thanks rob.

Promotional stuff for my band project

 

The logo featuring our band's initials is a polished version of a design a good friend of mine (and Velvet Doomsday's bass-player) has drafted:

 

great stuff everyone. genteel, hope your exhibition goes well! your stuff is getting better and better I think. antagon, how's that band of yours doing. I hate bands.

here's the last poster I did for a show we have next week. didn't have as much time as i wanted to... oh well.

Things are stalling right now. We haven't produced anything new since I compiled a little demo out of all the jam sessions we had. But we're currently in talks with a guitarist who might join us/help us out a little. We're both still starters you have to know, we're mostly in it for the fun. In that regard we're very much a Punk band. Not the genre, but the way we play - unpolished and still lacking the skills but ambitious and straightforward. But if there's a chance to get better or to have more resources in order to create a richer sound, we'll take it. That's our demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiauNIyANh8

Great poster by the way!

Thanks ATT.

Excellent.
Also the East London photos you have been posting on tumblr lately are fantastic.

Thank you Erik! I am trying to load several years' worth of pictures on Tumblr. Really appreciate you enjoying them.

 

 

so basically, i need to have finished this and the back nude 2 by the end of this month. plus i want a series of the girl - look previous pages with charcoal and color and i m getting excited because i want her so bad and nervous because i havent heard yet back from her bf.
also i need to find my model for a -perfect- portrait. either her or my dad's uncle.


and planning a fun day at the museum on monday
went yesterday but wasnt well prepared
free entrance for unemployed people so yay

 

 

got a sketch book just for this
those are shit but you get the idea.

Holy shit Nefeli!

I was looking forward to the day I would come on here and see your work having improved so much from the last time and that day has come!

Here are some of my latest things

this is sooo awesome! like it really really way too much. well done.

and thank you for those words.
you cant imagine how perfect the timing is. am since last night -again!- in fight with the demons of 'im never gonna be good enough', 'quitting will be my death'. it was more severe i think, because i had a joint. and i dont do joint anymore, fucks up worse my already messed up thinking.

i haven't checked this thread in a while-- got sidetracked, something. i love the light and color in those new versions. why is your color so beautiful?

and those sketches are NOT shit, no wei wu wei.

postscript-

with your love and ease for color-- have you tried your hand at landscapes? i know you're interested in human flesh, and in meeting it at the abstract level, but i'm thinking (one of those suddent flashes more like), with something like a marine landscape you'd have fields of almost pure color to play with and i'd love to see you do that (not that this interests you-- that's just me being selfish). i'm thinking something like hiroshi sugimoto's seascapes, but in color, and with paint, and of course around your island, not his. you ever tried? i wish i had money to commision one!

wow!! all 3!!

finally i can see these

for some reason all of pork's images were showing as question marks in my computer, for the longest time

fantastic!

i like to imagine them as animations...

have you ever made animations?

it's a pain in the ass... but if you had the patience... damn damn damn

it's good to see you back to work!

:)
oh yeah sure, its a thought. it has been suggested to me before actually and in relation to abstract work. and you arent being selfish :)
people liked a lot that painting of that english bar.
my mother still loves landscapes i had done 10 years ago.

anyhoo my model still hasnt arranged a time to do a correct photoshoot.
Plips was soo right about measurements and ankle the photo i was working with, had been taken..
wanna do a series like this with her and/or other faces AND with statues.

 

speaking of models i talked to this woman yesterday who has a drawing group

every week they get together and they have a nude model and they sit around & draw

a group! that is the that is the that.

plips has awesome training

Thanks for the kind words !@#$%! and Nef.

Really dig the picture above.

thank you.

 

 

i do like the starting states of those drawings

 

i love them, the new charcoals! they remind me a little bit (the angle of the face, a bit of the nose, and the lines) of this painting in the cover of an old satie cd i have



cd is in storage so i can't tell who painted it right now-- a frenchie, i'm sure (could it be toulouse-lautrec?)

 

im pretty pleased with the previous one - this is turning out ok too.
so i m sticking to the plan.

Thanks man. I've attempted some animations for a band I'm not sure people on here are familiar with apart from Nefeli and T&B. It got rejected, politely, because apparently the inclusion of some extreme left wing footage wasn't to the taste of the band, who are not interested in politics. I haven't attempted animation ever since, not because of the band, simply not enough time.

This is wonderful.

thank you dear!

 

that's great. should be cover of new six organs.

yes it's hugely time consuming-- too bad your work was rejected but at least you learned something new

still those images in my mind want to MOVE ha ha. probably would make some great video art.

hey, slavo was looking for video in another thread-- maybe he'll pay you to make him some clips (?) (maybe i dream)

 

 

HELL YES

i love those

thank you!

working in parallel - wish me luck- portrait started last night- thinking about starting a 4th as well- been cancelling old works, fitting new canvases on the frames to make new ones- need also to find the courage to try again an abstract on canvas.
