Style Guide
Austin Allen James
Austin began his art career in 1994 as a poet. His love for
playing with words and phrases and his love for color naturally
led him to experimenting with paint and motion. He started
painting in 1996 and exhibiting as a professional artist in 1997.
Austin believes that art is energy. Each human being has his or
her own unique form of energy. An artist is capable of
translating this energy into art. Austin’s pieces focus on organic
shapes, color, the natural flow of matter and motion. His MFA in
Poetry from Naropa University has infused a lyrical sensibility
into Austin’s work.
“I love color, movement and lyrics in my art. To be successful, the
art must be memorable when one turns away.”

Rivers
Neon flower, neon carousel
neon bombshell; swim hard
towards the fire place after a
sweet steam wrapped bubble
of dizzy southern charm
cream and yes, definitely dive
into the wood fiber and swim;
it’s a carriage, it’s a sleigh; it’s
a bottle bag of steel train and
mermaid musk swims the day.
A porcelain vessel of pink
flowers and mint gold and
champagne all hot and cold
and fussy. Eat cabbage and
designer shoes you dispenser
of the morning star electric
mist in the salt air; keep your
flesh vernal, white, blonde and
pink. Allow imperfection to
spin your skin rouge as you
fan towards the gulf and
disappear.

Sea Swell
The sea rolled and spit a toad
onto salty wet sand one billion
years before I met you. A yawn
of higher jabber metamorphosis

intersection. What is it to loose a
tear: A sole drop. A current on
the far slope. What is it to find a
diamond rolled by the moon?
What is it to wrap arms and
yowl? Among the black forest
with the rock men and their funk
dog yahoo yap yell with no
rhyme or rhythm or purpose;
until hunger uncovers the sea
swell, a second sky scape, a
sunset a portal.
