Damn, I love hearing this guy talk about his art. You can really hear the amount of thought and passion goes into these works.

[@jasonbrammerart]

Thank you

[@ellenorourke895]

Amazing work! It is timeless and also perfect for this time. I love his use of color and objects. The studio is wow!

[@j.adanherrera1800]

looking for inspiration today, since I am also an artist, I stumble upon this video and I am just in awe of this guy, his work, and the way he creates it is amazing. the pieces are not just aesthetically beautiful but there's a lot of thought and meaning behind it. Your mind is your limit when you look at one of his works.I am really impressed!

[@gloriahanes3843]

Thinking outside the box - allows the artists the opportunity to think of a realm neglected by other artists. This is such an artist - Jason Brammer

[@jasonbrammerart]

Thanks, Gloria

[@Msinviernogris]

"To the alley Gods" lol Dude, your imagination just inspired me to the moon. Great work.

[@blueberrycheesecakesupremo7947]

This guy is completely out there yet so grounded. I love it.

[@tinas7352]

I remember seeing this artist back in 2010. I was on my first visit to the States and happened to have come across these works in Chicago. Very exciting. Awesome.

[@pjlewisful]

cool! I love the contrasts of bold vs. delicate, of loose vs. accurate, and of opposite types of beauty in the same space.

[@bluearbor6775]

You are Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this with the world. :)

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

Jason - I’m deeply fascinated in your vision 👁👁 I love the poetic spirit - And I’m impressed that a young man can appreciate early 1900’s architecture & design .. > I was in love with my old NYC / sadly most of it has been demolished ..🗽

you are so fucking cool. I just love love love your work, your creativity and your gods.

[@gillmiller5]

Really cool play between the 2d and 3d, or the real world elements. Reminds me a bit of Steampunk, but with an added philosophical layer, past and future.

[@geofffoster8724]

Unbelievable talent Brammer! Request for "Bamboo Triangle" as your next series...could be a game changer.

[@foamfingermaker]

Very cool.

Bravo! I have subscribed.

[@jasonbrammerart]

Thank you!

[@jasonbrammerart]

thanks

[@old-manparker6153]

Jason, U RAWK! I love that you made art to give back to the "alley gods", in thanks for finding the pieces for your show, like the couch. (Now I don't feel like such a freak!) By the way, though, did the alley gods keep the couch free of Dog pee or would that be an aromatic part of your art? Just wondering, from my own experience of "found furniture". Keep making ART my brother! -

[@willdixon9525]

Nice Dance moves!

[@TRamone01]

Definitely interesting.

[@naufrage0]

I would love to sit and chat with you, I live in Chicago myself. What are you working on these days? Your work is one of a kind.

[@elflaco6654]

+pSmall360 + I live far from Chicago, did you ever contact Jason and/or visit his studio? I enjoy collecting art and possibly opening an alternative Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

[@jasonbrammerart]

+el Flaco 66 Thanks for checking out my video. You can see more of my work at jasonbrammer.com/ Please feel free to get in touch...my contact info is on my website: jasonbrammer.com/contact/

[@jasonbrammerart]

+pSmall360 Hi, thanks for your kind words. I've been doing a lot of ink drawings and commissions lately. My latest series is called "Creaturology" and you can check it out here: jasonbrammer.com/paintings-drawings/ Also, if you want, sign up on my email list (from my website, on the "Contact" page) as I'll probably be having an open studio party sometime this spring. If you're free this Saturday, Feb 6th, I have 2 new pieces in a show at Vertical Gallery: jasonbrammer.com/exhibitions-and-events/2015/12/9/winter-group-show If you can't make it to the opening reception, the show will be up until 2/27.

[@teresafernandez6894]

Can anyone tell me who is the author of the video and how to contact him? Thanks

[@jasonbrammerart]

Hi Teresa, what can I help you with?

[@teresafernandez6894]

jasonbrammerart Good morning, I wonder if you are the author of the video or if you made it from somewhere, because I'm interested in talking to the protagonist of the video. THANK YOU

[@jasonbrammerart]

Thanks, Dog.

[@filemakerpro4050]

Never discount the #alleygods ... powerful community forces at play (for me, #clarionalley and #sycamorealley between Mission and Valencia in SF have very special powers and resonance

[@adamforehan3524]

I like to do art

[@TheNuclearHawk]

Is this type of art your original idea?

[@JimOverbeckgenius]

Try KZbin vids Dolcedo Art of the Thunderbolt Ground-floor & Mezzanine. I spent the day after the prepping of a 185 X 150 cm board starting to paint GOD ALMIGHTY - i.e. - Art should aim for the top. I've basically finished the main thematic of SATAN + there'll be miniature additions later. This is for a mural triptych SATAN GOD DEATH in that order, on an adjoining wall near Arte del Fulmine galleria. I give demons tentacles: but that's another story. Do you know of Lorenzo Alessandri or Rocco Forgione? You are in that league, which is my high praise. Keep at it, man!

[@gloriahanes6490]

Each artist has a vision to create, and once you bring something to life it becomes reality where reality did not exist. I, too, am an artist check out my work at NewStyle Artworks on Facebook page.

[@helenfreud2088]

beaty sounds, dont you think?

[@gutcurious]

We obviously need to meet. Sigh

[@Wardomatic]

We should all give back to the alley gods. ;)

[@sinsin69fifty]

DOPE Artist,…this would of been better if it was in the 5 mins zone no more, or ssy fuk it & go for the Twenty minute plus , think of ure self as a No.1 single or a classic album never a EP, unless its brilliant and you know it (metaphorically speaking of course)

[@stlapierre]

I have never heard a REAL ARTIST say JUXTAPOSED 2 times in an interview,....LOL....PREFORMING ARTIST ? and the rich will inherit the art...
