What inspires an artist to create? SPIRAT...

Spirat takes its letters from the word INSPIRATION, suggesting the “spirit” of a work of art. Where did a piece come from? What inspired the artist to create?

Living in a media-driven, high-speed world, we hope to share a perspective of current issues revolving around the idea of inspiration.

Some people you never forget.

This is a film made recently by a very talented, old friend of mines friend. She always had the most artistic and interesting friends. Once I went to a wedding of a friend of hers, and the groom wore a motor cycle helmut down the isle and a live band played. Their vows were things like, 'I promise to let you eat sweet sweet yummies late at night in bed'.

This is her friends film, Putty Hill.

A thousand Blooms, True Beauty.

My friend Richard Chu has been working on this book, True Beauty for some time now. It's a photo and essay book about various women in DC. The book is dedicated to and created for his mother and sister who both passed due to cancer. This Sunday Richard threw another fundraiser for the printing of the book. Amazing people, photos and art.
