West Gilgo Beach Mural Documentary

Bragino — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 16:05:33 +0000

This is a 12 foot tall by 240 foot wide collaborative mural accomplished in the summer of 2010 by the following artists:

I designed this mural as a 4 seasons cyclical theme starting in winter on the South wall and ending again in winter on the North wall. It's painted inside a 120' tunnel and both walls were painted to complete the cycle of the seasons. I gathered some of the best artists I knew to come down and join me in the creation of this mural. My brother John shot a documentary while we painted this.

Here are two versions to view. The top one is a wider format so you can see more of the mural at one time. The bottom is for checking out details. Enjoy!!

Cows in Scotland are friendly

Bragino — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 00:59:11 +0000

I know it sounds corny saying that cows are friendly but that's what I experienced in Scotland when I met some cows grazing in a pasture along the road. They are such beautiful and gentle creatures that are very aware of the things around them especially humans. They remind me a lot of dogs. I was shocked at how moved I was by these wonderful animals. i wanted to visit them everyday I was there in Scotland and was happy when I finally got a good 2 hours to go out and draw them. Here's the results along with some pics and a video of these amazing animals.

The image below was a fun one for me to do. This image was done imporvisationally, meaning that it starts and ends without a plan. As I often do I am letting the music and what I see in the image dictate what I do next. It kind of feels as if I were composing a piece of music conducting an orchestra and performing at the same time. In order to illustrate what generally happens when I draw on the Sketchpad located here on this site I have recorded this drawing as a quicktime movie which you can watch below. The movie runtime is 9:39 and brings me to about 98% completion of the image. As you'll see in the finished image there are some adjustments made. Very slight but worth the change. Can you see what I changed? I hope you enjoy this inside look into my creative process. This video has sound which is important to the process. Please turn the sound off above in the top section of this site prior to watching the video.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Watch this quicktime video of me creating the image above .
