Vinny V – 3-D Artist

Nowhere Man — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:22:31 +0000

Stand right there! You’re in 3-D!

I walked into Vinny V one sunny day holding out 3-D glasses to me. I put the ‘50s-style paper spectacles on and stepped into his “paint-by-numbers-on-acid” world. Beneath me, a rectangle of red, green, blue and yellow paint spread out as if a carpet. Through the glasses, it looked like I would fall into it if I stepped forward.

With a little coaxing from Vinny, I denied my instinct to “not step off a ledge” and BAM–I stepped forward–hovering above Venice Beach for a moment.

In these photos, the artist floats in 3-D above his work. Go get your glasses!

Ra Superstar – International Art

For over 15 years, Ra Superstar has painted in acrylics, stone and sand on Venice Beach. He told me this story:

One day I met an artist from NY called Pep while I was drumming and sleeping on the Brooklyn Bridge. Pep wanted to learn drumming so he gave me a meal at his home which was filled with art. It was then that I was first inspired to paint.
