This Mural Pale Fire - Holy Mountain was recently done in a private residence in the Silverlake are of Los Angeles, in a home office.  The wall was 22 feet high, 20 feet wide.  Here is an angled photo of me in front of the mural. It was very exciting to do! Love these types of projects.  

Joe Mansfield at Engrave your Tech is just about to launch a new leather Moleskine cover color - BLACK !! It's a vegetable tanned leather like the original, and it engraves incredibly well - to get more news and your moleskins, check out their website!

'The appreciation of art is a unique characteristic of the human mind. Our response to the visual stimulation of a pleasing source causes reactions in our brain that allow us to feel good. Similar emotions come into play when one is moved by the beauty of nature whether it be on a microscopic, macroscopic or even a cosmic scale. Some images of the universe are intense enough to be intimidating, making the viewer feel dwarfed, insignificant or perhaps even afraid. More times than not though, astronomical images give us a glimpse of something abstract that fulls our senses with wonder, curiosity, intrigue.'

 

 

I have the honor of being contacted by the Hubble Heritage, as they have found a visual match between one of my drawings and the new Hubble satellite image of Galaxies Arp 194 !!

HEAVY METAL WAVES

Solo show of Seattle-Based Artist Justine Ashbee

Opening Reception Friday, December 12th, 7-10pm
Show runs to January 25th, 2009


NoSpace Gallery is proud to present HEAVY METAL WAVES, new work by Seattle artist, Justine Ashbee. Please join us for the Opening Reception the evening of December 12th, 7-10pm


A collection of woven textile pieces referencing the fabric of wave space. 

Ashbee’s interest in sound waves as a natural phenomenon underlying physical reality compels her to examine the structural aspects of woven curves and their imminent dissolution.  Using metal, wire, monofilaments, and reflective materials she weaves forms referencing a trace of the invisible, things we feel and know, and yet cannot see. 

The conceptual aspects of Ashbee’s work are invested deeply in ideas of consciousness and new theories in physics. Each investigation serves as a conjecture in need of a penetrating and curious examination.

Thank you everyone for coming out and participating in Bumbershoot! ! ! It is great meeting all of you beauties, and I am trying to make it easier for some of you who would like to be able to buy prints and shirts on line through my web-store.  Please click on this link: JUSTINE'S WEB SHOP  in order to get the products and deals you saw when we met there!  I am selling those products and at those prices while supplies last, so please specify what you are interested in, and I will hopefully be able to deliver what everyone wants!  Thank you !!!!!
