After some digging, Davis discovered these abstract works to be by actor, painter and filmmaker Greg Siff. Siff is creating the works to create viral buzz for his new film entitled painT, which is currently is currently in pre-production.<br /> <br />painT will be a contemporary retelling of the life of Vincent van Gogh with the main character of ‘Vinny’ played by Siff himself. Siff explains the film as:<br /> <br />“what if Vincent van Gogh was born today? painT tells the story of Vinny, a struggling artist and quintessential “art underdog” who sees the world as a living, breathing painting. Set against the backdrop of the New York & L.A. art scene, painT is an American update on the tragic life of van Gogh, seen through the eyes of his modern day counterpart and spiritual heir, examining the fine line between love, madness, and paint.”<br /> <br />According to a new survey in this week’s Herald Scotland, more than a quarter of children under the age of 11 do not know who Vincent van Gogh is while 10% believe is a ‘footballer.’ Perhaps van Gogh is in need of an updating in order to distinguish him from David Beckham.<br /><br />I feel good.Greg Siffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820095257504073406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671101598280995462.post-59833166046790200752010-08-15T17:40:00.000-07:002010-08-15T17:45:20.148-07:00LEAD WITH YOUR HEART. - GREGORY."OH MY GOD!!!

She shot over 9 setups over the course of a 12 hour day and night in Bushwick, Brooklyn before i came out to LA. the rest is history as she has painted the story's fine moments with her camera, the night ending in a full-on photo realistic version of the famous painting by Vincent van Gogh, skull with burning cigarette. here is a link to her work, some of the painT series, that will premiere at the Standard, Hollywood at 8300 Sunset Blvd. for the painT exhibition. check out some of the behind the scenes polaroids as well. she is on point, and i can live in my dreams longer because of her. thank you alana for styling a modern day vinny, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">thank </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">you </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;">ingrid for magic.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#3333FF;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#3333FF;">stylist: Alana Hudkins<br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><a href="http://ingridmellor.com/index.php?/project/paint/">INGRID MELLOR</a></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><a href="http://ingridmellor.com/index.php?/project/paint/"></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></div></div></div>Greg Siffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820095257504073406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671101598280995462.post-75336393177069351652010-03-20T10:06:00.000-07:002010-03-20T10:18:38.327-07:00it's happening.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAzKST1Uz9Lz45p3pHFaFQPFoBqoSHz0ouB9t_0Vd1_-svllHz4uHPjeFCCKYSSoytpKCeacmYlHA36SEZ1ZTOVUhLe7Ey32L89XKhjYT1DvjBj85q0RnBbUvesUx7T7lbdjVHLz95blEn/s1600-h/sc009f3c8b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAzKST1Uz9Lz45p3pHFaFQPFoBqoSHz0ouB9t_0Vd1_-svllHz4uHPjeFCCKYSSoytpKCeacmYlHA36SEZ1ZTOVUhLe7Ey32L89XKhjYT1DvjBj85q0RnBbUvesUx7T7lbdjVHLz95blEn/s320/sc009f3c8b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450766626745923458" /></a>Greg Siffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820095257504073406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671101598280995462.post-68115375944404156092010-03-09T00:49:00.000-08:002010-03-09T00:52:23.849-08:00i met this man on the D train 4 years ago.<a href="http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/04.22/05-bigpic.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">DAVID NOARD</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"> - Actor/Playwright of My Name Is Vincent</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">he told me that if you do a movie about van Gogh, do not forget </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_intermittent_porphyria"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">A.I.P.</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><div><div><a href="http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/04.22/05-bigpic.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/04.22/05-bigpic.html</span></a></div></div></div>Greg Siffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820095257504073406noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671101598280995462.post-78768491981840412822010-02-05T10:10:00.000-08:002010-02-05T10:48:31.234-08:00coming from the stars.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWKf6vwBDfUB7_i0iSnnH_AVZp26VgH5p3eNvX69FHAWGfKIWEGVbOihplglcCTL_HN3_sUsA1xqo7lEBci4i2z6Xady8p0M_Sl16JJAJdp6bMsgc0fjMpmBxtQtdJScmO4PpQrwPVYTDw/s1600-h/IMG_0177.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWKf6vwBDfUB7_i0iSnnH_AVZp26VgH5p3eNvX69FHAWGfKIWEGVbOihplglcCTL_HN3_sUsA1xqo7lEBci4i2z6Xady8p0M_Sl16JJAJdp6bMsgc0fjMpmBxtQtdJScmO4PpQrwPVYTDw/s320/IMG_0177.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434832636553577922" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Been in LA for 2 weeks now.

I think Rosario, said it best when in Atlantic City over bubble gum Vodka and ice cubes he said, "I don't know what it is about that painting, but if I had that on my wall I would just feel good every time I looked at it."

Justice by Uniting in Creative Energy</a>, a great charity that gives inner-city youth a place to rap, paint, breakdance, express themselves. I sold every painting. I gave them over a thousand dollars and I felt it was worth it to have a heart break for this. It hurt to say goodbye to someone you would hold and smell and bite and love but it felt good to know that something i could express in paint could be used to help people, especially kids. give give give. it's a good way to live. it was after this breakup or just at the peak of where the damn thing began to crumble that my buddy, popped out from behind a car on that beverly hills block, palm dr., with this mask on and scared the shit out of me. like the kind of scary shit that happens when you're only in your basement and it's pure dark and you can't see and you feel your breath run down your upper lip and hit your chest warmth and it feels like maybe, just maybe somebody else is down there staring at you and waiting to eliminate your whole being. buddy pops out, pulls off his mask, laughs like the clown prince, and says "you did shit your pants though didn't you? this is for you." he gives me the mask and the rest is the life to be lived on screen. thank you buddy. for entering stage left and bringing forth the play of things, for encapsulating these moments as they happened, dreamlike storybook images in a haze of what i remember and love about a path that looks so much like the one you wished for. an adventure of a lifetime. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF0000;">you </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FFFF00;">art</span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">machine.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;">G</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><i><a href="http://www.myspace.com/dacksonphoto"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">photographs by Stephen Dackson</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, Beverly Hills Buddy, 2005</span></i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><i>thank you for the photos and for encapsulating the moment so well, just as i remember it and just as it was lived.</i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP4rjqpfTaNJNPq4nQv_XtHJLtNQpEeTyGJzIrqttXuY5VcAltq5Dv17mFFqj6KX76ucmCMbVCyfHOWgecNE-6_i5Gl3wjRpAHqJ7ZbXUtDg-jtZAR07u6tQGaG1gWx8t9PZYM0nYyUxmL/s1600-h/16plate.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP4rjqpfTaNJNPq4nQv_XtHJLtNQpEeTyGJzIrqttXuY5VcAltq5Dv17mFFqj6KX76ucmCMbVCyfHOWgecNE-6_i5Gl3wjRpAHqJ7ZbXUtDg-jtZAR07u6tQGaG1gWx8t9PZYM0nYyUxmL/s320/16plate.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417503688695117570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg34koZ6EcTllT6MSXEnXLHMTQqx1Cn8gKQL6ftQ4eaU8shmK9SEWfiUg20aVmrNLn9T0QC-tN8vd0rnTMT4qvq3xwFchf6S9iD9soF1nfeqo0pF58uua-__jzqGadjf0jmkjVFj6pk1x2g/s1600-h/paulgauguinblackwhite.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg34koZ6EcTllT6MSXEnXLHMTQqx1Cn8gKQL6ftQ4eaU8shmK9SEWfiUg20aVmrNLn9T0QC-tN8vd0rnTMT4qvq3xwFchf6S9iD9soF1nfeqo0pF58uua-__jzqGadjf0jmkjVFj6pk1x2g/s320/paulgauguinblackwhite.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417503681410944578" /></a><br /><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Times New Roman"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Times New Roman"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:16px;"></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;"><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">DACKSON/MASKED MAN –36, A mischievous artist with the thickest New York accent you have ever heard.
