Neon light of Chateau Marmont*

Kelee Katillac and Izayah Jeffrey at the Chateau Marmont 2009

Do you believe in fairytales or have you stopped and grown up

like I had ? Every day we go through our own routines and 

sometimes it takes a miracle or a dream to come true for us to 

remember that in the balance of life, Love truimphs over all*

Contrary to modern popular thought The Chateau Marmont is not just a fantastical folly in the lala-land of make believe* It is a modern gothic castle that is dreamy and real, as well as mysterious,luxurious and unique* It was for those reasons that a very dear friend of mine, a well known artist and truly down to earth celebrity (because of her own beautifully unique and creative style) Kelee Katillac hosted my 4oth Birthday Dream in Hollywood overlooking downtown LA at The Chateau Marmont. From the moment I met Kelee earlier that day her eyes glistened and her smiles widened* She took me to

an fantabulous lunch at The Ivy and then we went right over to the Chateau* Our check-In went soo smoothly and we when our room was surprisingly upgraded, we were told it was simply because they had liked the last name of K A T I L L A C. With more smiles and some giggles we got onto the rickety old elevator and went to our 2 bedroom suite on the 4th floor overlooking the back walkway to the pool* We opened the door to our bright and spacious suite. I N C R E D I B L E 

Our suite had a Kitchen, Dining room and beautiful balcony.The outdoor terrace felt alot like a tree house in the deliciously scented  and majestic eucalyptus. It was this outdoor area we had cool water drinks of yummy goodness. I sat against the gothic stone 

balustrade and Kelee totally captured my image in that moment perfectly* Fun and Love with my Dearest *

We

We checked into the Life of Hollywood but we 

never checked out.

My fairy godmother and beloved friend Kelee Katillac*

Getting together with your girlfriends to talk about everything that's 

currently the end of the world.(End of World Meaning many things)

Overly-Psycho-Analyzed Themed Artwork

" Anyone can: " Over Do it" but when some Artists base their work on " Overly-Psycho-Analyzed themes it can be just a smoke screen with mirrors used to deflect the underlying issue that they have very little or no Organic True Fine Art Talent *More than just mesmerizing by over arranging of words and concepts, True Fine Artists are visionaries and have great visual talent to back them up. Psycho-Analyzed themes are attention getters for certain but without innate raw talent these themes

are just that. Themes thought up in ones head to stun , shock , persuadeor  draw attention. Fine Art is done with skill and mastering that skill but with the energy comes deep from within the heart and soul, not just the head* Thus: Artistic Psychosis*

self portrait study of Izayah Jeffrey  Southern California Artist 2009

Izzy's word of the month: Gallerist*

Gallerist: A Lover of Fine Art & Galleries 

also a Expert of Fine Art. In most cases: 

A Fine Art Gallery Owner or Fine Artist. 

"The case for buying art – even if it's a luxury!"

And, why it’s even okay to purchase art directly from artists - right now. "The paradigm has shifted. Less than a year ago, 

the wealthy [or seemingly rich] were in a feeding frenzy

scooping up contemporary art - at the most notable of 

galleries, art expos and auction houses in New York, 

Miami, Paris, London, Venice and beyond. The value

of the art work was highly inflated – boosted by 

the insatiable appetites of those who wanted to 

consume and who believed the spin… “you must

own this. ” The spin-meisters? Gallerists, 

curators & art "advisors" who had something to gain.

Less-than-well-executed paintings, broken pottery, 

preserved wildlife, graffiti, cartoons - even excrement

– was touted as “important,” as precious, as invaluable

– and hundreds ofthousands – if not several millions of

dollars were spent. “Good” art seemed out of reach for all but the top echelon. And the art purchased? Its value has 

plummeted [like most things]. It is possible it will never 

recover the value paid. The “investors” were sold not

on quality, but on the buzz created by clever marketers. 

So why buy art now? Because no one else is.Visual artists

 throughout the world have suffered the lingering drag 

of the economy. Hardly anyone is attending the “big shows”

sales have slumped, prices have dropped, and galleries 

have closed. The artists, creating their work alone in 

their studios are still making fabulous art. It can be 

had for a song…right now. You don’t need to 

believe the buzz… just believe your heart. 

Sure, visit the galleries – visit the expos – 

but going directly to the artist is neither a sin – 

nor a mistake. If you find work that calls to you

– and it is affordable – buy it. Buy it now. First 

ask yourself these questions – Is this particular art something: · Forever – Do you want to live with for eternity? 

Will it have  meaning to your children or a museum someday?

· Of quality? Is it exceptionally well made? · Of unquestionable integrity? That demonstrate honesty – does it reveal something about the artist, his or her vision

 – does it tell a story? · Unique – is it extraordinary? 

The only one of its kind – not manufactured or 

created by one of the artist’s assistants? Is it rare 

enough – distinctive? Some artists churn out work

 on an assembly line – [and some galleries sell it] 

make sure this isn’t seen everywhere. · Irreplaceable? 

Not just in the sense that it is insurable… 

do you dream about owning it? · Impractical? 

I’m not talking about a clever lampshade or 

hand-bound journal · Admired? Do others feel

 the same passion for the artist as you do? Is it a luxury? You bet. So why buy direct from the artist? · People. People like to buy from people. You’ll create

 a relationship with the artist. You know what makes

them tick and why their unique gift – their art - is the

art that speaks to your soul. You will know each other 

for years to come. The artist will stay in touch – will 

show you their new work first – will invite you to their 

shows… and they’ll love you forever just for buying their

work. · Pleasure. Luxury consumption – buying art - 

is all about the experience – your senses will come alive

 – you will have an emotional connection to the art

\ – you will derive great satisfaction from owning the

one-and-only piece. · Purpose. As non-utilitarian as your 

art purchase may be… it still has a purpose – it is décor 

after all – it will have its place on your wall or on a pedestal. In conclusion, what may seem to be a luxury – buying art 

– from the artist, is actually a very sensible and practical move 

- in this economy – at this moment. In time, the art market 

may shift back to the old paradigm. So in the meantime, 

supporting working artists is more important than ever. 

Is not just a wise financial assumption, it will be good for 

your soul [and theirs]. And, the benefit of staring at your 

art purchase at your home of office may keep your heart 

fluttering until the economy returns to normal. "By Marie-Thérèse Beddoes 2009 - June

It's wild to think that almost eighteen

years has gone by and my most cherished niece 

Kassandra has grown up and will be a senior

in highschool this fall. I think we relate so well

because we are alot alike, have many similiar 

interests and have always communicated 

and carried on as good friends would. On Kass's 

13th Birthday she called me and said: 'Uncle Iz, 

You know I'm 13 now and I'm growing up.

As I grow up Uncle Iz you have to grow up with me.'

It was that moment I began to transform from my 

Peter Pan like cocoon. While visiting me in March

we went to LA as "Butterflys" and had several random

photo shoots. To see some of the photos we liked

Izzy's Word of the Month: Recessionista

A person with such innate sense of fashion that can they can endure times of burden and misfortune as in a poor economy and still keep on looking their best with extraordinary style. A recessionista never allows a recession or a poor economy to impair their wardrobe so they become creative when shopping on a budget and sometimes even make their own unique fashion from scratch or old clothing and manage to remain in the style of the current fashion trends as they do so.

You don't have to be rich or famous to have great taste. Actually true great taste is an innate sense.You either have it naturally or you don't.

Confessions of a blogger

I started blogging over four years ago due to a suggestion of an artist friend. In the beginning I found the word blog abit strange and my thoughts of blogging were clearly uncertain but still the idea had a groovy cool, kinda bizarre appeal to it. I began blogging like I was keeping a journal or diary about my life. Many times it was to share things with family and close friends that I missed. Sometimes it was documentation or info about art, while other times just my own personal choice interest . Several times a week I would create a new post featuring my own photographs and artwork, ideas, affirmations, travels or maybe just various bunch of my own flowery words, regardless it was always meant something for me. As I grew accustomed to what had become a pleasant routine and a new venue for ideas, people around the world started to take notice of what I was posting and started leaving positive comments and interesting feedback. Only once did I receive a negative comment in which it was very obvious to me that this person put alot of effort into their wanting me to think my blog wasn't as 'Fabulous' as they wanted me to think. I figured out that this leisurely go fuck yourself remark was from one of those Freebie People (in which I featured and mentioned a few posts prior to this one) Enough said. People often tell me how they appreciate what I do. It's  nice to hear, but it's just something I enjoy doing and will continue doing, just as I do. The great thing is feeling secure about what I post. When I post anything it's usually from my heart, a remix of what ever is  on my mind that day and then somehow edited. As many years of blogging have gone by I have started other blogs, made links to these blogs and links to to other sites. As I create more, I may go a certain direction and then stop,turn around and go another way for my own reasons. I'm honored when others find interest in me and my art.Thank you! I apprectiate life giving energy. Namaste' Izayah.

His interior spaces are beautiful, artful and full of meaning – as he describes:

“Home is – at its core – about our spiritual and physical health. So, in the dining room that means fresh food and friends. One of my passions is artfully displaying flowers and furniture. I love these deep blue hydrangeas and the retro table setting! On the dining room buffet is my soul-food, still-life statement of ‘love and beauty.’

The living room is really alive, as it is ever changing and arranged around my working studio of dripping paint brushes, drying canvases, photo shoots and other art assemblages.”

I truly love what he’s done, unique in its own way like every one of the Design Stars I’ve featured – and continue to search for. Inspiring is a Palm Springs artist and photographer, whose work also reflects what he calls “Modpop”, an “eclection of artform, unifying modern and popular.” His work has been shown in Southern California art galleries and in private collections from the U.K. to New York, San Francisco, LA, San Diego and Palm Springs. Kelee Kattilac*

CALIFORNIA Art Movement Palm Springs Artist Izayah Jeffrey

modpop izayah jeffrey palm springs ca

A former director of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, whose name I cannot recall right now, said that any art to be art, must be prophetic. However, he meant prophetic in the true sense of the Greek root of the word, propheo, which means to bring forth what is true -to hold forth what is most real. It does not mean to tell the future. However, for the artist who is prophetic it seems like he is telling the future, because he is seeing what is real in the present, that others cannot see. This artist is that kind of prophet. He sees what we cannot see and reflects it back in a thousand different ways. Dare I say that in an age when everything has to have a "message" or a "meaning", that's what this artist reflects back is (do I dare use the word) "loveliness". Izayah gives back to us what we most need in a sense of ourselves, the loveliness that surrounds us, the angle we miss, the shade that eludes us, and the awe and awesome world in which we live. I am happy when I see his work, I feel joy when I see what he notices and captures and holds before me. I inwardly smile at this beauty of his. He is a prophet and an exquisite, exceptional artist holding before us the "now" that is so easily missed.

Costa Rica Adventure

COSTA RICA is an amazing place to visit. This land is

extremely fertile as it has 6% of the earths plant life on it's

.01 % of earth's landmass. In early morning you can clearly

hear the Howler monkeys at their most active. Throughout

the day numerous birds, reptiles, butterfly's, monkeys, 

and sloths can be seen. At night little flesh colored

lizards with black eyes come out chasing the

assortment of strange looking beetles in flight.

SARAKAY an IZAYAH favorite

Wherever I travel I'm always searching for

art & artists that I've never seen before. This

trip to Manuel Antonio Costa Rica I came across this

mixed media painting that grabbed my attention.

It is signed by SARAKAY. I couldn't find much out

about the artist but this piece really stood out

from numerous other brightly painted tropical pieces

of artwork done by the local artists. This is my choice 

favorite art piece from this trip

Into the Mangroves of Damas Island

A prehistoric looking environment that is calm & silent

Sunshine came out over Damas islands and monkeys jumped

aboard our boat looking for handouts. A very relaxing day.

After a 5 1/2 hour Airbus ride from LAX we arrive

in San Jose Costa Rica. After waiting with many 

others at a very small domestic flight terminal 

about 15 of us board the smallest plane I've ever seen.

Passengers and baggage all weighed accordingly. 

Once in the air i fall asleep only to waken to turbulence

of major wind and severe rain as we make our final

descent. We watch out the windows to see the clusters

of palm trees coming closer and closer at us.

As the plane barely clears these trees we hit 

the small runway and bump around for quite some

time before making a complete stop. 

We've made it to the Pacific coast.

IZAYAH IN COSTA RICA

Manuel Antonio Vacation Spring 2008

A beautiful place with many beaches and miles of hiking

trails. Spectacular views to see from mountain lookouts

where the rain forest drops off the edge of earth and 

down into the sea hundreds of feet below.

costa rica iguana & airconditioning

These creatures are every where, it's best to keep your

windows and doors closed at night. If you're thinking of coming

to Costa Rica on Vacation make sure the resort or hotel

you are checking out is fully air conditioned. Also be sure to

specify: Ocean View from your room,  if that is desired.

The beach is a 10-15 minute taxi ride from most resorts.

mmmmmmmmmuch amusement

A great day cruising islands in the pacific coast off Costa Rica

Friendly people, great snorkeling, awesome weather and

Manuel Antonio

Well to be honest,  i thought I'd being laying around

at the beach sipping cocktails till sunset and

getting a fabulous tan.  On the contrary. The ocean

is a 15 minute taxi ride from most hotels which are

clustered high up in the hills of Manuel Antonio.

The resort I'm at is called Si Como No meaning:  Sure, why not!

It has killer views of the rain forest as well as panoramic

views of the Pacific ocean. Be prepared for exercise, wildlife,

including insect friends, (leave your fragrances at home)

Be prepared for electrical surges, as the power can go out

several times a day for a few minutes or more at any time.

Mermaid Hearts

Izayah Jeffrey Photographed by Shahram Farshadfar

Spring is an awesome time of inspiration and growth.   

My art opening was a retrospect of my work from 

my past five years of living and creating art in the desert. 

Among my mixed media paintings and new photographs,

I created a new pop art series of mermaid hearts and colorfully

hand painted buddha images, called remarques'. 

The over-all experience was enlightening as it pushed

me abit to go out of what i know and into creating something

new and original. As i spend the year ahead creating new art

I delve into the unknown as i challenge myself and my ability

by executing new techniques. My idea to create the ModPopArt

website offering images over the internet is under recreation. 

More research is needed to create an artsite that will offer

Mod Pop limited edition artist prints by Izayah Jeffrey.

about Blog

 

Welcome to Izayah Jeffrey BlogSpot 2008.

This year brings about lots of changes as i've

updated my computer, and have lots of  great 

and exciting new things to learn & share. 

I started blogging well over 2 years ago with

an idea of what i wanted to blog, but not really 

knowing what it's affect would be. A friend

introduced me to blogging and urged me 

to check it out. When i first heard the word blog 

i thought: what the heck is that? The more i learned 

about blogging , it became clearer how interesting 

and important  journaling, keeping a diary and 

documenting really is, whether you're an artist of 

any sort, or just creative. I have seen many different

blogs on many different topics and i what i noticed is

the more visually pleasing they are, the more hits 

they get, and the shorter and better written they are, 

the more they are remembered. As 2008 continues on, 

you'll see many new things on my blog.

If there's anything you see on this blog that

catches your eye and if you have any questions

feel free to send email to: modpop@mac.com.

IZAYAH @ PRIDE GALLERY

Izayah jeffrey is rediscovering and remixing the styles of the 50's, 60's and 70's  and transforming them into original artwork of today. His paintings and photography  glean the best of the modern art movement, particularly Pop Art and Op Art, updating  everything into a hip, funky retro-current style he calls mod pop art.

November brings much cooler temps. My Hibiscus is in bloom and I'm writing a new monthly article for Scratch UK magazine.

Abbreviation of Popular Art

Palm Springs California , Marilyn Monroe

Art & Photography by Izayah Jeffrey Autumn 2007 The Pop Art movement used common everyday objects to portray elements of popular culture, primarily images in advertisements and tv. The term Pop was first used by an English critic in a 1950's. The Pop Art movement began in England in the 1950s and found its way to the America in the 1960s as seen in the work of , Roy Lichtenstein, Jim Dine, and Robert Rauschenberg. It developed in the U.S.A in response to the World War II era and the fast growing materialistic consumers. An extremely recognized recognized Pop Artist, Andy Warhol, used a mass production printmaking technique called seriagraphy to produce his commentaries on media, fame, and advertising. Pop Art made commentary on contemporary society, culture, and consumerism, by using popular images and icons and re-defining them artistically. Some subjects were derived from advertisements, product packaging, Hollywood, as well as comics. The images presented everyday, contemporary life. As Pop Art revolutionized the relativity of art it eliminated the distinction between fine art and commercial art methods by shattering the divide between them.Izayah Jeffrey 2007

a new way of thinking, an eclection

Palm Springs California Art & Photography Izayah Modpopart is a vision of izayah jeffrey to create art movement similar to those movements of the 50's, 60's and 70's. Art movement is everchanging. Modpop is an eclection of artform, unifying modern and popular.

i enjoy doing graphic design,photography & website creation

but my real love is in the arranging,

the painting, the sketching, the writing.

the art in the act of each experience, everyday life.

growth that is essential and enjoyably creative

in that moment, makes an outstanding reality.

with an italian 1960's influence.

Thia's Purple Bay Glass

An inspiration, a truly amazing soul Izayah with June, Devin and Thia collecting glass Shards and pieces of broken bottle glass , glass dishes and cups were amongst the lovelies that were scavenged at the nearby Ryder Park. A beautiful day with the most organic loving hearts. i love you guys, thanks for the best time ever. Thia & I scored big time as we each have a piece of the rare Purple Bay glass jewels that were found. Devin came right up to me and we clicked immediately. He is outgoing, fun loving and sweet with a gigantic blue eyed smile.

ModPopArt Update

more than a glimpse. a look at what Mod Pop imagery is about.

while working on commissioned art works, and planning an eventful

upcoming art season, imagery and photos i have taken are going

in different directions. While MopPopArt.com is a life long goal/dream,

izayahjeffrey.com is becoming the every day reality of how i express

myself through the Fine Art of Painting and Photography.

Both websites are under creation, one will be launched this fall, at a private soiree.

After I Fell Asleep

When i woke up from this

really strange dream i had a new friend

that inspires me, creates alot like i do

and knows how to enjoy life.

His paintings and photography depict

a life and death dance of living

SWIMMING WITH SEA TURTLES

artist izayah jeffrey kauai sea turtles 

I must be honest, my trip to KAUAI (pronounced KAWAII) was only phenomenal. The highlight for me was snorkeling in crystal blue water and getting over my fears of going over and out past the coral reef barefooted(i forgot my flippers) and swimming way out where the open sea drops more than 20 to 50 feet below and deeper. Once i had made it carefully over the reef without getting scraped up too badly, i was free in the sea, and that's when i saw my first giant sea turtle about ten feet away, munching away on seaweed. as the waves were really strong i found a good place to wedge myself in between the rocks and then this amazing animal with eyes dark as night with a perfectly smooth shell swam right up to me , so I stretched out my arm and my hand gently slid along the back of the sea turles shell. that's when i noticed we weren't alone and saw the other two sea turtles, coming closer. that moment for me was a true gift and i have never felt more alive. as the other turtles came close, i thought it best to be on my way, so i followed a school of vividly colored fish over the reef and back to shore. when i was very young my father took me over many coral reefs and out to open sea to experience this entirely different world, i'm soo thankful that he did, because now i cannot imagine my life without it.

NA PALI COAST

Snorkeling Na Pali Coastline Izayah Jeffrey California

Na Pali snorkeling Kauai Pacific Ocean Izayah Jeffrey a beautiful drive around the island to the best snorkeling spot ever.

a small beach where the road ends, under a lush canopy of dense foliage,

majestic sea cliffs overhead, a great place to swim with sea turtles and fish of rainbow

colors, this is the NAPALI Coastline. After crossing several one lane bridges and making numerous curves around many bends, you'll find yourself at Ke'e Beach at Ha'ena State Park. GORGEOUS!!!!
