2010 AP Art Class

Mike "Dangerbox" Spence needs votes

Danger Box (New York University) from CIF Productions on Vimeo.

Former student Mike Spence is currently part of the New York University improv troupe Dangerbox. He showed off his comedic talents back in the day in our now defunct film production class and now has made the medium time (soon for the big time). His troupe is competing for a spot to compete in Chicago, the city where the modern form of the craft began.

First Semester & 2009 Alumni Show

Hey artlumni! I hope everyone is doing well in college. I'd love to see what you are working on. This year we are going to have our alumni show during your winter break so I'd like to invite you all to come back to the school for the event in January to show some work and speak to our current students about your college experience thus far.

The illustration above is a recent piece I did for the latest issue of LI Pulse magazine if you want to check it out they are now free in the Smith Haven Mall. You can check the link for more images from the very strange political satire piece.

SVA =D

Ok so I moved to SVA's new res on Saturday. That's my room and the view from it. 

I don't start classes til like Tuesday so I've been spending time in SoHo, went to kidrobot and stuff and also spending time in Brooklyn cause my friend lives there. I'm looking forward to classes starting though...I guess.

Gallery hopping in NYC

Hey alumni, I wanted to invite you all to an upcoming show I have at SVA's gallery in Manhattan next week. I'll post up an invite soon but the show will be up from July 8-28. I'm showing my ongoing daily photography project along with some other stuff as part of a group exhibition.

Also there is a great new photography magazine you should know about- JPG magazine- all you photographers should join!

Once again the year has come to a close- Congratulations to all the graduating seniors! Please come back when you are all world-famous, artist-jet setters. Hopefully everyone will continue to communicate via this blog and post their work. I plan to have a yearly alumni art show that everyone will be invited to participate in. Once again- congrats!

Alumni art shows

Hey,

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm all set to start another new program here at SHSE- alumni art shows. I'll be inviting you all to submit 1-2 pieces in April for a show in May or June and to come back and speak to the current students about life in the real world.

We will also be having a show with alumni from way back when I started who are now out of college and in art careers and they will be doing the same. We'll have an "alumni art day" here so you can all meet and learn from each other and catch-up.

I will also be opening the alumni blog to a few older alumni that I keep in touch with so feel free to welcome them when (and if) they post.

I hope everything's going well!

Art school philosophy

Hey Alumni, Don't forget to make some art while you are on break, (it's often the only time you have free tim during the school year). Remember to make art fun and don't get to wrapped up in the art school philosophy.

Happy Holidays!

Hey guys!

Ahh I can't wait till break! So many tests and papers and presentations but instead of doing any of them, I'm taking pictures (duh!) Here's a few I snapped today! There are more (obviously) at my blog




The first two were done with a slide over the lens (thanks a lot stupid portfolio, you were good for something) and the last was done with a thin layer of hair-goo that's sparkly.

WeST COaSt KiLLa!

How's school going?

Hey alumni- How's school going so far? I know the semester is almost over and I felt like my dunny above. Let me know how your first semester went and how you like the programs.

happy thanksgiving

enjoy the tofurkey!

Ink

Hey everyone! I hope school's treating you well. I was thinking about having a show for all of you who graduated last year in May so you can share show off some of your college portfolio. I also wanted you to come in for one day during that week and talk to the current students about helpful (real-life) hints for their upcoming college adventures. Let me know if you're interested- I don't want to presure you at all so don't sweat it.

Here's an illustration I just published in the Long Island Pulse. Here's a link to the article (if you want a free copy you can get one on their website too): http://www.lipulse.com/Articles.asp?id=1145&section=1. Keep in touch!

Hey you guys!

Haha, so I'm finally added onto this darn thing. How's school going for you guys? It's pretty awesome up here!
As for art... hrm. I've been doing a blog that I update with my stuff (www.dangeroushabit.com) on. I've been doing a lot of digital stuff just because... I don't know, I like it!
Err.. well I'll post something cooler like gangi later.
