Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work. When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed. Many interesting effects can be achieved by using mixed media. Often, found objects are used in conjunction with traditional artist media, such as paints and graphite, to express a meaning in the everyday life. In this manner, many different elements of art become more flexible than with traditional artist media. A guy in his mid-30ies, former snowboard professional. In all the subcultures that he's involved with, age is not the important thing anymore, and the group of people he skates with, snowboards with, or works on art projects are anything from 10 to 70. It’s like-minded people, and probably has to do with the common goal of having fun. The everyday passion is still there: he broke his hand last summer for the first time in 25years of skateboarding , still had to paint a 22ft tall character sculpture 3 days later for the opening of the self-built concrete skatebowl! ;)
