Do any of your dental pieces have any feature that is included solely for it's artistic merit, or even primarily for it's artistic merit? As such, there is no creative impulse in such work, which is, in my estimation, the central element of anything "artistic".

Form over function?

I'm not trying to belittle your skill or craftsmanship, but ultimately your goal isn't any pure standard of artistic expression, but rather to see how closely you can replicate something that is found naturally.

So then photorealistic paintings are not art either? They're just replicating something that is found naturally. And to a lesser extent than Mr. St. Clare's work for that matter, since they're just images. Or are they art because they serve no practical purpose other than being an image?

[/devil's advocate]

I think that the line between art and craft is much blurrier than people generally think. I would say that Busty's caps are the work of a world-class artisan-- whether or not that constitutes art is perhaps up for debate. Maybe if he made some freaky deformed, interlocking, or fantasy caps it would be more clear-cut, but then that gets back into the 'is photorealistic art, art?' debate.

I'm picturing Tetris teeth, and thinking that that would be art. But is it only because it is unusual or impractical? I'm not sure.

Oh, ryan-- I love that painting!
 
Busty St Clare & n3ophy7e thanks for the kind words, they inspire me for sure. I've only been drawing since around March of this year. I feel as though I'm improving but also do have a ways to go.
Here's one, it's not my best, but it's my most recent.

I love it I love it I love it!

I'm actually working on something quite similar to this right now. The whole different boxes of colors/patters with trees in them almost like different windows thing. I really like your choices of color here. Excellent stuff! It could easily be sold.
 
thank you thank you thank you!!! :D

the colors were for the most part already decided before i painted it, i had the girl it was for tell me (as closely as possible) what colors her living room were and i just tried to make something "pretty" that would flow well with the room. the thing i thought was fun though was that it's all spray paint, but in addition to the paint i used a drinking straw, a plastic syringe (or ink refiller thing... whatever you call it), a sponge, a couple of different brushes and a stencil i made (for the birds... not like the brittish chicks though... the actual birds). so it was semi experimental, but it worked out alright... i want to do another one now! you'll have to post up yours when you're done because i dig that style for some reason (the windows and what not) i just think it looks so cool, i don't know what it is about it haha. we must have pretty similar tastes in art though!

and btw, thank you also to EK, dave, and slushy muddy water! i appreciate the compliments!

coelyphysis (i didn't spell that right did i? hehe) your pieces are always entrancing, how long do you spend on one of them if you don't mind my asking? you said you've only been doin it since about march??? you've got a good handle on things man, and i look forward to seeing your work evolve as time goes on!

Thanks :) I'd say on average one will take me around 4-6 hours. I generally like to do them in one sitting because if I don't there's a good chance I'll never go back to it to finish and just wind up starting a new one. If I do one while I'm on some L it can get done in as quick as 3 hours. But yeah, it's been since about March, possibly late February. Last year I had my laptop crash on me and I lost documents and documents of writing. I felt extremely uninspired to continue writing after that. Then one day I just began doodling.

I appreciate you saying I have a good handle on things. It's exciting to see how my style has slowly but surely improved and evolved over the time spent so far. I don't feel like I'll ever stop because I'm always going to be wanting to see the transformation progress. Art has never been a big thing I was into. I don't have any favorite artists or influences. I do get inspired by Sir Laughlin pieces whenever I see them though.

& [eK] - Thank you :)
 
^ kiss ass!

:D haha just kidding! thank you though! i can relate about what you said about trying to do it in one sitting... i have so many pieces i've done that i REALLY like... but it's only about half finished and probably will be forever. it's a pain in the ass, but so is life. but yeah man, you're definitely housing some talent and you can see minor improvements from piece to piece. the coolest thing throughout the evolution of your own artwork (IMO) is picking up on the little things that make something ordinary look extraordinary. i kind of pick up one trick at a time, then try to fuse the many i've learned over time into one drawing... and by the end of the drawing... it either looks too busy, or it's got just the right mix, the key i think is to figure out the comfortable medium where you're balancing everything just right and it gives you more to think about than it does to look at. with my stuff anyways.

keep posting your stuff though man! and you should try other styles too just to broaden your range, you'll find it will help the learning process even more. branch out and be daring. your stuff's keen as it is, but throw some abnormalities in it sometimes just to give yourself something to grow on outside your normal style. even if it's just to practice. that's what i do often and sometimes things work sometimes they don't... but you can bet you'll have more ideas running through the brain.
