Ok, Mouneer al-Shaarani:

The theme seems to have become graphic art from type...

Hello!

I really like this artist's silkscreening--while it can get a bit busy and muddy, I like the bold colors and shapes mixed with (and interacting with!) the literal black-and-white photos.

And to include big names, I like Calder's 3D work--but the same styles can go for 2D as well.

Yet more art--I really like Mouneer Al-Sharaani's work (unfortunately, there is no good site to view his work--I will upload a couple photos as well--I have a magazine with more info on him, but could not find the photos online)--using typography very graphically to create art--using varied takes on fonts and arrangements, and basic colors. Of course, I am drawn to the minimalist ones. Arabic, apparently, is quite a bit different than English in its typographical flexibility, and so this would not be as easy to replicate in English...but it would be fun to try :
Here is a take on an English version of art with type. Some of his work, I love--again, the more basic stuff. Some of it gets too busy, commercial (losing the rawness) or grafitti-esque (in a bad way) to me.

Finally, while it is not exactly a style, this is very cool. So fun! I don't even know where to begin!

(not sure about that big space in the middle of the post. It won't go away. Sorry.)

car!

Well, I don't have a picture of my still life piece... so here is something I am going to silkscreen--t-shirts, etc--and maybe a few prints. I dunno why the red looks so odd and grainy...at least to me. Anyway, in real life the red would be a better color and not odd and grainy.
