modernarts

The state of modern art

it does not lay in the halls of well paid school but the gutters that line the streets outside of these institutions…the reject the rejected art ..the deprived and the maimed …these cold hearts and bleeding wounds are where are stirs …these raw unseen realities will breed the new artist …the crack babies have grown up and they have not a way to express themselves …so where do they say what needs to be hurd…on a soap box in the gutter …they will be the new disgusting and unconquered face of art …»>!

just breath

it spins its blades to gain ....

a helicopter we all know that it spins its blades to gain altitude ....but its the pilot whom has to control the amount of lift and the direction ... so like this helicopter we must try and focus our will make us lift...too much will and we could fly uncontrolled thru the sky not enuff and youll be sitting at that helipad for a while...the people that can balance these two ...basically the person whom can will his ambitions .... will fly ..thos whom cant ....must keep trying ..because a helicopters blades spin to make lift

show in phx

the show went well..saw alot of friends and peers ...the city is the same...hoping that the people will see that a police state is no safer than a relaxed state...its all in the mental...enshaallah ....my prayers and blessings go out to all those jailed imprisoned and held ..because we are not a commodity nor clients of the state.... keep heads up because the walls cant hold your souls ...

flea circus

my trip to phx az ever so grand loved the peoples hate the cops..well here are some photos of what i saw and what i did (dj ronnie rockwell / van fire / a knight / Jerome az / the girls at the art show )

art and graff and bad art and bad bad

well here it is ...the point where you or should i say art is good and art is bad...
bad/// revolution art //why because its not changing anything...its more making the struggle look chic ..who needs designer revolutions...not me...bad bad ..peoples or artist that copy these revolutionaries.because they hurt both the cause and our eyes...art is in a coma and the vitals are faint....someone call the doctors ...code black....and sadly graffiti is the next patient over and he aint got insurance...the way of the world ....sad but true today all we hope for in art is a ej....eye job..no trills no spills just eye lube and done....so done....god help this infested ball of mudd by killing us all...ha on a lighter side...north korea to start ww3 ....economy should pick up like f150s

jerome / rest in peace / vincent

Visiting Arizona ..i never really grasped the cleanliness and space of the west till i have the comparison of the crowded east coast...im glad and thank full for the refection and change of perspective that the show in sept is giving me and thankfull for the fortouls for helping me find myself..and clear my head...calm and quieting the monkey is the hardest thing to do....but im finding myself up for the task ...and seeing that simlpe factthat i have improvements to make and that im aware change and improvement is needed ...is priceless. went to jerome az and said good bye to a friends i never meet and a great painter that has passed...to you vincent D/E/P * R/I/P

"My ideas will kill me if i dont do them."

the progress

we measure progress by where we started and then seeing where we need to be ...this is an experiment in texture with oils figured what have i not done as of yet....this was it....a med size oil ....the painting is oil and nothing else which is a stretch for me ....but now in my progression ive pushed past this hurdle and await the the next one with eagerness..blessings

where has graff gone...?

I seen in recent years that graff artist have gone either to tatts..or the galleries/./ but dont be fooled they will always go bombing just put the can in their hand....no matter how big they are or get....i walk up with a streaker we bombing...Bangladesh to Kazakhstan....man the only thing that the authorities have done to this craft is made it smarter...silent cans...low oder cans...shit glow in the dark paint....i mean youd think it was 007 or something...well mad up to all who rock the can marker and scribes...stay up and stay down ..day one till the last...i got your back go home streets clear....yup yup bobroxemall

a little book i believed had been lost forever

if u look close you can see betty page ..these are originals and im so glad i have refound it..and wanted to share it ..

the figure in the drawing is shifty he seems to be doing and saying everything i cant or wont..kind of like living thru me ..if i want him to do he does..no questions asked...he also has deep meaning to me // his beginnings are simple i was drawing a tattoo for "home wrecker sera" it was blah a heart with wings and i was getting frustrated ..so i decided to put some music on ok now im groven the rolling tunes came on -sympathy for the devil or to the devil- i cant recall the name, but there is a line in there that says every sinner is a saint...a bell went off the calaca (skulls) in mexican culture represents the being coming back as comical character ...so shifty was born ..i removed the heart from the drawing and replaced him inside...perfect later i added the scar to the wings...making him more like me...hes symbol is the spade because i see it as a black heart flipped up side down....with a wedge driven thru it..but thats just me....so his name is shifty fidel del castaneda ...to be exact ..fidel after my grandfather not the cuban dictator..hes not always right but always granteed a laff.

a painting by Andrew Wyeth

"Over world"

sitting at the end of a road...making us fight each other..

Selling flowers oranges and Chiclets to commuters and by passers on freeways underpasses and off ramps ..to stairs glares and the eventual looks of disgust trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents like Tu Pac once discussed .the American dream we chasing and trying to collar ...but wait we are not Americans measured by the American yard stick ..because each and every day we wake to the slap in the face and the chorus of go back wetbacks while the hook ..the hook of honk honk and fumes ..sickens us further into the muck of being stuck one foot here the other there.... so we sit at the end of this road hopeful but knowing that its our children that wont have to eat fumes for breakfast lunch and dinner.


..a prayer goes out to those on them streets a prayer that you will and yous will achieve a dream but knowing it wont be the American one

apologizing has never been constructive

the reason the apologizes dont work is because we are looking backwards ...and when we do that we have failed already ..everything we've done has been done..so no use in even bringing it up in a negative light..everyday we get the opertunity to voice ourselves and make new desisons ..the key is to recall what worked and what didnt...in art and in life ...we must keep moving forward and not stall by looking in the rearview mirror...we stop looking back and all that is left is the present and the future...new renew and except that we are living and learning ...each day each desisons we make should not be to be bettrthan the next man..but to help not just you but your brothers and sister ..the fact is we are made of the same stuff..atoms ..were just arrrangened in different manners...kinda like legos..but dont hate the table cuz its solid and the wind cus you cant hold it ...just except that they help you and you and your brothers...we own nor create anything ..that the simplest thing to understand...these simple facts can help us find a better way of living ...

finding out that we dissappoint

directions we take day in day out..that is what our parents and people we support want to see..the direction in which we are headed in...when they see no direction ..like a lost puppy is when they become discouraged and somewhat..hurt..when the suitable decisions and directions are being made and followed ..a parent and fans could not be more than ecstatic for our progress through life. take a moment make the right ones and be sure and thank everyone whom is supporting what ever you do...THANK YOU

art ---what is it?

the question about what is art?...i have not the slightest clue....i just know that if im making a painting ..or expressing myself..blamo ..instant art..if a person can convey an emotion a message or just move someone to think in certain way blamo art..art is always gonna be in the eyes of the onlooker..you can say thats are because of this this and this...and someone else can come by and say i dont see it...so do what comes natural and just create and thru you creating we produce art ..in whatever form you can muster up...so you picked maccoroni art ok..let display that on the fridege or the luvee ..either way its still art... ...art is every where..as is life. ///bobroxemall // Bobby Castaned Greatest Painter Alive!

ive been looking for a direction

it came to me in a dreamlike state im usually in before i wake up for the day...im thinking of motion but with very iconic and symbolic images like transformers in motion ..no i have not been watching to much tv if so id be painting the wire...so bright lights big city motion and contrast..here i go ...wish me luck.

focus focus fucken focus

ive seem to lost my focus ...thru this and that ..im not concentrated..my art is looking more and more like someone elses ..like im forcing the issue....i have always had ups and downs ..but this is different i think that all the partying and boozing has started to catch up on me....yeaha yeaha im not a young buck any more but tht has no bearing on my focus...the fact that the art is resembling something id mock just weeks ago is well disheartening....i feel as if this bloodsucking city is getting to me...ive made total changes in my lifestyle except for the partying...but im no hermit either...so what to do where to find focus...ill have to keep on making bad paintings for a hot phoenix moment*..(very quick and hot like the asphalt)..so when i blog again..my mood will be changed and the art will be better..maybe its just me missing home ...who knows...im out "greatest painter alive"

day two

ive seen alot of art from the west coast all the way to the east ..im currently unsatisfied by what ive seen alot of copycat art ..but i was told everything in art is subjective blah....if you have not heart in this then your not an artist....your a crafty person...whos got a talent but the technique over rides any creativity...so you tell me that my art is unique even been classified as contemporary contemporay ...i just see it as a truth as a primal scream of the unwanted the mistreated and the unfortunate..so call it what you must ..i see the rest of the art being created as hollow.!

making a comittment

We step thru a looking glass...nothing is what it seems....we are an arrangement of neutrons and electrons..the difference between us all is the numbers and at the speed at which they revolve...we all of us have the same goal in this one of our thousands of lives lived to find our true purpose...i stand alone and so do you..making decisions i know as should you that everything is positive should be accentuated..my path is to enlighten you thus enlighten myself...my path is that of a creative one and creation is in each of us...peace and one
