My favorite submission to the "Face The Emotions" Series.

Devious Journal Entry

Sat Dec 12, 2009, 12:28 AM
Well, as anything that goes on my life since the last journal entry, nothing as planned did not happen as planned. That's how my life goes. The mural job went to shit as we had a brilliant idea to take a drink or two to the Mexican Restaurant where they wanted the mural. My friend and photographer made a spectacle of himself and projectile vomited all over the place after having two fish bowl sized margaritas. Good times, good times. We were embarrassed that we made haste for the door after cleaning the vomit out. Needless to say we never went back to show our lovely faces.

As far as the photo shoot the majority of models was a noshow and made due with the familiar friends that were there for the booze and food. I had to force some people to come, but I guess it wasn't a total waste.

The two shows didn't go as planned. One of the locations closed down due to the lack of rent and one is still in the works.

Please excuse for the hiatus in submission entries, been busy with life and the fact that the studio space is unbearably cold. As soon as I can purchase some space heaters for the studio, I'll be back in action. I find I am more active when the temperature outside is warmer.

I'll be spending this Christmas with my musician friend down in Florida. He purchased a lot of tattoo supplies for me to do some tattooing on him. It's been a minute since I've last done a tattoo on anyone. I hope I'm not too rusty to actually finish one.

My website will be done in the coming New Year and will be launched in Jan. 1st. Which will be perfect because everyone will be home recovering from New Year night to be able to check it out. My web designer and I are working round the clock to bring you www. airbrushfoo .com.

See you next year kids! As always, stay tuned.

Glen "Foo" Brown was born in San Pablo, Philippines in August 20th, 1981. Grew up in the streets of Alexandria, VA. He attended John Adams Elementary, Francis C. Hammond Middle School, and graduated T.C. Williams High School in 2000. He attended Art Institute of Washington in Summer of 2000, but dropped out within 2 years of his college career due to the lack of tuition funds.

Art was a daily occurrence in Glen's early life. As a child, he would draw with anything he could he his hands on and on anything he could see. Often, he would get into trouble with his Mother for drawing on walls. This state of mind carried on until his early teen and adulthood, this time using spray cans as a medium, and street walls as his surface. Virtually unknown as a street artist, he became accustomed to keep it a secret. He would finally emerge as an airbrush artist in Spring of 2007. It was not until a friend brought it to his attention that he should be spraying with an airbrush. "It's much more sophisticated than a spray can!", said his fellow artist friend. Since then, Glen has fallen in love with the medium, and continues to explore new techniques and harness his skills as an airbrush artist.

Influences

Glen owes his influences to his public school teachers of every year of his education. It was those whom he owes his gratitude and respect for teaching him the ways of an artist. His other influences are from the works of Chuck Close (for his portraits), H.R. Giger (for his airbrush work), Olivia (for capturing the beauty of women), among a plethora of other artists.

Face the Emotions 2007-beyond

Face the Emotions is his first series of artwork with a theme. The subjects are mainly people that around him in his daily life. The portraits of faces he renders are of close friends, people he finds interesting, or anyone that has a personality he finds endearing and/or inspirational. Most of his subjects are people he met through the internet, bars, and parties. Glen seeks the essence of that person in his renderings to capture it in a way that is entertaining, thought provoking, and emotional.

Current

Glen spends most of his time drinking coffee as a freelance graphic designer and spends time countless hours in his studio working on Face The Emotions Series. As an unknown artist, he hopes he can find the right gallery for his artwork.
