Hello from Southern California

[Heidi Maiers]

Hi Justin,
Interesting portfolio - and you are so very versitile! I like seeing artist's work who do both 2D and 3D. Unfortunately, I can't say I'm one of them.

[Justin Snodgrass]

Thank you for the great comments everyone. I have floated around a bit within art; trying to find my place. It has been good to experience different mediums and such, but it has also made it difficult to retain my focus at times. I think that I have gravitated toward portraits and film because they both most often involve people as the subject.


Joy, I will heed your advice. My children are 2 and 5.


Garth, most all of my Snodgrass relatives are farmers and ranchers in Oklahoma. They have been there over 100 years, maybe more.


Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Justin

Well I believe I'm talking about the 1820's in early western PA . There were some Snodgrass' who settled near the time the Herrick's arrived in the same frontier community in 1816. This is at least a couple of generations before Oklahoma got underway; so there is still room for a distant possible connection...... I'm no expert in these things, but I do still have some alleged Snodgrass relatives living just up the road.

Hi Justin,

I missed seeing your intro until this morning. Your website is a lot of fun to look at, I think because it seems as though you have had fun trying different kinds of art. Some people express themselves better this way, and it's a pity that there is so much outside pressure and expectation placed on artists (or anyone) to narrow down their focus.

That said, filmmaking interests me a lot because my brother is a filmmaker. I think he likes it because it combines his artistic (visual) bent with a writer's desire to show a story in scenes. Through him, I got to enter the filmmaker's world a little by creating a portrait of an imaginary character in a film. That was probably my most unusual commission. You never know what's going to happen when you work with different media (or work with someone in a related medium).

Alex,

Thank you for your reply. I spent some time at your website and love your work. You obviously have a keen eye for light. Very Inspiring.

I think that part of my pull toward film is the way in which it seems to incorporate so many of the art forms. This is at least the case with my interpretation of film and my aim with film.

Thanks Again,

Justin
