THE ART OF NETWORKING!

If you did not know by now art is respected in all aspects of creativity from the creative process of music to the creation of art being painted on a canvas or wall. In fact both are indeed alike in many different ways and lets just say Lu Hefner is a man of fine art, recently he had the pleasure of meeting a famous mixed media sculptor Jon Kessler. Kessler is best known for his kinetic sculptures that leave the mechanics exposed for the viewer. His work often combines centuries-old analog mechanisms with digital technology to explore the runoff of consumerist, “post-utopian” societies. He began college at SUNY Purchase from 1974—78 but left after two years to travel in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. He returned to Purchase in 1978 and graduated in 1980 with honors. Following graduation, Kessler took up a studio in Brooklyn, New York where he continues to work today. He was one of the founders of the Bozart toy company and currently teaches at Columbia University. He also plays guitar for the X-Patsys, a band he started with artist Robert Longo and actress Barbara Sukowa. As you can see now its obvious Hefner continues to meet very prestigious people in the world today so you never know who he will meet next! In other news Hefner and Kessler are in great talks of actually showcasing his artwork in one of Lu Hefner's upcoming music videos for his fans to see. It is yet to be confirmed but trust me when i say the Hefner fans will be the first to know! , and  there you have the story of a rap artist meets artist.
