Hurley Art's Johanna O'Donnell and Kevin Earl Taylor

Hurley Art recently spotlighted artists Johanna O'Donnell and Kevin Earl Taylor. Check out their interviews and artwork on Hurley.com.

JOHANNA O'DONNELL

Florida artist Johanna O'Donnell often envisions a painting after listening to a song. "Fully formed pieces will pop into my head. Some call it the artistic muse. I call it awesome because it reminds me that I'm merely an instrument of creative forces, not the force itself. This helps with reducing the artistic ego, which is not your friend."

KEVIN EARL TAYLOR
Kevin Earl Taylor was one of those skate-or-die kids in high school. Those were the days when he was sponsored by Thunder Trucks, skipped prom to skate, and listened to punk. Skateboarding was important for another reason too. The San Francisco-based painter says it helped him to develop an artist's mindset. "When you're skateboarding, you're kind of walking down the sidewalk, and everything you look at has the potential to be something else," he said. "If you're behind a shopping center, and there's nothing to skateboard on, all of a sudden you start looking at the trashcans, and the dumpsters, and this crappy piece of wood that's lying on the ground. And you start to almost make this kind of recreational sculpture."

Featured Artists Mel Kadel and Jim Houser

New to Hurley Art's online features are interviews with artists Mel Kadel and Jim Houser. Check them out!

Mel Kadel
Mel Kadel lives in the hills above Los Angeles with her partner Travis Millard, creating intricate pen and ink washes on coffee-stained paper. Take a look at her latest works.

Jim Houser
In 2009 Philly artist Jim Houser moved out of and back into his house, built a new kitchen, got married, had hip surgery, got his wife pregnant, and did three shows. No wonder his latest crop of paintings, sculptures, and installations don't show the same frenetic pace - instead, they're the near opposite: purposeful, considered, and peaceful. Take a look...

Mia Doi Todd's new music video for "Open Your Heart" has been receiving a lot well-deserved attention. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Michel Gondry, the video is kaleidoscope of colorful visuals and clever filmmaking.
