About me: I am Brian J. Almaraz, I am an aspiring artist. AlmarazArtCo is a company started by myself and business partner Amanda N. Walker. These are some of the things we believe.
MANIFESTO:
Almaraz Art Co. is a collaboration of ideas, art and people who share a widespread ambition of communicating reflection and beauty of life through self expression. As an open range, Almaraz Art Co. aims at promoting the search, discovery and appreciation of beauty and happiness. Positively there is something to be gained in self actualization in embracing emotion, but our convictions lye in appreciating the importance of value. In a desensitized society lacking individual expression, simply living as an individual through honest expression to the world, whether through art, music or thought can be revolutionary. Individually we maintain our own songs, but allow our uniqueness to inspire and mold one another. In this way we will forever remain in cinch; for as theories change, our cognitive roots remain the same, we aspire to enjoy life and aim at making life more enjoyable for others.
Who I'd like to meet: Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, Pablo Picasso, Rasputin, Francisco Goya, Yves Klein, Willem De Kooning, Jeff Tweedy, Elliott Smith, Jackson Pollack, Jackson Browne, Jackson Five, Etc.
I don't know if you knew the bus system in Corpus is called The B, but I thought you might enjoy the realization I had that I have to ride "The B" to get where I need to go in life..........Dammit
