Joan Fabian in Austin for the West Austin Art Tour

It was an interesting weekend last week during the exhibition of mine at Access Gallery  and West Austin Studio Tour Saturday and Sunday! I was there both days and thanks to everyone who turned up. I got to hang with many cool people like April Sullivan and her hubbie Milton who played his guitar with Mike Warpenburg! Micro-Phobic got to jam with them in the gallery on Sunday! Carol Stenuard had us over for a cool party and Celia Hughes the director of VSA Texas brought all kinds of goodies and wine over to go with the yummy pizza Carol made.
Milton wants a Fabian micro-chip where one can become a clone of me and whip out cool paintings just like me!!! Leave it to him to come up with such cutting edge technology!
Here are some pics of my exhibition. April did a great job hanging it as always!

Love you guys!

RGV+Beyond: Joan Fabian: Physical meets Digital

Animation Video of the Paintings in Culture by Color

Here is a combo of the eight paintings I have done digitally so far.
Here you can see the process and how they came about.
Some are faster in the making than others.
Thanks for viewing!

Dutch Humor and that blue and white obsession. Painting number 8.

In this painting I wanted to capture the Dutch love of humor and cartoons. There are so many different comic books and animations that are abundant in the Netherlands. I also kept at the Dutch obsession with that traditional blue and white scheme taken from another three photographs while in Delft.
I enjoy the energy and wild painterly qualities along with the graffiti-like presence.

Old and the New in Delft: The Color Experience Continues

Here is the animation of the painting process for Digital Painting #7 and the source photographs for it.
The top photo is of a Gypsy couple playing music in the quaint old city of Delft while a police woman approaches them to tell get them to move along.
In the middle photo there is a couple outside the Poptahof building I worked in. They were in the process of throwing possessions out while they moved a little at a time by using their small car.
The bottom photo is of viewers taking in the Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian in The Hague.
