About Me

I made this blog to keep track of my work or things related to my work at VFS. I might also post things that aren't related to film school. Deal with it.

FecalFace.com

When I was in Europe I started appreciating art a bit more as I went to hundreds of art mueseums but after moving to Vancouver my interest in contemporary art has spiked.

I stumbled across fecalface.com and being a fan of street art it went straight into my bookmarks.

I'm not really a big painter but I think if I hadn't chosen film school I would be creating contemporary art. At some point I wouldn't mind stepping into the contemporary art side of things, be it collaborations or creating my own pieces. Never know, could happen. I'm still young.








"We don't normally work with any specific artists really. I'd say we work within a like minded sensibility. A bit hard to describe, but it probably has a lot to do with growing up surrounded by punk rock and skateboarding culture. The artists that gravitate towards us are also the same artists that we lean towards. Artists who might not have consciously decided to become artists... maybe the same way Fecal Face was never a conscious art website with specific defined goals. Some things just happen." -Trippe

Nate Frizzell



I came across a video on an artist by Nate Frizzell, I'm really digging his stuff right now. He deals with a lot of masks in his paintings and ever since reading Macbeth in highschool I've always liked the idea of the mask motif. So yeah, check him out.
