Spiritualize(+d)

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Tom Nagy

For any of you who do not know what this is, you have your work cut out for you this evening. Spiritualized first album Lazer Guided Melodies is a highly recommended auditory experience that can be enjoyed through repeated listenings over regulated intervals.* Merry Christmas Robert Nagy. May I forever be haunted by not testing the font size properly before starting to paint on the letters.

Dead Trees

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Tom Nagy

Throughout my time at Fleming college, I have contributed several articles to an independent magazine distributed at the campus. All of the articles are written by students for students. Ontop of contributed botanically inquisitive articles and poetry, I decided to leave a lasting impression on the very last issue to be published by designing a new logo for the cover.

Below is a link to the article that I wrote in the magazine. Since this is art-time and not story-time, I will leave it at your discretion if you would enjoy reading it. It is entitled Outside the Hops and explores the hops plant and it’s relationship with people, examining it’s significance as a medicinal herb, it’s taxonomy and it’s importance within the history of brewing.

Friday, March 30th

Posted on April 15, 2012 by Tom Nagy

I haven’t written anything in a while, except this strange collection, in response to a rather unsual and remarkably significant evening.

“Excuse me, but you ruined my outfit. Please get a room, I was laughing so hard I spilled beer all over my pants.”

Disposable plastic cups

Disposable encouters

Disposeable impressions

Disposable chances

Disposable lovers

Disposable culture

Dispose of each-other?

Although the evening took me over, despite the chemistry within my blood, don’t forget what I told you. Because for a night you took me over, and I mean everything that I said.

Digitized

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Tom Nagy

Inspired by the sudden flux of posts by all the lovely members of this fun-time-collective, I decided to start posting some art-icles that I have made throughout my academic career here in Lindsay (A location, not a person, that is just rude)

Attending an educational institution results in a remarkably strong increase in creative energy, at least for me, likely because I am pretty much over stimulated all the time and am forced hitherto produce art. Good thing for this good blog. Click for Hi-Res!

Questions for the viewers (answer in comments if desired)

1. What is happening to nature on the side of the art where digital man is holding his digital phone?

2. How is nature oriented? Is it positioned correctly, turned on it’s side or upside down?

3. Those stupid scrambly blackberry squares that now thoroughly saturate magazines are amazing for art. This is not a question, just a statement.

Snowman Samuel

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Tom Nagy

That’s right, today is a double post! Unlike the main contributors of Art-Time-Collective, I live far enough north where the effects of global warming have not yet completely eliminated snow from the winter landscape. Hense, the opportunity to make snowmen in the temperate world may soon be coming to an end. In foresight of this urgency, snowmen like Samuel here might soon become an endangered species. Some may say that they already have…

Ingredients: -11 degree weather + water + various bottle caps + one burned out lightbulb + 2 unidentified sticks = Samuel.

Persea americana

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Tom Nagy

This tasty art was produced during the first Art Jam of the 2012 semester at Fleming College. I really like how the skin and the seed in the center turned out. The flesh is a little too vibrant, but I used what I had to work with. Click for hi-res!

Money

Posted on November 28, 2011 by Tom Nagy

This is actually an older piece of mine that I neglected to post for a reason that currently escapes me. Fellow fart-timer Kaleidoscopeflux brought this to my attention and I have since taken appropriate measures (as seen below) to make this piece available to the internet. I like this one too, Ionatan. Click for hi-res!

Burning Desire

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Tom Nagy

I haven’t done any magazine cut-outs fo a while, but this one turned out really nice I think. I seem to be in the mood for this sort of stuff when I am in school. I wonder why. Click for hi-res!

Of course, whenever I draw something I like, it is always on lined paper. Make sure to click for hi-res!

So?

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Tom Nagy

Unlike warmth, coldness is not a state of being or possession, but is rather a descriptive term meant to convey a general lack of warmth. Is therefore loneliness not a state of being or possession but rather a noun invented to describe a lack of love? Click for Hi-res!

Medium: Oil Pastel on Rice Paper (Dimensions: roughly 6.5” x 6.5”)

A Collection of Theoretical Botany

Posted on January 15, 2011 by Tom Nagy

I have largely neglected an area of my artistic capabilities that in the eyes of most consider my most proficient area. More will be uploaded as soon as they are mentally downloaded. These organisms do not exist but are based in their relation and systematic ordering to exant species.

Common Rock Oak.

Maple-Leaf Oak.

Scrub-Holly (Quercus)

The Results of Art Jam

Posted on December 30, 2010 by Tom Nagy

The first ever unofficial art jam took place on December 27th and produced some pretty nifty pieces of creativity. I would like to have these on a regular basis and hopefully they will increase with popularity amongst the art-time-collective community and outwards. Until this happens, here are two works that Erika Fung and myself created using paintbrushes impregnated with acrylic paint.

Untitled 1

Untitled 2

Untitled 3 (This one I made myself)

For some reason, WordPress is not permitting me to upload my artwork directly, so here is a link (WordPress won’t even let me hyperlink it, either):

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs935.snc4/74807_464065848533_519258533_5499075_5902061_n.jpg

it was so obvious as to be rendered not obvious. i could see the harm in this, yet in reality there is no harm to be told.

the key to self-discovery? get connected get connected get connected get connected get connected.

little island mysteries all over again…

Blueberry Ridge

Posted on October 15, 2010 by Tom Nagy

The Alarm clock of North America.

Sounds for the resurgence of life.

Infrared light covers our tissues.

We cannot see them covering us.

We can see the green growing and creeping.

Proof of love and strength.
