It was tough to decide which of her pieces to feature because everything on Janelle Washington's (@washingtoncuts) wall is wonderful. I opted for "2 Cleopatras," paper cut, and a STEAL at $80. Come see her at space #9107 on the 9th floor here at @artomatic_dc. #artomatic #artomatic2017 #papercuts #papercutart #blackpride #beautifulart #patience #intricate #detailed #washingtoncuts (at ARTOMATIC)

Went from 0 to 100 putting up my #artomatic2017 show with the great help of @mrtyue 😊✨☀️ Today was the first installation day and we got 25 paintings hung up in one go! Thank you so much friend💗🙏🏻sending you all the good karma. This body of work is something I developed a lot in college but didn't get to show for my thesis so I'm super happy I get to put it together here. There are pieces from 2015-2017 and are all for sale. Artomatic is a free art festival from March 24th-May 6th 1800 South Bell Street, Arlington, VA (right outside of the metro station) I'm on the 8th floor (8211) and will be there on the 24th :) #sound #rhythm #interpretations #music #inspired #artshow #artfestival #celebrate #energy #flow #movement #paintings #drawings #art #emergingartist #abstractexpressionism #abstract #synesthesia

My artist statement for #artomatic2017, should you be interested. I'm including just the text here as well as the actual image. MY MOST WATCHED MOVIES OF THE 1980’S I love movies. Visual storytelling is something that’s always been really important to me as far back as I can remember, be it TV, comics, or film, but there’s something about movies in particular that’s always struck a chord with me. The effects and the scores, the use of the camera and the performances -- every element is important. Every element matters and contributes to the end product. Small armies of people coming together to create a 2-hour story that has impact and merit is proof that we can do great things when we work together. The drawings on display are all characters from the movies I watched most growing up. As a child of the 1990’s, the movies I saw on TV most were all from the 1980’s. Channel 5 and Channel 20 would loop the same couple dozen flicks every Saturday afternoon and I ate it up. Those and the handful of VHS’s we had at home provided the majority of my youthful film-watching. Movies are insidious and powerful and beautiful and tragic and hilarious. They pull emotions out of you you didn’t know you felt. I hope that I was able to elicit some of those same emotions in my art that I felt while watching these films as a child. -Rambo #artomatic #ilovemovies #rambozus #rambozusart #moviesofthe80s #1980smovies #raidersofthelostark #thebluesbrothers #creepshow #tradingplaces #nationallampoonsvacation #gremlins #teenwolf #legend #standbyme #themonstersquad #dirtyrottenscoundrels #harlemnights

I went to Artomatic 2017 in Crystal City, VA a few times.  They showcase lots of local artists from DC and the surrounding area.   The art ranges from photography and painting to sculptures and films.  I have gone almost every year it has been held since 2007.  I love seeing the art that local groups and artists have done.  This year was especially interesting because there was a lot of art commenting on the Trump presidency.
