the pictures are in!

Thanks to the help of some friends of mine, I recently was introduced to a young photographer willing to help me get some quality photos of my work ready for the new site! :) It has been a blast putting the work together for this collection and I can't wait to share it with everyone!

a very awesome detail shot from the photo shoot 
last night of one of the new pieces

Info on the new site & body of work will be coming soon. Pooling the materials together now, including photos, website, and business cards (if you'd like one of my snazzy cards let me know), so I can present this new material properly. Looking forward to what the universe will send for me ('universe' can also be read 'often-times-harsh-and-cold-world').

Live life passionately, create your path.

.com is a reality

Today I officially registered the domain for my site which will launch featuring my newest series of paintings sometime in the very near future. For the time being the domain forwards visitors back to my blog (maybe you know this by now from being redirected here already). Looking forward to stretching my HTML building skills and seeing what I can come up with.

Site address to bookmark:

joshuagrabowski.com

Thanks for all the support it has taken for me to get here. Much more to come.

working!

after all the preparation and planning, my current work is coming to fruition what seems to be effortlessly. stay tuned for the "unveiling" of my newest series and (hopefully) a link to my new art site. :)


creativity is inevitable, being able to actually create it is a blessing.

Special Thank You

I would first like to start this post out by thanking anyone that has made it to my blog to check out my work. With encouragement and feedback from family, friends, and the many people who appreciate artwork, I continue to post my progress and further myself in my work.

            "All art requires courage."
                        -Anne Tucker


"Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness.  The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is."
                -Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark, 1915


There is so much going on with my work right now and it is all very exciting. I look at it all with extreme optimism and hope, but also understanding what-it-will-take-to-get-there and desire for greatness. Again, Thank You to all the people who matter most, you know who you are!

You can expect some pictures of more recent work coming soon.

sketch i did quite some time ago, i still really enjoy it and thought i'd share it.
