About Me

I love people. Wait...I love nice people or interesting/funny looking people that will let me draw them. I love painting. I rejoice when I make progress in life. I like to make my self and other people happy, in that order. I like to see as much local music as I can.I love art, but not all art. I have a personal opinion and I'm not afraid to let you know. I welcome all views and opinions though. I like talking...sometimes. Have a look around, tell me what you think! Oh yeah I'm a video game artist and filmmaker too. This is my film. New Brow: The Birth of Pop Surrealism. It is a documentry of the the artists involved with and who created Pop Surrealism including Low Brow, Graphitti and Underground Art. This trailer is a work in progress and is not for sale in it's current state as it does contain music and images used with out permission. The final release version will not contain any unauthorized material. I plan to do the whole film festival circuit in 2008. Please leave me comments or private emails with any questions or info you would like. I feel this film is very important to this generation of artists, galleries, collectors and people who want to know more as well as future generations. -Tanem www.newbrowfilm.com www.myspace.com/newbrow
