Just another Walker Blogs weblog

Part of: blogs.walkerart.org

 

I really enjoyed Walker photographer Gene Pittman’s recent post about his portrait of skateboard videographer Ty Evans.  I immediately got excited when I saw that old school Powell Peralta ripper graphic, and I commented that the graphic was one of the images that got me interested in art.  As a fiery young dork imprisoned in small town USA, I was riveted by the danger and recklessness that the image represented.  As an added bonus, Ma absolutely HATED it.  It got me thinking about other images that inspired my creative path in life.  Here are some, in no particular order:

 Picasso's Guernica

Oh no, what have I started?  I had better stop now.  What are your influential images?  Post them in reply.

  2. Okay, so I’ve discovered you can’t post an image as a reply, which totally kills my plan for a endless string of images in this post. You shall reply with links to images instead. Sigh.
