I normally will avoid blogging about art because I know there are a lot of people that just do not care, which is ok because we all have our own general interests. I have a huge passion for art and follow very few young artists. This post is in fact relevant to those of you that are unaware of the art world.

Even if you don't know the artist, Alex Noriega, he relates his work to life in humorous illustrations with quotes to complete the pieces. The quotes are significant because they are quotes you are not taught, and not something you would ever read in a book or learn in school. Generally, they are things you learn the hard way or just won't ever come out and say. After you view several of his pieces you will find yourself saying 'That is so true!"

Noriega is 29 years old and resides in Barcelona. His blog that I have taken the artwork from is called Stuff No One Told Me (but I learned anyway) and you can keep updated on his fan page on Facebook. Don't worry, he wants his work to be shared, as long as he is credited for it. If you like his stuff that much you can also purchase it, which I plan to do.

He also apparently draws all his work naked. We all get inspired in different ways: fully clothed or not.
