And that really means a lot coming from someone of your caliber, thank you!



Here's a piece I drew by hand and then used a little bit of computer editing to make into more of a mandala and then I blew it up into a poster.. It was originally to be given away but that fell out for some reason and now it sits on the wall of my art studio..

I find it fun to look at.


Here's the original, which some say is cooler than the edited version:

Pretty sure I've posted that in the past, and maybe even the edit, just never a photo of it as a poster.

Frame it! It needs a frame. All paintings do. And it will look cool and professional
 
dig it tantric and interesting choice for a title. how is the blog going? i noticed your other thread about a grammar-nazi; imo i wouldn't change anything, who knows if it would end up interfering with your thought process which would be a terrible loss to anyone who enjoys your writing;like me. you're one of a kind tantric!

I'm putting this on my blog part two, but I need help with this, hit a dead end, having trouble pushing things into the background and front ground, atmospheric perspective is right in some areas and in other parts its fucked.

The only suggestion I have is in the upper right area, with all the red and the head of the dragon... I think the head needs to pop more and the body to recede. When I look at first glance it's all together like 2D. After I look for awhile my brain separates it, but I'd venture a guess that part is what's subconsciously annoying you. Cover up part of the picture so it's in four quadrants and look one quadrant at a time... And it's the upper right quadrant to me that doesn't pop ...

Good work though. I understand -- I did a pencil portrait of my son when he was 3. And it annoyed me as it looked off. Finally I ended up moving the eyes about 1/8" and it was perfect. Annoying to redo ( which is why I prefer paint--slap on another coat versus erase and redraw...)

The one before it-- the one from Norse mythology-- the fighter looks almost like shades of a self portrait ? He favors you in the self portrait you did...
 
I'm agreed on the frame for that piece Laika.


Go spend some cash. That deserves a 200/300 dollar USD frame up.
 
Nah sis* it cost me like 12 bucks to blow up lamely.. I'll frame it for another 10-20usd but aint no one gonna pay 300 hunnert for it.
 
That piece would really have a lot more presence, and power if it were properly framed.

Trust me.

Did this myself at home. It's meant more to be an "arm" tattoo, rather than a tattoo of something else on my arm.



 
Thank you for sharing MajorBong! I dig it, i would think it might be tempting to continue upwards towards the shoulder area.
 
It definitely is tempting, but at the same time I like how on only the forearm it accents the wrist area. I was thinking about having it just closer to my wrists and ankles, which would looker cooler in one way than having it all the way up the arm because they're like action points on the body. I wanna do a similar pattern around my ankles with less colors.

I would probably need someone else to do it too. It's really hard to get at the back of the arm using a tattoo machine.

Hey guys, haven't dropped by in a while. Thought I would share some stuff I've been working on the past year.

This is some of my graphic design/digital imaging that I told "Smoky" I would share:

12072593_10154248642554992_1213822659110079883_n.jpg


This was a "Jerry Uelsmann" inspired image I created. He was a pretty famous photographer known for his surreal work. I photographed the tree that you see, and face that you see in it is me as well as the sillouette walking away.

This was a "self-portrait" that I created. The leaves that you see in this image were photgraphed by me. I then had a couple pictures of me taken in a professional studio, put them in Photoshop as well as my leaf and let my creativity take over.

I hope you enjoy!
