Collaboration by Scott J. Taylor and Clayton Glinton
Opening Paraturday March 17th 2007, 6pm-9pm

Bad Intentions is a collection of the recent work of collaborative artists and student filmmakers Scott J. Taylor and Clayton Glinton. Strongly influenced by graffiti, blues, hip hop culture and media counterculture, the young artists developed their recent work from a need to find a creative outlet in between projects while in film school. Taylor and Glinton invite you to experience their world of bad intentions through sound, video and the daunting images of characters, challenging your view of reality.

About the artists:
Scott J. Taylor
“I do not consider myself a GRAFFITI artist. I'm so much more than that. I mean, yeah I've done some graffiti, but so what? A lot of people do that. I also do not make BLACK ART. Yes, it is true I am a big assed 210 pound Negro but I do not make Black Art” - Scott J. Taylor
Music is Taylor’s primary inspiration for most of his work. He has been drawing since he can remember. His father, also a graphic artist, taught him a lot. Taylor has always had an interest in cartoons, sex, and comic book illustration. He incorporates these subjects sparingly throughout his pieces. He has always been an avid TV casualty and comic book junkie, and it shows in his work. More recently Taylor has been experimenting with multi-layer stencils over bold mixed media backgrounds and with intense compositional framing.
Taylor has two kids, they're grrrrrrrreat--like frosted flakes. He lives in East Oakland and attends school at The Academy of the Art University.
Clayton Glinton
“I look at art as a way to satisfy the senses. I create art for the enjoyment I get out of the process and for the sight of a finished piece. I try to construct images filled with truth and illusions that can resemble different images to different viewers resulting in mixed views and interpretations. Using complex mazes of color, lines and depth my paintings intend to take the mind on a spiritual, psychedelic, sexual, and sometimes, dangerous journey. With a long background in graffiti style competition and influence I approach a canvas with an altered direction and self-satisfying goal” - Clayton Glinton
Originally from Colorado, Glinton developed his interest in the arts at a young age. He started with comic books and evolved into painting characters and letters in the streets.
Art has helped him explore things in this world once never thought possible. Currently living and attending school in San Francisco, the Bay Area has been a blessing and a wonderful source of inspiration for his work.
