Art Explorers and Gnomon Team Up

Gnomon School of Visual Effects and Art Explorers have teamed up for a great cause! With both of us having like minds and passions that strive in the same direction, it was inevitable.

Both art and the environment are two things that we are very passionate about. Combining both education and art, we can make a huge difference. Not just to an individual but on a global scale. Our natural surrounding and wildlife inspire our artwork and the way we see things. Places like Machu Picchu, the Great Barrier Reef, the Grand Canyon all filled with natural beauty and inspiration. Places where unique wildlife and habitat are key. We are super excited about bringing you events that will not only be a wonderful place to learn art and make new friends. But an event that will help and benefit the wild kingdom and our environment. We would like to welcome Travis Bourbeau to the team. Travis and the AE team have been busy planning a way to make events make a difference together, so instead of just working together. We have brought him on board as our newest member. We want to make Art Explorers a community where we can share knowledge about art, passions and the OUTDOORS! We have some super exciting things in the works. Fun things, wild things!

More Plug news and thank yous

Hi everyone, its been about two weeks since we screened Plug at the Gnomon School of Visual Arts. The response has been fantastic and I am thrilled and honored that you all have enjoyed our hard work. Plug was definitely a great experience and a journey I am happy I was on. Thank you all very much. io9.com we are honored and ecstatic to have been featured and liked on your site.

PLUG is now a VIMEO staff pick. Ever since I watched and followed religiously all Philip Bloom's videos the day I subscribed to VIMEO many years ago, it was a dream of mine to be there. Done! Vimeo I love you.  LINK to i09.com and VIMEO

Exploring PLUG

Exploring PLUG

Years ago I went on a long road of working on a project that would be created from scratch. All of the things I love. Science fiction, vehicles, robots, industrial design, film and exploring art. I have worked on many projects, all of them teaching me something different. This project would be fun,  creative and more importantly challenging. That doesn't mean it would not take endless hours and hard work, but it would be something I would be personally passionate about. A journey for myself. Along that journey friends and people would help me bring this project into fruition, as I also learned how to surround myself with the right people. Building props, creating designs and filming actions scenes in the salt flats would all be worth the effort. It was a hard journey, but nothing is ever simple when passion and care drives you. We are never satisfied as artists or artisans. Striving is part of the journey we face, the struggles build character and make us better sculptors, better carpenters...etc.

Saturday October 25 at the Gnomon School of Visual Arts we will present PLUG. If you're in the area please come by, see the screening  and say hi. We will have several talks about making the short film and a gallery showing of art and props that were made.

In the meantime enjoy some pics and the plug trailers.  And stay tuned for the short film coming online in few days! See you soon, on the next Art Explorer's adventure...
