As both an artist and occasional buyer, I get excited at new possibilities to alternate the norms on how art is made, and especially sold. Art Barter New York, sounds like a step in the right direction where the buyer can create a unique desire in the artist in order to be chosen.

What’d you do today? Mark Gonzales We Love!!!

Any kid who grew up in and around NYC during the late 70′s and early 80′s has to remember all those eerie black images of sandblasted shadow men all around Manhattan. Long before I even knew what the hell “art” was, I remember these images leaving an indelible mark on my imagination. Back in the day when I used to ride in my Dad’s taxi, he would point them out and tell me stories that the “Shadow Men” were images of what our bodies would look like if an atomic bomb were to go off. Implying that all that’d be left of us would be these ashed out black images all over the streets of Manhattan – YIKES!
