Drawings by Celia Calle, distorted art by jdyf333 and landscape paintings by Rob Ijbema.
Celia Calle’s drawings
I’m somewhat at a loss how to describe this next site. Here is what Celia says about it:
Dismiss any preconceived ideas of fine art as you step into the mindset of Celia Calle. Calle’s art aesthetic is strangely alluring and undeniably powerful. Her awesome images are ominous, commanding, sometimes warped, but always spiced with a generous injection of humor, in keeping with the artist’s effervescent personality.

Does a homeless person with a digital camera strike you as a bit contradictory?
While searching for interesting art sets on Flickr I came across this picture.

Whether I go and look at the rest of the set isn’t determent by my liking of a picture but by my feeling that the set could be interesting. If this picture is the best of the set I’m probably not interested. But if it’s the worst it’s quite possible I’ll publish the set.
In this case I didn’t like the set at all and that would have been the end of it if it wasn’t for the fact that this artist publish 16,648 photos. That peaked my interest enough to have a look at his profile.
Apparently this woman(?) lived a large part of her life on the street. Always drawing and painting. It’s not clear to me how she saved all her work and if she still homeless. But she has published a large part of her work on Flickr.
I’ve looked at a portion and to be honest I must say that I actually don’t like it. Although she has some original work it’s most repetitive. Repeating drawing or pictures with slight variances.
But for anyone (never mind a homeless person) to upload 16,000 picture in the four years of Flickrs existence she really must love what she is doing.
So here’s to passion.
