uh, no, i'm not one of the ''bl owners'', lol

I was simply trying to get more out of you than just pictures. It's nice to know a little bg info: what the work posted here was created for, maybe something about the artist's background, medium/programs used, etc. Something a little more personal than a post that consists of a picture and a picture alone.

i don't know why i did this

 

[pennywise]

I finished the tentacled martian eye-monster. I think he looks like a pretty dapper fellow.

 

[poopie]

he looks like the martians from "the simpsons".
anything from "the simpsons" is good.

 

[spork]

^I was thinking more "Futurama." Both are awesome though.

Nice work, penny. Can't wait to see more of your on hold work!

 

[undead]

Penny that sketch is amazing. Have you ever thought about trying tattooing as a hobby/career? You'd be a good candidate, your style is perfect for it.

 

[Live&Learn]

TOY! haha your amazing man, that is out of this world. I wish I could paint like that. How long have you been doing that? Its perfect.

Thanks ryan.

I actually really like your piece here. I think it's probably my favorite of yours of the ones I have seen so far. Your abstract style works really well as text ornamentation. I think some of your designs would work really well on clothing...especially in making logos and stuff like the one quoted above.

I'm not saying that just because you commented on my piece. While I think it's great that you liked it, I really value honesty in people's comments about my art and others art in this forum. I wouldn't say something if I didn't totally believe it to be true, regardless of what anyone said about my work. I think everyone who has posted in this thread can appreciate that.

It's so irritating when people just give you a cursory "that's nice." I think anyone who is an artist has experienced that frustration. We'd rather hear an honest criticism than empty praise or bland patronization. Am I wrong about this?

Anyway...I digress. The point is that I really dig this piece of work, in all honesty. I think that it's because it's a little bit more focused than some of your other work. While you have a crazy awesome style and clearly have good technique, I sometimes find it hard to focus on some of your work. I think that this piece works especially well because it has the text to ground it, to anchor it. It mixes the abstraction that is your specialty with something to solidify focus, to make the work more understandable. I get a sense of this as an expression of yourself through your work, as if it's sprouting or growing out of your name. lol I hope I'm not coming off as pretentious or over-analytic...I'm just trying to explain why I like it.

Finally, at the risk of turning this into one of my patented "tl;dr" posts. I just wanted to thank you for your contributions to the arts content of this forum, in this thread and elsewhere. I have been happy to see this thread getting some activity, and the art-minded people of BL showing up and contributing. That goes for not just ryan, but all of you who have been contributing to this thread and other arts threads. I won't even try to start a list for fear of forgetting someone, so I just want to give a general thumbs up and thanks to all of you who have been contributing to our arts content. Thanks, and keep up the awesome work! :D

^ wow! thanks a ton for that pennywise! i absolutely agree with you on everything you said though. empty praise is as bad as it gets sometimes cause you don't know if the person is seriously not into it or what, but a simple "its nice" usually implies they couldnt care less. which is fine if that's the case, but if it is, then yes a simple... "it's not really my thing" would be better than a "it's nice."

that said, i don't mind the over analysis one bit because i tend to do the same with other people's stuff and i often tend to do it while i'm putting together some of my stuff so if you're over analyzing something i did, chances are you're finding the core of what drove that piece. :D

anyways though, i agree and it's great to see this thread continue on as it has! i'll try to keep posting more, i may post some oldies though that i've done cause it's been so long a ton of people havent seen them and just because i'm curious what some people may think of them nowadays... i may get the itch. :D
