A so strange art you make. Nice to get you in my contacts.

Destry S. Sparks commented on the photo 'Stare2'

Fantastic! This is one of the most imaginative portraits I've seen in years! You have studied well AND done your own thing at the same time! The color balance is rock solid. THis pyschadelic spirit/person will grab the focus of whoever meets him...

Art licensing on tiles

I specifically work with artists I have on contract with Agape Tile in Carolina. Can be labeled as "art licensing for tiles only" for commercial purposes: hotels, houses, pools, bathrooms, etc... The goal is to reproduce images on tiles.

Very unique colors! And that's saying something because I look at a LOT of art...too much really. But seeing something like this is inspiring. You're doing really creative painting! Congratulations!

This is a very nice one Damir. I like how you a mix of different levels of detail particularly with the bits of newspaper text legible. I look forward to seeing more work from you at BAP. I'm sending a freind request. I'm also very active on faceboo…

This is a very good one Linda. You've combined surrealism with a subtle bit of pop art! I look forward to seeing what new things you bring us at BAP.

Clive: You sell yourself short! We all have our strengths and weaknesses. I would just say for now to think a bit about what the process of making this painting was all about & also to consider what you like about the end product. There is a lot of…

Destry S. Sparks commented on the photo '11MontgomeryA'

Another home run image Alan! Your combination of pure abstraction with pop elements is a unique marriage. And your choice of guns & flowers amidst an explosive field of color. I suspect we are to garner a sense of imminent universal danger...but may…

Hi Marina: I just checked out the original Zoom Room post to remind myself of what you're looking for. I'll be getting in touch over the next 4-5 days or so with some artists who may be a good fit. Is the zoomroomnyc@gmail.com the best way to reach…

Fabulous work Matthew! I just attended the opening of the 25th Annual National Collage Juried Show at www.masonmurer.com in Atlanta. I have my painting, "There Is a Path", in the show. This painting definitely would've won a prize if it was there. C…

Destry S. Sparks commented on the photo 'The Ominous and the Beautiful_Mixed media'

Thanks so much! Artists tend to respond better to my work than the average Joe. But still it's always great when another artist gets what I'm doing & takes the time to give a vote of confidence! GLAD to have you as a BAP friend. I'll stay involved h…

Destry S. Sparks replied to the discussion 'open call for member artists...'

Marina: The Zoom Room is exactly the sort of project the art world needs more of! When people do something that makes this much sense, then the whole world then calls it a no-brainer. Today's artists have subscribed too often to the 'submit & wait'…

Which of the following best describe you?

Painter, Professional Creative, Art Enthusiast, Curator

How often are you the first among your friends to try something new?

Very often

What do you want people to know most about you?

I enjoy creating contemporary mixed media paintings full of mystery. I also enjoy seeing a lot of work online from international artists. Organizing group exhibitions with other artists using unconventional materials is an activity I've found to be very personally rewarding. I've helped to curate the show titled 'Natural Selection' at www.LabourLove.com gallery in Durham, NC featuring fibers, rusted metals, burlap and even a few parched bones. It'll run from November 20, 2009 to January 15, 2010..

I'll launch www.destrysparks.com during the exhibition. It seems there is never enough time to do all that can be done as an artist in this day and age! I also write about NC art for Arts Alive magazine. A good look at my work and is at www.northcarolinaartists.net & the Sandler File at www.artistsspace.org from NYC.

I also participate in shows at Touchstone Gallery in Washington, DC and in NC (at www.twogalleries.net & www.inkstonegallery.com).
