Share your artwork v. BL's got talent

Haven't been doing as much art as I would like recently, however I did set out to create something based on a circular point in the middle of a page. Ended up with this:

And here's a flier I designed, was given the challenge of creating a flier for a reasonably big event without ever having made a flier before! Talk about pressure!

The actual flier is supposed to be printed and cut, so that it's triangular like the band's logo.

You know how in the music thread they are putting together an album?

We should do a book or something - everyone gets 1 page or 1 spread or something, submit the work you most want to have published, (I'm sure plenty of people besides myself rock at InDesign, but I could design the book) and then, people can order the book through amazon/ lulu/ some other self-publisher and the money goes to benefit Bluelight perhaps?

^ That sounds pretty cool, actually. Count me in.

Also... I've been focused more on photography than anything lately. Here's a few shots I've snapped at some local events.

i'd definitely order a book full of bluelighter art. there's some serious talent on this board

 

[justsomeguy]

undead, that last one looks very old-timey with the hat and throwback uniforms :D

anyways, seems like i'm doing one of these ipad drawings about every other day:

enter the temple walls.

It looks like mario on crack. I like it.

anyone else? i've already published 2 books, but it's not like I'm going to tell a bunch of drug addicts my real name so I get arrested for something I posted on here 2 years ago, just suffice to say they look good. (nor do i expect anyone to tell me their real name, for all you know I could be an LEO)

Do any of the mods/ admins have any idea how donations work with bluelight? If we self-published a book of Bl'ers art, it could be anonymous, not require any up-front investment (except of artwork), and could be ordered on Amazon easily.

^ Excellent Idea muvolution.

(Assuming we'd donate a % of the profits)
This would inspire people to place donations, for they would also be getting something meaningful in return.

Great idea! I know we did something similar as a fundraiser in The Lounge recently (it was a BLer calendar of girls), and chrissy got it all up and running. Perhaps shoot her a message?

Also - Ryan those photos are really really good man, you have some serious talent! I could see those images being right at home in an awesome street magazine, or even Rolling Stone.

I have been loving taking snaps of pretty things lately. My most recent one:

 

[ektamine]

^ Beautiful.

Reminds me of a Tesla Coil.

 

[drugfukkdrockstar]

Awesome! :D And thank you

 

[muvolution]

I don't see why we wouldn't donate 100% of profits. As it is, noone would get more than a few cents per copy in royalties if they were always split 100+ ways.

I am going to go ahead and PM some people, but if anyone is a mod or admin, contact me and let me know how we could make this work. Also, if people want to show interest, you could PM me with your e-mail and a link to the artwork you would like to submit.

probably best to do categories:
Drawing and painting
Street Art
Photography
3D and sculpture
Crafts

alot of the photographs/ documentation is already good enough, but alot of the stuff in the realm of 3-dimensional/ craft art needs to be re-shot in a manner consistent with the documentation of professional artwork.

some progress shots of a large project

[ektamine]

Very cool – and the size is impressive. It will make a wonderful wall piece when you're done, if thats what you plan to do with it.
You have a unique style my friend. Reminds of mayan artists playing super mario bros or something... beauty!

^ This is a really great piece. It does a stunning job a conveying to me a certain style. It makes me think of a lot of girls I know actually, the eyes especially.

Thank you! I definitely have room for improvement, but I'm pretty happy with my progression.

jsg... I love the shit out of that piece. And I'm seconding what was said about the size being impressive (that's what she said).

 

[justsomeguy]

I'm not convinced about the colors...more and more i just want to colloborate with people and have them color in my drawings.

If anyone would be up for that let me know and i'll hook it up with some higher res files for pshop /printing and coloring

 

[nekointheclouds]

JSG, send some my way, I'll ink em with india inks!

Reminds me of Keith Haring.
