They had this thing called ‘art battles’ in the park area of my apartment complex. These four guys had two hours to make a painting in front of everyone and the crowd voted for their favorite. The winner gets a thousand bucks. There was one guy doing a pop-art kind of Statue of Liberty thing, I mean, it’s been done but he had a nice take on it. The other guy in this picture, I’m not sure what he was doing but he was trying something somewhat cubistic in nature and I liked him for giving it a shot! Then there was a graffiti type artist, mixed with a bit of manga, and the last guy was somewhat of a realist, copying a photo for his painting. He got the 1,000 dollars. I didn’t vote for the realist, I don’t know, the other three were more adventurous. It was fun to draw the crowd though, and the DJ was playing a lot of 80’s dance music, so I had a blast! I’d love to create the Studio 1482 art battles event! That would be terrific fun. – Veronica
