About John

 

Welcome

I live in Payne City, GA and enjoy painting and drawing.

These are some of my paintings and drawings. They are here so my friends can see them.

I am not a "trained" artist. This is a hobby for me and I enjoy it. If you think my work stinks then that's your opinion and I think that's just fine.

These images were taken with a digital camera in a variety of light conditions.
If you see something you like and would like to use it in some public display please contact me first. I am the owner of my work.

As I get my other work together for the web I'll have some more to show. (everything won't be here on the web. I need to hold something back for the "live" audience...)

The end of autumn is near
shortest days of the year
It's not the dark that I fear
It's the bill for the heat my dear!

 


 


Some of my work on display at the Blue Tower Gallery during the Alchemy Festival Artist FUNdraiser fall 2008.


I had a few pieces in a show with Keith Prossick at the Blue Tower on April 25 2009..

Left to Right: They didn't tell you (4ft X 4 ft acrylic),  My Last Supper (6ft X 8ft acrylic and spray paint), In America (4ft X 4ft acrylic). Getting them from Macon to Atlanta on a home made trailer that was a half foot too short was an adventure.

There is something about "FIRE".
 
I now have a fire hoop (hula hoop) and enjoy the whole new world that fire affords me.

Web Update

06/29/2009
Update:

I've added a writings/poetry section incase anyone is so bored they can't help but read some of my musings.

I am working on some stuff but life is twisting about me faster than an over wound Timex on a cartoon character in a tornado. It will take some time before I can finish and post it up.

PartyTats, Temporary Airbrush Tattoo and Body Painting is up and running. We've done some private events and 40000 attendee public events. This year looks to be great. I'll be attending the Face and Body Art International Convention this year to kick my new business up a few notches. There will be some awesome things happening this year with my art and I'm excited.

Bohemian Art Supply is getting a make over and along with Bohemian Hoops (BOHO), will be folded into my soon to be up Commercial site 'Bohemian Outpost', a general bohemian merchandise site.


 

 

 

The holiday season is here. Here's to you and yours. Happy times and joy to all.

 


 

About the Artist:

 

John Faherty

Artist, Philosopher, Weirdo

“I love to paint, dabble and push pigment around until some image in my head becomes recognizable (maybe).  Pushing pigment is a better description for what I do with colors than painting. It seems the image is already there. I'm just pushing around bits of color until it is easier to see.


My medium varies greatly from acrylic paint, to spray paint and even plastic resin and natural plant and animal materials. Art has a beat, tempo or rhythm and the movement of brush or fingers against the canvas with the textures of materials beneath and between lets me feel the process of creation in a way similar to the way a guitarist feels the pluck and vibration of the strings beneath the skin and instrument.

I have a passion for expressing what I feel an event or the memory of a place looks like without the fear of them not matching some photograph. Discovering new ways to express my thinking and sharing the results with the world in a creative way inspires me to continue to explore who I am and what life is all about through the visual and tactile tools that birth has given me.”

—John Faherty
