redrum Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 a friend of mine just fininshed this, tell me guys what you think... What's it titled? I definitely see religious overtones. It almost has a tromp l'oeil effect. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Great thread! Diana-loura and Peep Solero, very nice pictures! You are both very talented. I like a lot of different styles. I used to draw and paint a lot, but I kinda got tired of doing it after I went to art school for three years. Today I prefer taking photos and "paint" with my guitar.. But I still love to go and watch art at galleries and museums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 One of my favourites is Hans Arnold. He has made a lot of illustrations for books and magazines, and also artwork for record covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarplum Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I like this one Was it inspired by "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy? Your other work is great too. I love the drawing of Jimmy:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratch-board of my sister and I from high school Painting from high school. I never really finished it.. Drawing from high school Some crazy thing my art teacher made me do in high school, haha.

Footsteps of Dawn Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Awesome stuff, guys! That first Hans Arnold picture reminds me of Edward Gorey, whom I always got a kick out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragster Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 a friend of mine just fininshed this, tell me guys what you think... Sorry for the belated reply!! I like this verry much...I guess it appeals to my freaky psychedelic mind, but it's fantastic. Has your friend tried exhibiting it??! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I'm contemplating whether or not it would be wise to go to art school.. Would you mind sharing a little more about your experience? Some pros and cons? I don't want to end up going and have it crush my passion I'd say while I was studying it was all great. I got to try out a lot of different techniques and all students inspired eachother. It's a good way to learn what your strength and weaknesses is and improve. I think a great artist knows how to command different styles and you can learn them attending art school. That way you'll find your own style as well. Unfortunatly I lost my interest right after I graduated. I think it was because I lived with art 24 / 7, but it can't be the only reason. I suppose the process making pictures is kinda hard on me, it is a lot of angst. It's not until the end of the process, when I'm finishing a painting I feel relief and can be happy about it. I know I will paint again, but probably not in the same extent I used to do. I think if you feel art is your biggest passion, you shouldn't hesitate attending art school. BTW, I love your pictures!!!

Thanks for the reply I'll keep that in mind. Another reason I am feeling the need to go is because I'd like to be around other artistic minds like myself. I think it would be good for me to be in that sort of environment, while improving my technique. I guess I feel like I would have more potential to integrate myself into some sort of artistic/creative 'career' if I were in that sort of place, whereas right now I really don't know where my art is going, keeping it all to myself for the most part. And thanks for the comment about my work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redrum Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Scratch-board of my sister and I from high school Scratchboard is my favorite. Yours also looks like a high contrast photo. Nice work. I did one that I called 'Desert Light' (5x7) and even though it was small it took about 3 months because I did a lot of stippling. It got a blue ribbon at the fair too. A while back I did a 'poster' of a fictitious guitar concert featuring 'The Maestro' Andres Segovia and 'The Prodigy' Ida Presti. Both were great classical guitar players. I sold a copy to a girl in Australia. I've been mulling around more ideas in my head for another poster featuring guitarist Francisco Tarrega (He died in 1909).

Sugarplum Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I like the subject of the scratchboard above. Thank you That's my older sister on the left, and me on the right. I enlarged it from a tiny picture that was taken in a photo booth at our county fair when I was about sixteen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldoc Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ya'll ever thought about posting some of you're work on ebay? I see alot of talent here and that would be a very good, cheap venue for making some extra income. Seriously this is some good art. I once dated a girl that had alot of talent in drawing and painting and tried to get her to rent a space down in the French Quarter to sell some of her art. She never would do it Just Do It!
