Mariah Mata: Funky



        I feel Funky was most embraced in the 1980‘s with vibrant neon colors and wild hair. I wanted to show how times change, but classic styles always come back. This character is letting out her true self for the photographer, from the big hair to the funky blue mustache. She is embracing her silly side, her love of bright colors, and her individuality. She is comfortable with showing her true colors.

I think artists sometimes get so caught up in their own medium, and own work that they often at times lose sight of the art community as a whole.  I know for myself my dear friend who does awesome make up, sure he is still learning and might have a long way to go...but who can say they have achieved artist nirvana? I realized after watching him apply makeup for a shoot we were collaborating on just why you should call someone a makeup artist. After we finished the shoot I asked him if he could do something "Funky" for me, he came up with this in about 5 minutes just playing around.  Realization: think of everyone as an artist in the work they do, sure they might not do the same kind of artwork you do, but someone's passion is most probably always art in its own right.

Funky is a very broad term that means different things for different people.
For some, it is a music genre from the 1960s.Likewise, it could be seen as a fashion statement that was either popular in the same time frame or even a more modern version.
Since the age of five (when I accidentally drank old milk), it has had only one meaning to me, and that is the most literal definition: moldy.  Mold makes any food dangerous to eat, so that instead of provided nourishment, it now is a threat in itself.  Not only is that warped enough to be "funky", but the smell is horrible enough that even an image like this one could bring that remembered scent resurface.

          What is going on? Is that real? Why? What am I on? This is the reactions I like to get when something is really funky. I love to get the feeling of another demotion. That is how I can tell if it is truly funky. All the different colors, patterns, and textures normally would not work but for funky, its perfect.

  Long exposures have always interested me. They are cool and a little funky. It seems to always be a challenge to make a design with a small light in the dark.
  I love the fact that photography literally means drawing with light. Sometimes you can spend hours in the dark with a light and a camera and not even realize it. www.beyondmegapixels.com

           The origins of the United State's pop art movement are based on the 'impersonal' and the 'mundane' of living in the American culture of the 1950s and 1960s.  Pop art also had its hands in appropriation: most artists labeled it as a way to create the 'mass-production' feel of popular culture in America.  My image was influenced most by Roy Lichtenstein, whose art was aesthetically based off of the halftone printing of comics.  The Tate Modern, London, has many of Lichtenstein's work on display.  You should check out his most known piece, 'Whaaam!'
