Europe (a picture thread)

I really like yr album cover design, cek, it's gorgeous and serene...

Sorry I spoiled the thread but I couldn't resist showing of Ophelia. :-D

<I>nat's cheating - that was a joint effort 8)</I>

Ah yes, I admit she's *co-designed*.

Kate, I am superjealous of your drawing skills!

Honestly tho, Nath, you did nine months plus of post-production work.

before and after - the cafe in the Glasgow Film Theatre that i just redesigned (on a very tight budget).

tiny photos too!

it's a 30's building so we wanted to give it a kind of cruise liner/ art deco feel without doing a pastiche.

Great banquette tufting, jed!

thanks I DIED, i like yours.

the banquet is actually a bit of a disappointment to me - the buttoning should be deeper but hey, you get what you can afford. also i'm quite pleased that there are actually more seats than there were originally but the place looked absolutely full of chairs before.

Love the flier, Abbott.

Abbott, that flier is awesome. Nice tits!

I DIED, where is your restaurant? Does it exist yet?

Those restaurants are both Washington DC area, one's in permitting right now and the other's in construction. I don't really care for either of those project phases.

the og from way back in the day

What kind of pen did you use on your flyer, Abbot? And is it the same kind as those auto-bio ones you posted awhile ago?

silly

i LOVE that st judes infirmary album

i'm surprised dom earworm hasn't got you to do art for him shakey

I wouldn't say no, but he was, um uncommunicative when we tried to get something together in the past (previous incarnation of the band was slated to be one of earworm's final releases - didn't work out)

(but hey anybody who wants some artwork done point 'em my way, I work for cheap and/or free)

GAH you guys are all fucking awesome. I hade no idea you did (extremely spectacular) arts, Shakey Mo.

Yr mouf painting is incredible (and incredibly creepy) Jeff.

And to answer yr question, PP, it was just with some inky ball point, like a midline-price 12-pack kind you get from office supply stores, and a Sharpie to fill in the blacker fields. Same as comics, yeah. If I want to print or scan them, I usually just photocopy them first, which yields crisp lines & perfectly even black fields w/out scratchy pen/overlapping Sharpie marks.

I didn't get to photocopy that one (it's the original), so it still has sharpie overlap lines. :(

Shakey Mo, I am totally going to be in touch shortly.

In the meantime Shakey, can you say a bit about how you draw your images? Pen and ink + colours in Photoshop? I am curious about the mechanics of it.

Back when I was trying to draw a daily, introducing characters, etc.

TOM, re: blowing up, did you try Live Trace yet? It might do a good job with your line art. See, e.g. http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2007/05/last_year_we_de.html

I've gotta go right now but briefly process is - pencil sketch->lightbox + black old-school rapidograph pen->scan into photoshop->fill in colors

altho sometimes I'll add the colors prior to scanning and kinda work with those in photoshop

(there's also a fair amount of collage work)

can i post my old paintings on here? i'm shameless like that.

please!

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback. Trying to do more of the star wars droid things, something that people recognise. And generally looking at droids and spaceships from other famous movies/tv shows.

I'm dying to do a painting of the red dwarf ship, hard to find a decent image that has the detail though.

Great stuff, Ste. Here's the final portrait from my class, she looks a bit too mean, hair is too flat, etc etc. Definitely want to get more impressionistic in future.

I do have some stuff for sale on Artfinder, mostly drawings: https://www.artfinder.com/tomledger

I like that a lot Ledge, the face is very strong.

i was quite pleased with this recent watercolour:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3ayhpRCYAERtDA.jpg:large

Yeah, I like it.

That dog knows how to live.

Part way through my sci fi theme, going to do more of my own creations. The Tie Bomber is not finished btw

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B5I20CoCIAAZlVp.jpg:large

digging it.

good stuff ste. something about your style reminds me of the simon bisley end of 2000ad art.

Yep, big influence.

Particularly Judgement On Gotham, which was the first time I'd seen his work, and then further on his Doom Patrol covers. So slick and natural.

judgement on gotham was the first time i saw bisley too. got it for xmas and it blew my 11-year-old mind.

I've watched some fascinating interviews with Simon, where he talks about how when he paints it's almost subconscious, and that if he comes out of that trance then the lines he's drawing just lose their power.

Totally on board with that.

Hey Ledge, did you ever get that dip pen you mentioned? Been practising with one myself this week.

A little bit scratchy, probably a cheap nib, but really impressed with the type of natural line it produces. Also wanted to use better ink, not keen on those design pen inks (always say their waterproof but hmm not sure) and my fountain pen (with converter-cartridge) just struggled to get the ink flowing and always clogged up.

ugh
they're

No, I should do. Guess I'm wary of accumulating yet another medium that I may end up not using enough and feeling guilty about but hey why break the habit of a lifetime.

first show in a loooooooong time
