Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. Is UrbanMedium a team of designers? A guerilla marketing campaign? Perhaps a corporate giant masquerading in an attempt to infiltrate the minds of urban youth? None of the above...UrbanMedium is the alias of artist Derek Fridman whose knack for creating sweet eye candy was born out of a daydream back in 2000 and fueled by the frustration of the 9 to 5 grind. UrbanMedium creates the kind of art you will want to hang on your walls, wear on your body, and plaster all over your environments.
