A New Body - "Faces of Evil"

Hey everyone!!!! Happy Holidays!!! As part of my recent obsession with postmodernism and pop art, I've decided to show off the first piece from a new body of work called "Faces of Evil." The intention of this project is to get my audience to consider the nature of evil, as well as its relation to genius. The subjects I have chosen range from leaders of industry, serial killers, legendary artists, groundbreaking scientists, as well as politicians. Every selection was based on several criterion, every individual has achieved notoriety as an immoral, or evil person. Every person illustrates extremely advanced levels of comprehension and analytical thinking. Some people may feel that some of my subjects do not belong in this body of work, but I assure you all, everyone I am exhibiting illustrates both positive and negative qualities. Im most excited to hear feedback prior to the first public exhibition of this body of work in spring 2011. Thanks for checking it out, and please comment freely!!!

And a Happy Holidays to you !!!

As the year draws to a close, I've been reflecting on some projects and ideas that I aim to complete in 2011... Since I have decided not to apply to graduate school this year, I must push ever forward in preparation for application next year. Anyone who knows me knows the, at times terrifyingly, passionate way I approach my work. Sometimes, this can be my hindrance. After such a long period of public inactivity, it is my most sincere and altruistic aim to make the first new work I show, simply outstanding. To those of you who know me well, that does not mean flashy or simply relying on shock value. I have been plagued with dreams of a renaissance... I've felt the winds of change, a calling if you will, from some unknowable corner of the cosmos... I think the factory is ready for its first group creation.... only some of you will know what that means..... I would like anyone who is interested in participating to submit one piece of work (single photo, group of photos, sketches, collage, painting, etc.) at web res. to my email. Stewartaphotography@yahoo.com with your contact info.... This is in preparation for a group show later in the year (2011). Make it your best, make it soulful, make it real!

The topic for this first submission is : "Humanity's Wake-Up Call"

Show the worst part of humanity. Illustrate one of our worst characteristics (war, hate, rape, apathy, drug abuse, poverty, etc) and illustrate your idea of hope surrounding that concept. If this is at all confusing, message me and I'll clarify... this idea just came to me in my sleep last evening... and I really feel moved to pursue this... I will contact those of you that I trust most... I hope my instincts are not wrong and everyone takes this seriously! I look forward to seeing your submissions!! I will also be submitting, and all submissions will go up on this blog for the group to see!!! The deadline for this first exercise is Valentine's Day! Feb 14 2011 !!!

Please invite all serious artists to get involved with this....
