The Art of Jeremy Lipking

After watching the movie, “The Lonely Maiden” I was captivated by a piece of art that was the main feature. It didn’t take long for me to find the artist who created the piece and was absolutely stunned to find out that the painting had been done in the past year by a very talented artist, Jeremy Lipking.

Browsing through his site was an absolute joy as I discovered more great works by him such as “Porcelain”, “Reclining Nude Figure”, and “Danielle”.

I only wish they the prints came in posters as I think I would have to paint the whole house in them.

Faubourg Tremé Documentary: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans

Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans is riveting tale of hope, heartbreak and resiliency set in New Orleans’ most fascinating neighborhood. Shot largely before Hurricane Katrina and edited afterwards, the film is both celebratory and elegiac in tone. Faubourg Tremé is arguably the oldest black neighborhood in America, the birthplace of the Civil Rights movement in the South and the home of jazz. While the Tremé district was damaged when the levees broke, this is not another Katrina documentary. Every frame is a tribute to what African American communities have contributed even under the most hostile of conditions.. It is a film of such effortless intimacy, subtle glances and authentic details that only two native New Orleanians could have made it. Link
