Art For Art's Sake

Introduction

I was just thinking of all the artists I know, as well as writers, and though none of them are nationally famous, thanks to being able to share pieces like this on Vocal I can give a little shout-out to them. This will be mainly visual artists.

I shared this about some great comedians a few years back and they are still going strong.

John Coatsworth

He is an artist I don't personally know, but his artwork never fails to amaze me.

Bob Armstrong

Bob is an amazing landscape artist. I used to do his website but he now has full control of that (I don't really like doing websites). Check out his Facebook page to see more of his excellent work.

Emily Ward

Emily is a Facebook friend and as well as artwork, she produces lots of related things, again check out her Facebook page for examples of her work.

Bridget Wilkinson

Bridget produces some amazing mainly marine-based art, and is based on the North East coast.

Emma Stothard

Emma Stothard is responsible for some amazing wire net sculptures and in the story above you can see her Heritage Trail in Whitby.

Jordan Reyne

Jordan is first of all an amazing musician. When I first saw her I was so impressed that I bought three of her CDs and she is one of the few artists from whom I automatically buy their new releases without question.

She is also an amazing artist as well as you can see.

Angie Livingstone

Angie is a stunning artist and has inspired me to write stories and poetry based on her creations. Here is one of them:

Anna Cross

Anna Cross creates some amazing willow sculptures and every year I visit her "Huntress Of Skipton Castle Woods" which I wrote about here.

Rebecca Cother

Rebecca produces some both cute and impressive paintings. I also created the above video of some of her artwork.

Chris Morton

Chris Morton is one of my more famous friends. He is responsible for many iconic record covers from the late 1970's onwards.

Mick and Aly Smith

Mick and Aly produce some amazing sculptures, artwork and writing and Mick's creations have inspired pieces from me like this, his exhibition with Michelle Goulder:

Conclusion

These are some of the artists that I have connections with and they give us some amazing works.

I know I have missed many, but I hope that you visit a few of these and check out their work.
