LA based artist Zeal Harris has some very interesting series in the works, the most exciting of all is a graphic novel she recently started!
Zeal's artist statement:
When we humans experience aesthetic pleasure, we experience joy, and joy is the ecstasy of living. When humans do an activity that creates aesthetic pleasure, I understand this process and its outcomes to be art. My art is making painting, cooking, growing plants, nurturing relationships, and exchanging jokes and stories with people that I adore. This artistic statement begins in an autobiographical and self-ethnographical kind of way. I find it extremely difficult to separate my life from my art. In fact, as evidenced by my paintings, my life is my art.

Below is an excerpt from the artists website about this video and project.
Narwhal Art Projects presents IN-BETWEEN a solo exhibition by Alvaro Ilizarbe / Freegums. For this show Alvaro is exploring space, patterns, and the energy that lies in-between. He has painted black and white patterns on amorphous wooden pieces which hang on an identically patterned wallpaper. The wood paintings’ swirling lines blend seamlessly into the background, becoming one. Contrasting line work creates a visual vibration and a tension within the space. Through this, Alvaro is revealing the awareness of spatial energy that lies between oneself and the object.
Discovered this site and this artist by mere luck! The Art of Doing Something is the brainchild of multitalent Brian Michael Gossett. We were gonna write about the awesomeness of his creation but he describes it best!
"The Art of Doing Something is a philosophy I have embraced to create art that I feel good about. I hope it inspires people to get a little more involved in making the world a better place to live in."
PS he has a wonderful giftshop we'd advise stopping by there when you visit.
