Art Photos and insight from Justin and Tom

Hi, welcome to our blog. My name is Tom and Justin is my son. I attended photography school many years ago, so I will be showing you many interesting photos from all those years. Everything from black and white artsy type shots to concert photos and regular life photos of people, places and things. Justin graduated from art school and is very gifted in all aspects of art, from a basic line drawing to acrilic and oils on canvas to computer art with vectored images done totally by hand in Corel. Some of these images have taken as much as 23 hours to produce. Justin has been doing good art since he was very young and you'll be seeing that art in addition to his latest work which includes some pretty amazing stuff. We're from Cincinnati, so we'll be not only showing you art and photos we'll be ranting about various things that both amuse us and make us sick. I hope you like what we're doing and if the rants get too crazy just check out the beauty of the images. Thanks for giving us a shot and check back for what hopefully will be a fun time. Tom and Justin Kistner

 Well I finally got this thing going today. It's my first attempt at trying to put a blog together so hang with me and I'll sure try to keep it up to date and interesting. Lots going on right now, it's Spring, March Madness (for those who care, I do), the start of Baseball, the start of the concert season with some real good music coming to the Cincinnati  area. I'll have more about these things and probably some interesting rants about life (or the lack thereof). Let's just try to have some fun and see what happens. Later!!

 The above vectored art of Cpl. Alfred Peaces is part of a great story about a group of Native Americans that served their country honorably and got thrown to the side of the road. Type them into your browser for a most interesting story. Navajo code for God Bless America (Diyin God Baahózhó Nihimá Bikéyah Nízhoníye)!

 I'm going to try to get up some more photos today. It's a cool rainy day here and it's hard to get going. I'm not complaing after the crap winter we just got through. The 5th of April is right around the corner and that's a huge day in the Cincinnati area. It's opening day for baseball. The Findlay Market is, I believe, the oldest outdoor market in Ohio and every year there is a parade to celebrate the start of the Reds season. It starts at the market and ends going through the Great American Ballpark, there are always some cool things going on with the parade. Last years grand marshall was former Reds GREAT Frank Robinson and it included a few of the players from the old Negro Lg's and a couple of Tuskegee Airmen. This year Johnny Bench is doing the honors and I think I'll be attending, if you are familiar with this area you'll know what I'm talking about. I'll also be uploading some photos from a Reds game last year with the Chicago White Sox. An important game as it was the Civil Rights Game and featured honorees M. Ali, B. Cosby and H. Aaron. It was Frank Robinson day and the 1st 10,000 fans got a replica jersey with his name and #. There was rumor that Obama would be throwing out the 1st pitch, but the most annoying thing to me is he didn't choose to show up. The 1st black president and he couldn't take the time for an event that was supposed to be statement of unity. Sorry, I'll get off the soap box. Hope you enjoy our hub and please keep in mind anything you see on here is available for purchase as a glossy print and some as waterslide decal and others as a t-shirt. If you're interested just ask, Justin is also available for any type art projects you need. He graduated form art school with a degree in Graphic Design. Comission him to do everything from a painting to a drawing and even color seperations for print ads or t-shirts. He does it all so please don't be shy if you need some help. Peace!!
