Bushwick Open Studios

I know this post is very short notice, but I'm excited to announce that I'm going to be a part of Bushwick Open Studios with 360˚. Arts In Bushwick BOS is a 3 day arts festival in Brooklyn in which local artists get to list their studio spaces open to the public through AIB. 360˚ Open Studio will only be open to the public on Sunday, June 7th, from 1pm to 7pm. The address for our studio space is listed on artsinbushwick.org or you can download the Bushwick Open Studio app from iPhones and androids along with the other participating studios/artists. For more updates on our open studio and 360˚ go to degreesof360.blogspot.com

Visual Diary IV

One of the main objectives for my Visual Diary series is to conceptually express the intimate details of my personal life using minimal to no words. However, I want the viewer to interpret the renderings and or words presented in each piece for themselves so that they may create their own unique experience. I believe in collaborating with not only other artists but viewers as well. My goal is to not only make illustrations that reflect my current state of being but to allow other people to draw their own conclusions on what the subject means to them.

Male Figure Studies

Naturally, the human figure has always intrigued me. I've began to pursue that interest and integrate the human form into the subject matter of my artwork. I always prefer drawing from life than an image or photograph. In the past, I've always had female models so recently I've made a conscious effort to challenge myself with studying the male body. If you'd like to inquire or volunteer as a model contact me at austin.tabor989@gmail.com

Visual Diary III

I know it's been about a year since my last Visual Diary entry but I have not forgotten the importance of this series. My biggest road block that I must overcome as an artist is continuous production and completion of artworks. It's something I'm constantly aware of and working on. Series like this one really help me with concepts, composition, and execution. For the full on going Visual Diary series go to artbyaustin.carbonmade.com
