Share your artwork v. BL's got talent

I use to make a fine watercolor paint using oxidized blood, glycerin, gum arabic, and humecant- turns into this pretty brownish color.
 
So, I finally finished the cover to this vinyl my friend is coming out with. I had posted the full original image previously (one with the cliff) but I had to change the face on the cave, so I did three different versions. The first one I already posted on my blog, so I apologize if it seems obnoxious to repost it, but it's kind of cool to see the sequence..

number one.

Wow, HG, those are both gorgeous but the grace and feeling in the first one is just amazing. Got any more to share?<3

Since I haven't shared on here in a while I will just post an older one that I made for Caleb (title:Where My Son Lives). This was done on location at a beach in Pescadero when the sun was sinking behind the fog bank. I am slowly inching my way towards wanting to paint again but it is still not there. Looking at all of the work in this thread is inspiring, though, so who knows? Maybe soon.:\

Thats really beautiful herby! I especially love the reflecting light on the waves. What medium is that? Im gonna guess its oils on canvas, but honestly im really terrible at canvas paintings. I dont do well acrylic paints unless its mural scale, and i just plain suck at oils. I miss your son every day on bluelight, but i cant tell you what a wonderful gift to have you join us after he passed away. Your son changed my life.

I just finished this Sumi-e ink drawing of a Lotus Blossom for our very own Bomboclat! Its do

I have been wanting to post this for a while.

Its a giant nail! You guys should have seen how big the guy was that was carrying this thing.

Also, one of my cooler sculptural projects I have ever done. A bike rack.

Z__can't wait--your sketchbooks are inspiring.

muv, I love the bike rack! Where is that? And is the nail cast aluminum?
 
The bike rack is in nola, but I just got a comission to do another similar one.

And I can't claim the nail as mine, because it is part of a piece we (the studio I work at) built over 4000 nails for. Its just really fun. Oh and it is steel. Every tip is welded up seperately, chased, tumbled, and forged to give it a realistic finish.

I was not doing as much art as I wanted for a while, but now making other artists work come to life I have been doing a lot more of my own.
 
Woah, Mu that is awesome. Sculpture always impresses me, there's this really great artist I saw at the MOMA a few years back, I wish I could remember the name, but your work reminds me of his.

Anyway here are some new sketchbook pages, ignore the cracked out raging writing please:








And here is some "cartoony" illustrations, the first one is actually my current avatar, though I'm about to change it to an image from the Melisende Psalter:







And finally, I found this old drawing I did from a while back when I had beef with Levi's ad campaign's:

 
Man oh man, such talent going on in this last page since the last time I've visited this thread.
Keep up the good work everybody :)
Good to see you in here herby <3
 
Znegative, you blow me away!

@Neko, thanks for the Caleb words.<3 The artwork is pastel on sanded paper. The sandpaper changes the whole medium and makes it much more like a painting. In fact pastel artists call themselves painters even though there is no brush.

holy shit that's beautiful!
 
I have been thinking of getting an ornate piece of bone or shell and trying to carve my own caveman style fishooks. or maybe try knapping a spear head or something. still kicking it around but I don't want to do it with bought material I would enjoy it more if I found or harvasted the bone myself. for the spearhead, there isn't many rocks around here that lend themselves well to knapping but i'll keep looking.
 
Zneg, incredible stuff my man!

Neko, you know Ive always loved your art and the lotus is no exception. Was awesome seeing it in person, along with the mural in the hotel! :D
 
Some of the posts on here are incredible! I should really start painting again...I haven't in years. In any case, a lot of these make any of my pieces look damn silly in comparison.

Anyway, here's something I painted back in high school, with my piece of shit camera washing out the colors... and please ignore the odd maroon box, I was just blocking out my full name.
