Narrative Essay On Andy Golub

933 Words4 Pages

I always get a bit nervous on the drive to NYC, not only from the thought of driving in city traffic, but there’s always the small chance I’ll get arrested. New York body painter Andy Golub is a huge advocate for performance art and body acceptance, but I like body painting just for the thrill of it. It’s only legal through a tiny loophole in New York state law. There’s nothing more terrifying than stripping naked in the middle of Times Square. The empowerment of actually doing it however is absolutely intoxicating.
Andy Golub likes to push the envelope. He loves painting and has an insatiable urge to paint on everything he sees. Nothing is safe from his paintbrush, not rocks, shoes, or even cars. Then one day he decided to paint the torso of an old mannequin he discovered laying around a friend’s art studio and he was struck with an idea. What would happen if he decided to paint live people? What started out as an experiment in a studio soon went to the streets of busy Manhattan and Andy was off like a rocket. He had found his calling.
I stumbled upon Andy’s work through a mutual friend on Facebook. The minute I saw the photographs of the models I instantly …show more content…

We end our day with two slices each of hot, gooey, Brooklyn style eggplant pizza washed down with some frosty vanilla cokes. It was delicious, and it sets me up perfectly to fall asleep the instant the wheels of the car start rolling their way towards home, belly full and thoughts of names for baby girls on the brain as the rhythmic jostling of the car and the exhaustion of early pregnancy carry me off into a comfortable sleep that lasts until we make it

They met in college when they decided to collaborate in a show after knowing each other for ten years they married. Carla works with textile and fabrics and Pedro focuses more on welding, stone making or weaving. While Pedro works more with young college students, Carla finds her inspiration while working with the community.

We would hit old worn out baseballs with the leather coming off of them and run around the aged bases and sleep on the old rickety metal things they called bleachers. The school right beside it also had a playground which we may or may not have supposed to be on. Dairy Dream was just across the street with the delicious smell of hot chocolate fudge and the nose tingling scent of vanilla ice cream that filled the air.

The songs that I had practiced over from June to October were mere children’s play compared to others in the group who played pieces like Claire de Lune and the 12 Variations of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (no one in middle school with common sense would choose repertoire made for high schoolers). “Melody, make sure you go over the spots in your songs that you need to work on”, Mom said, shattering my thought process.

    Tim’s Vermeer Tim’s Vermeer is a documentary film. It is about the struggle of a man to recreate a painting of Vermeer by seeing a rebuilding of the studio of Vermeer through a mirror arrangement. Tim Jenison got the encouragement from David Hockney’s theory that painters used visual strategies to accomplish their fascinating quality and established a double-mirror version of the camera lucida. He spent approximately 130 days to create a perfect and flawless imitation of Vermeer’s music lesson. He finally reached to the conclusion that the double mirror technique is a practical clarification for the distinctively lifelike painting style of Vermeer (Howard).
