sweetspot - i have about 4 years of art (and philosophy) at a small liberal arts college, and then another 2 at the art institute of chicago. i've been drawing for longer, on and off most of my life. in the next few years i hope to get an MFA.

eK wow! I really really like this, you should keep makin' pictures boy.

There's a whole lot of work in here that would make wicked t-shirts, I'm thinkin eK, justsomeguy, celeo and ryanl, but i know there's more and I'm not remembering names. You guys should all stick at it, and have you thought asbout selling to/working for fashion labels or making your own?
 
JSG, that second drawing (the one with the doorway and the hall) is my favorite of those for some reason. you have an uncanny ability to keep it simple, but your stuff still has a ton of depth. all your white space seems to have it's place on the paper.

and thanks midnightbaby! i've actually thought about creating my own designs for shirts and shit, but as far as seriously considering working for a fashion label or anything, it's not something i've put much thought into up to this point. i'll probably consider it after i go to school, but right now i'm just kind of doing my thing for my own personal benefit. eventually... if i can make money in some field related to art... i wouldn't be opposed. :D

ryan, your stuff is excellent. if you had some of these in sticker form, i daresay i would slap one on my snowboard :)

I suggested the t-shirt thang' a few pages ago, from memory.

A few of my friends actually sell items on Etsy [just artworks, hand-made items etc] and others use Red Bubble who can put your works onto items such a t-shirts, stickers, mugs, the list goes on. It's awesome and easy.

Seriously, lookit! :D
 
^^ justsomeguy - before I even saw other peoples posts I was going to say I'd be so happy to frame that picture of the hallway and have it hang it on my wall. Do you exhibit you sketches anywhere yet? If not, have you plans to one day? Sorry for all the questions but your talent is so glaringly obvious. I wish I was a private art investor - what a job.

And I forgot to say, I've seen your picture in other threads and I can't really describe what I mean, but to me you kind of almost look like one of your drawings, especailly the one with your hair and your v cool hat.
 
Thanks for the nod MidnightBaby :)


So here's one I did in one sitting. I started it at 12 midnight and just got done with it now at 8am.

Pencil
Colored Pencil
Sharpie Markers
Weed Grinder
Compact Disc
Popsicle Stick

Those were the tools of the trade for the night.

thanks, MB.
my good friend and i actually drew heaps of stuff up and got a few shirts made by a guy we know. id take a photo of the shirts but my camera is screwed :(
 
nice work coelophosys... (i'll never get it right) good use of color, different than your normal stuff. have you been thinking outside of the box??? =D

here's one i'm debating adding to, but it's signed and said and done so i don't know if i want to. hah. either way, this is the "finished" product:

oh and thanks alasdair! this one was done partially in lieu of your "sticker" comment, i thought this would be an interesting graphic on your snowboard. haha.
 
Some recent work. I've got a few paintings underway, but nothing complete yet. I'm such a slooooooooooow painter.:\ These are all monotypes. I've been really getting into this process lately. Unlike other printing processes, monotypes are all one-of prints. You can pull a 'ghost' after the initial print, but generally speaking, it's never as good as the first one. I think that is a nice compliment to working with the human form (in distorted states). Sorry for the crappy quality pictures, the scanned images were even worse.

revelation or liberation?

Its a lot more interesting and detailed in person.. You can't see the gloss paint and the billion layers that I used. It doesnt look overworked in person, I'll just say that.

looks great. I would love to touch it, I find that type of art has amazing texture, which is such an under appreciated sense in the art world.

It's been a while since I've contributed to this thread, but it's also been a while since I've been able to actually finish something.
