Christopher Myers was born in New York, and he is still making art until this day. He does a lot of his art based off a story line. He is also a multimedia artist and author, but he also does playwright. His work has been in exhibits throughout the U.S.. Some of his work is “Let The Mermaids Flirt With Me, New York 2018.” His art is very detailed and precise. I like his artwork. He worked really hard on them. He is inspired from Lil Wayne’s lyrics for some of his pieces. And he could use any kind of hip hop music to explain anything out of it in art form. But at the core of the hip hop music there are tensions between it all. For this piece he used fabric and thread. he made it 16in by 20in. And about this piece that drew me to it is the fact that he is drinking a bottle with flames. The next piece is also on fabric. You notice he drew part of his face with vines and leafs. That is to show that there are a lot of obstacle courses to go through in life. I love the piece itself and how he got all of the details in it. The next one is also on the fabric but he has made the person cry, bleed and puke the ocean water. I am drawn to this piece because the person caught my attention and the fact that he is crying, bleeding and puking the ocean water. This next piece is base on his books. They reviewed this in the New York Times. I love this piece showing it shouldn’t matter your size you can play a game if you are determined. For this one this is actually the one “ Let The Mermaids Flirt With Me.” He made two pieces for this one. He made the original one and then he made a second one, because he changed the way he viewed it.
And four this one he has drawn people looking up at a fish that is jumping over thiem back into the water. I like this one because he had made it on to a quilt, and I love the design he put into it. And for the last one is of a person sitting in a chair with his or hers hands crossed with a towel rapt around his or hers head. He painted this one and again he does a good job at his artwork. He does sketches too, and I thought they were amazing. I picked this artist because I was drawn to his work, and he did different styles of art. I think that is amazing, the different ways he can make artwork. He says that other people’s memories that get left behind and his own family pictures have quite an impact, as well as in a black and white photograph of his grandfather with a telling smile on his face. He tells stories that talks about his grandfather through his work. He creates his own images in collage, photos, woodcuts and other artistic media. A lot of the pitchers that i got is also pitchers he did based off the books he wrote. I think that is amazing. He takes his writing career and works it in his art career. And he takes his art career and does clothing designer. I had a good time looking at his artwork. Each piece that i looked at I felt like he was telling a different story in it. And I have enjoyed looking up Christopher Myers, and learning about all the different art he does from his book writing and his artwork from the books he writes and his regular artwork and his clothing designer.
