Alfonso Huerta

Art Appreciation

I came across Alfonso Huerta during the recent Big Medium East event in Austin. He provided a group of art lovers a demonstration on his etching and press.

Originally from Mazatlan, Mexico, his work is surreal with lots of colors.

You can check out his work HERE.

Bernard Dunstan

Art Appreciation

Born on January 19, 1920, British artist Bernard Dunstan was known for his figures in intimate settings.

Perhaps my favorite of his paintings is Summer Morning. It features a nude woman waking up and looking at herself in the mirror. His painting is sensual and romantic.

He has an amazing history of contributions and recognition. You can read more about his amazing work HERE.

John Lennon - Nobody Told Me

Music Appreciation

"Nobody Told Me" was released on January 6, 1984, almost four years after John Lennon's death. It was included in the posthumous released Milk and Honey album--assembled by Yoko Ono.

The music video is a compilation of random footage of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and many celebrities such as artist Andy Warhol.
