Great work everyone!
So I am only a few days away before the launch of my first exhibition. I am shitting my self but excited at the same time. I have no idea what to expect, it feels like I am about to put my personal journal on public display. I will have a friend take pictures of the day so I can share the moment with you guys. |
|
you're starting to annoy me with your talent.
please never stop drawing/painting/etc. never. |

thank you for your words. |
An old friend who is a composer did a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the first release of an album of just his music (he has been recorded many times by various ensembles and orchestras, but never had a solo record), and one of the "prizes" was to have the thing on vinyl with original artwork by three different artists. I did ten covers. Here are some covers and the backs

you've made me curious-- what is it you're going for? i.e., "close to" what? tell tell tell! (only if you want, of course). |
|
oh, i understood that you were close to your goal!
ha ha if you're far from where you want to get then you definitely can't give up though :P |

Hey folks! Super work in here!
So the exhibition went well, it was a pretty decent turn out and all the bands that played were rad. I will put up some pics of it when my friend sends them to me. I managed to sell one painting on the night that was priced at $650 and just yesterday I sold another! woo Here are some things I have done over the last few days. ![]() ![]() |
A new experimental track from my current band project.

@ AA - i don't know if i'm talking out of my ass here but i like the last one you posted a lot for the color. but my favorite one so far is the triptych (or what appears as one) because of the juxtaposition of the color patterns & marks & scrawls with the very stately & symmetrical proportions of those thirds-- with lines that are also scratched/carved into the panels.
@ Nefeli - "am i losing my focus?" is exactly the right kind of question to be asking when you care about your work, no? as for the answer i don't know if you are, all i can say from where i am is how much your work has improved in the past year, how much more you're painting, and how much more dedicated you appear. i wish you never apologized. if working more means losing focus, then great! (but i don't know if you're actually losing focus-- maybe it's just a series of strategic retreats before you attack again). == speaking of losing focus, i made my first yogurt ever last night/this morning. came out great after some accidents. plus baked a loaf of fresh bread (haven't had an oven for over a year). i should start posting pictures here ha ha ha. i'm serious! i actually i think i will next time. the bread was beautiful and so we ate it-- with the thick yogurt, and honey, and pomegranate grains. ephemeral art. eat your yellowed leaves, andy goldsworthy! for tomorrow i'll try making a bread with the leftover whey. will photograph the sucker if i can remember. |

thank you for your words and taking the time to write them. i dont talk with anyone about all that and i use this place to take it out. saying that you see improvement, well thats what mostly i care about. thanks again. :) making your own food is most fulfilling! good for you. Antagon, count rep you in previous page so.. i like the one with the fence a lot. the b&w is cool too, but the other creates even more feelings. |

Thanks dude. These kind words mean a lot to me, I enjoy that you like them the way you do. I really struggle to talk about my art so its nice when someone takes the time to express their own ideas about it. Here is one i completed today ![]() I think I will try evolve this idea further on the next batch |
|
|
thats a nice idea..thank you. :)
--- hehe the black spots on the right of the portrait...are from my robe after been messed up with the oils.. ;) |

cant rep you either..
thank you so much. really, means a lot. |
Great stuff as expected, guys. Nefeli's continuous voyage into striking beauty is unstoppable by now. Good times.
Antagon - Your illustrations always make me smile in a very good way. Rob's foray into LP cover design was excellent SYG documentation , and it's nice to see ALIEN ANAL doing well with his exhibition. I discovered Plips' animations too via a link he posted on another thread. Loved them. Don't let this thread die. |

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to PLips again. These are pretty damn sweet. Dig them a lot! |
happy as a clam you make me!
and antagon's art, what death says..its the sweetest darkness possible. |
![]() *struggling, no really struggling, this week with nudes with acrylics on paper. not really my medium. but trying to make it. yesterday tried to change coz it isnt working the way i work it. im ok today with how the arm looks. and i see now, it will help with oils as well. later post whole thing -if it comes out right. ![]() ![]() not pleased. starting new one today. ![]() lalalala argh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5D1-VlrWcA |
that's a great song (not sure this version is the best one-- there's cover i really like but i can't remember who does it)
and you might complain all you want, but each painting here gets better. i can see it. are those still from photographs or did you find a live model? ps- SEU JORGE! |
thank you. i get frustrated partly because the means dont help. acrylics on paper is bit..meh not working very well. for example watercolors or pastels would be better.
was listening to the song at the time and this version.. well, felt appropriate for self sarcasm reasons. and the series is amazing. very nice the version you posted! |
he does a great version of space oddity also
Quote:
so why not? i love oil pastels (regular pastels not so much). get a toothy paper and start scratchin'! i love the color papers best (blacks, greys, earth tones) ![]() haven't seen that series or heard about it. maybe i'll check it out and will have to blame you for it ha ha ha. |
