

Art was a daily occurrence in Glen's early life. As a child, he would draw with anything he could he his hands on and on anything he could see. Often, he would get into trouble with his Mother for drawing on walls. This state of mind carried on until his early teen and adulthood, this time using spray cans as a medium, and street walls as his surface. Virtually unknown as a street artist, he became accustomed to keep it a secret. He would finally emerge as an airbrush artist in Spring of 2007. It was not until a friend brought it to his attention that he should be spraying with an airbrush. "It's much more sophisticated than a spray can!", said his fellow artist friend. Since then, Glen has fallen in love with the medium, and continues to explore new techniques and harness his skills as an airbrush artist.

Influences

Glen owes his influences to his public school teachers of every year of his education. It was those whom he owes his gratitude and respect for teaching him the ways of an artist. His other influences are from the works of Chuck Close (for his portraits), H.R. Giger (for his airbrush work), Olivia (for capturing the beauty of women), among a plethora of other artists.

Face the Emotions 2007-beyond

Face the Emotions is his first series of artwork with a theme. The subjects are mainly people that around him in his daily life. The portraits of faces he renders are of close friends, people he finds interesting, or anyone that has a personality he finds endearing and/or inspirational. Most of his subjects are people he met through the internet, bars, and parties. Glen seeks the essence of that person in his renderings to capture it in a way that is entertaining, thought provoking, and emotional.

Current

Glen spends most of his time drinking coffee as a freelance graphic designer and spends time countless hours in his studio working on Face The Emotions Series. As an unknown artist, he hopes he can find the right gallery for his artwork.
