You Tube Videos of NY Artist Michael Kulick

So I made my way down to the inner parts of Long Island last weekend where my cousin, NY artist Michael Kulick, resides and works. We decided to make a four part segmented video interview of him in his studio. With the interviewer behind the camera, myself, Mike talks one on one about his passion, his life, painting. This first video is a 6 min segment of his studio that scans the room which emcompasses some 80 paintings tacked high against the walls. The video is also a short one on one interview with Mike talking about his work. Check it out!

Be Water My Friend

So I'm a martial artist and a huge fan of Bruce Lee. I went home this past weekend to my small suburban town in a cluster fuck of suburban towns on Long Island to see my family and friends. I walk down to the basement where my cousin, NY artist Michael Kulick resides and works and as I descend the creaking stairs with its walls colorfully painted with faces of kings and queens I saw, leaning up against the wall...my idol. This painting stands 72in x 54in and is pure Michael Kulick smoking a cigarette watching videos of Bruce Lee and sees a vision in his head. The result: a painting of epic proportions, not following the norms of traditional painting techniques, one of nearly a hundred diverse paintings accumulated in the basement of my Bethpage home. This oil painting is one of many portraits of historical figures and icons Michael Kulick portrays in his own self-developed style of copious color, fine detail and surrealist influence. Every time I walk down those creaky stairs into his studio, his home, his place of creation, I encounter new pieces I've never seen before, anywhere. He is truly unique; truly real.

Chillin' like a villain

So I'm chilling, listening to Black Sabbath. Fell upon this song on a shuffle of their albums; I have all their albums by the way (uh oh, a pretentious gratuitous side comment!). Off their debut album Black Sabbath (1970), listening to Ozzy's voice and Geezer on bass reminds me of being a kid. My dad was a big Sabbath fan as is my cousin, Michael Kulick. I'm supposed to be doing homework for my class Making the Case for the Arts. Instead I'm listening to Black Sabbath and digging through my cousin's online inventory of artwork and pictures. Paintings, drawings

 masks, sculptures, old pics, good times, kind of missing being at home, looking foward to the summer and Leggo time. I feel like I have the attention span of a goldfish. If my mind took a breather I'd probably critque some really great pieces or maybe I'd write a poem or make my bed. Laziness. It's such a bizarre phenomenon. "Johnny Blade". Sonya Blade. Have you ever flown a kite? If I were a banana.....

<--I might look like this. I cannot tell you how weird of a mood I am in. I'd insert an inside joke but you'd have no idea what it meant. Significance is the reason why you are here. Does any of this have any significance to you? I sure hope so.

I suggest you watch this video. Or better yet, just play it and in a different browser search the web for interesting things. For me it's paintings, drawings, blogs and muslce cars? I told you, it's a weird wednesday morning. Chill out my people. But in a good way.

BROWSE and may the force be with you.

7 Skulls...of madness

7 skulls by Michael Kulick

I walked down into my basement where this mastermind lives and he says "Jess come here. This is it. This is my greatest piece." I continued to stand in front of it for almost a half an hour. This picture doesn't do this painting justice, especially since it stands over 6ft tall. I advise everyone to buy a ticket to his show this Friday. If not, visit my home on Long Island and buy an original Micahel Kulick piece. My house is an art gallery. No joke.
