| I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
POOR AL ON THE ART OF JOHN MICHAEL GILL John Michael Gill's work is the epitome of urban folk art. In a Southern California art scene so driven by technique, John's work has 'raw guts'. He's not afraid to have an individual style while always playing with concepts and ideas. Many artists hide their lack of concepts behind pop representations of other people's creativity, while John just puts his ideas out there and allows thoughtfulness to be an intregal part of the artwork. In a world where copying a style of art or music is the modus operandi, it's obvious that John isn't trying to be anyone other than himself. John's work is timeless because it represents snapshots of human thought in the urban experience and the things we think but didn't know how to express. You get a feeling that he actually is absorbing his surroundings and experiences and feeding them back to the viewer through the 'Gill filter'. John's art work is the opposite of a computer Blog. The ideas are short-winded and unmechanical, and naturally powerful like seeing a huge tree growing in the middle of a city providing fresh air in a desperately confined space. Poor Al. |

My Interests |
|
| Art in most forms. | |
I'd like to meet:MY MAKER |
|
Music:Here are a few that i find inspiring: John Lennon, Pete Doherty/Libertines/BabyShambles, The pixies, John Frusciante, The Shapeshifters, Radiohead, Transducer, David Bowie, Talking Heads, Beck, Mike Patton, Janes Addiction, Buck 65, Anticon, Busdriver, Danny Elfman, De La Soul, Prince Paul, Mr. Bungle, And most importantly the bands my Dad played for me as a kid while showing me the beauty of music. This planted the seed of music appreciation which is why music is fundamental in my life and without it i would literally go insane. |
|
Movies:About 4 percent of movies overall. This is a completely abused and misused artform which is occasionally done perfectly. |
|
Television:Saturday Night Live when all the elements are in place. I like buying DVDs of shows and hanging out with my girlfriend on lazy days and watching the whole season. I know everyone says to avoid television, but some of these same writers are just as prolific as writers of good books. Plus sometimes its nice to be mindless. |
|
Books:BUKOWSKI |
|
Heroes:The one that founded this whole energy thing and My Dad. |
