    Art Blog: Jenni Linzy Introduces Mikey Jackson

    Posted on 3 comments

     “Hello, I'm Mikey. I enjoy friends, photography, bicycles, painting, illustration, and all things crunchy.”

    And now you’ve all been introduced to a dear friend of mine, Mikey Jackson! In addition to being one of the kindest people, and the absolute king of witty puns, he is also a talented artist and local favorite here in downtown Phoenix. Recently he has been not only making art for people to enjoy in their personal spaces but has been contributing to community endeavors such as the Phoenix Beautification Project (http://www.keepphxbeautiful.org/aboutus/) and the Phoenix Film Festival (http://www.phoenixfilmfestival.com/).  

    When I decided to profile a local artist for this latest blog, my borderline obsession with his work made him my obvious first choice. Luckily he was awesome enough to answer some questions about his own art and also share his thoughts on the downtown art scene. You can check him out at http://www.hellomikey.net/.   

    Viva Phoenix!

    Guest Blog: The Phoenix Art Museum

    Posted on 5 comments

     Hey, this is Jenni. For the last few months I have spent my Wednesday nights attending Free Admission night at the Phoenix Art Museum (http://www.phxart.org/.) Every exhibit I have seen there has been impressive, but one in particular keeps me going back for more. The "Paper!" Exhibit (http://www.phxart.org/exhibition/paper.php) aims to explore all the many artistic usages of paper over time, and it's role in both single and three dimensional artistic works. The exhibit has some interactive elements to it as well, inviting people to use sticky notes to express their favorite usage of paper, suggestions on other mediums to include, and what the exhibit meant to them. Reading these sticky notes is always my favorite part of the trip. Sadly the exhibit will be gone by next Wednesday, but I do have the upcoming "Modern Spirit: Fashion of the 1920's" exhibit (http://www.phxart.org/exhibition/modernspirit.php) to look forward to!
