Today I had the fortunate opportunity to go on a gallery visiting field trip with my painting class today.  We all met in Williamsburg to visit my professor's art studio first.  I am just beginning to explore the wide variety of sectors in the city and Williamsburg seemed very much like a hipster neighborhood with plenty of vintage clothing stores, tiny cafés, and used book venders for everyone.  I do want to go back and walk around it some more.

Anyway, we visited quite a few galleries, both in Williamsburg, around NYU, and in Chealsea and saw a large body of work.  I really enjoy going to galleries because they inspire me to do more art and give my eyes visual experience.  The artists below were my favorites of what I saw today:

From Left to Right: Michael Schall, Elizabeth Huey, and Raoul De Keyser

I want to create and art like moki

Here is the Drawn! description:

Moki is an artist from Hamburg, Germany, and although her site is somewhat unintuitive to navigate, once you find the artwork you’ll be treated to a series of wonderfully dark and surreal images. There’s an interview with her here (where you can also see more of her work) in which she mentions that her main inspiration is Hayo Miyazaki.

I'm going to go draw some more now.
