Now that I look at it I forgot to make the line near the blood darker. Damn, well I'm not going to we photograph it. Oh, and I never said I was talented.
 
nice stuff. certainly an eclectic mix of deviance and wonderfulness for all! :D

here's something my current state of delusion/insomnia is allowing my boundaries to keep in it's constraints hehehe.

I'd actually love to see your take on a drug related piece ryanlaughlin. It think it would be interesting and powerful.

how so? this last one was done whilst on acid. :D

i actually just updated it as i went along. it was kind of a free for all stream of consciousness type of drawing. its not my favorite thing, but it's not my least favorite. it gives a slight view into my inability to stay focused on something for more than a couple minutes though. hence the colors and the added ink in spots that were well taken care of minus the spaces that had plenty left to be divulged in. like i said, it's not my favorite, but i certainly don't dislike it. more than drawing the things, its watching it be constructed while on drugs haha. it's kind of like watching my own animated movie play out on paper, in one spot. :D

such cool stuff here!!!

my sister wanted a picture of her and her baby for her birthday (we're twins) drawn by me. so i drew it with prismacolor markers. this is the day after her baby was born, but he's about a year and a half years old now and fucking ADORABLE!!!

i love those prismacolor grays!!! haven't used them since high school....mine all dried up from using them too much...and they are seriously expensive...

you definatly have a serious eye for the graphic arts....such nice work!
 
thank you. :)

that's the main problem i have with them also in regards to them drying out. just the other day, i was doing a drawing using the 30% and it was so dried up... it was a sunday and i drove all over town to try to find a new 30% gray. no arts or crafts stores are open around here so i drove a half hour (cause when i get in a groove on a piece i want to churn it out quickly) i ended up finding every shade from 90% to 40% but no 30%. i had to wait til the next day until i could find one... and even then... only one.

i LOVE those markers, but i wish they lasted longer and i wish they were more accessible around here.
 
here are some mixed media/ graphics projects i have done....

ryan-

most folks would look at that piece and think it was an illustrator project....it's just amazing that you do it all by hand.....

my colored prismacolor pencils have been sitting untouched for over a year....i just don't seem to have the inspiration or the time anymore......but i really miss making art :(
 
one more....a polaroid/photoshop experiment....

thank you! seriously. i just lean more towards the graphic arts/graphic design stuff because most of the art that i'm into tends to stray that way, it's become something that i try to emulate, but i've got a good bit of learning to do until i really get the style i want. haha.

your stuff is really good, btw. i don't know why, but that one in the middle on the first post REALLY interests me. it's really unique and well constructed.
 
that's funny that you like the center piece...it was one of my very first graphics projects.....it an old photo of myself that i added a bunch of lighting affects to....

it's always good to challenge yourself in the way you do by welcoming the learning process....you are already quite talented....who know what fantastic art you may create in the future! 8o

I was more saying drugthemed, such as displaying the "hell of heroin" or addiction. I guess I have a love for really dark work. I feel it has the power to move people or cause them to think in ways that they normally wouldn't. I'm just not talented enough to realize such works.
 
^^ i get what you're saying now. i don't know that i've ever done something specifically displaying such things, but rather interactive whilst on such things haha. maybe i can come up with something cool in the future. :)

i'm with you alicat! some of my favorite things i've done have been unorthodox things i've never worked with before. like my first time i tried painting (it may have been mediocre at best, but i still really like it and am attached to it). i think branching out is awesome because a.) you get to try something new and b.) even if it's shitty (in your own opinion) it's still potentially different enough to warrant a second look on many occasions.

i like learning new things cause at the very least, i can apply one new thing i've learned to a drawing compiled of all the things the last one had, but the one new trick may add all the more flare i need to make it worth working with or to make it that much more interesting. :)

so true....the more we apply our hands to the page/canvas, the more we learn....

the very definition of art is in what the viewer sees or feels......it is not how good you can draw or paint really....so, when we look back on our work, we will see with fresh eyes and remember the process we used, not just the final work....it is also true that old works can be revamped and made into whole new pieces....

man, i should really get back at it.....i have not installed any illustration software on my new computer...i think that might push me to start creating again....
 
^ couldn't agree more. art is a constant process. i like it because it keeps me busy and it keeps me learning. it's kind of like learning a new language, you'll always pick up more slang as you immerse yourself more and more.

do it up dude. get yourself back into it. sometimes i just need that little push to get myself going again. i'll go months without drawing or anything sometimes and it makes me mad because i get myself out of such a mood that i can't put shit together if i even wanted to. make yourself want to do it more often and you'll constantly notice an improvement. that's what i've been doing. even if nobody else agrees... i see the improvements i've made in some of the stuff i've done or in the diversity i've adapted to... i couldn't be happier. :)

I liked the work that PR Brown did for the heroin diaries, and I just thought that yours had a look that was similar.
