Jay Myer’s Art Journal 2008

Artwork by Jay Myers

I usually get inspired by things that are in the news, or things I see around me happening. or things I see that need to be dealt with. Many of my pieces have jabs at politics or issues that don’t agree with myself. I hope to be a part of positive world consciousness. I hope to see more people awaken and realize that they have to make some changes in their lives or changes in what they believe in and ask serious questions about the world we live in today. Not only to make changes in their own lives but to take action in making the world a better place. You can’t get there by just complaining.

This piece is what I see happening in the 9/11 event that killed many and it’s drawing a parallel to a popular movie that seems to just show it all.

This page was finished a few of months ago. These original little art pieces still say a lot. They tell about how I’m feeling that day. What my influences are that day and what I’ve come across maybe in my travels and search for materials and subjects. Sometimes they have a politcal edge. This book will be filled with original art pieces. Page 2 is coming soon. Already finished. Come back in a couple of days if page 2 isn’t up already.

I always have so many ideas and things that float through my head that I decided to do a journal dedicated to smaller versions of my ideas. I’m determined to fill this journal with original special mini pieces.

I’m going to post each page as they are finished. So check back once in a while.
