So, like the favourite painters thread, but this time works of art by your good selves. I'm not posting any of my pictures 'til some other people post their's.

jel -- (jel), Saturday, 14 December 2002 16:43 (10 years ago) Permalink

but that's the same as the favourite artist thread?

I post this also 'cause i want to see your work, jel.

erik, Saturday, 14 December 2002 16:53 (10 years ago) Permalink

okay, this is a bit of a very recent painting (I am pleased with the colours on this one):

jel -- (jel), Saturday, 14 December 2002 16:57 (10 years ago) Permalink

Cool! That picture makes me happy.

Is erik's picture really as perverted as I think it is?

Curtis Stephens, Saturday, 14 December 2002 17:54 (10 years ago) Permalink

haha i think it is, Curtis!
jel i like your painting!

There is a great old Hokusai print of an octopus raping a woman - it was on show at the British Museum a while back. It didn't look quite like this, but I'm a real fan of Erik's art now. If I still edited and published comics I'd be trying to get work from you, Erik!

Jel, that is tremendous! Is it in oils? What size? Are you familiar with Fiona Rae, who I mentioned as a favourite on the painters thread?I thought of her because this reminds me a littel of the last new work of hers I went to see, in a tiny show in 2001.

Here's a painting I did. It's a lot bigger in person. I painted on the box that carried the six foot sub to my super bowl party a few years ago.

Erik's and Jel's are great! Can we see more?

A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 14 December 2002 19:10 (10 years ago) Permalink

I've never done this HTML thingy, eek.

it's a guy in Morocco, in the place they filmed bits of Lawrence of Arabia. I cheated because I was taking a photograph then copied it. With a bereber scarf tied around my neck like a cravat the locals were asking me if I was a film director. I was well chuffed.

And how come my pic doesn't load: is it because of Geocities or just stoopid moi?

here's a piece that's up now in Los Angeles. It's a Chromira print on photographic paper (i.e. there's jagged edges as from a traditional press or even ink-jet). It's about 6' x 3'. Most people ask me if it's acrylic! (I tell them that yes, I have an army of assistants and they're good with rulers).

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 15 December 2002 01:10 (10 years ago) Permalink

(rather there's no jagged edges - and the matte finish makes it rather, uh, creamy)

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Sunday, 15 December 2002 01:12 (10 years ago) Permalink

also, the other work on this thread is fantastic!

ta.

my first one is quite nicer in reality [IMHO] since it has a level of textures/texture of levels to it.

this is one I did. and never went back to. and it has just hung for...well...over two years now, I suppose. I had actually forgotten it was still there. I like it well enough. but I may try to fix it someday.

RJG (RJG), Sunday, 15 December 2002 12:33 (10 years ago) Permalink

Cool pics y'all!!! And thanks alot for the kind words! :)

I have a load of pictures here: http://www.angelfire.com/wy/bby2k/piclinks.html I must update it!

Martin: thanks!, it's acrylic, card and glass paint outliner (a sort of print technique, I trace round magazine pics and transfer them to canvas). That scan is about actual size, the rest of the painting, I'm not so pleased with, scanning is good coz you can cut out the bad bits! Must check out Fiona Rae!!!

jel -- (jel), Sunday, 15 December 2002 12:44 (10 years ago) Permalink

the spooky kitty is kind of timeless, so...

Kim (Kim), Sunday, 15 December 2002 16:29 (10 years ago) Permalink

This is breathtaking! I can't believe how much artistic talent there is on ILE!

Jel, your others (thanks for the link) don't really remind me of Rae, so you might not see yourself in her work at all - and it is her most recent work I mean, so I don't know how much of that is on the web, say.

Me too.

I took a 2-D art class in college. When I tried to do a charcoal sketch of my roommate she almost screamed and was like, "Arghh! You made me look like an old lady!" Looking back at that pic, it is pretty funny. I was horrible. But it was fun having black charcoal on me all the time cuz it made me feel artsy.

Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 18 December 2002 14:34 (10 years ago) Permalink

you are all very talented, i am most impressed. i feel very small now. and, yes i am also very jealous.

and i want the spooky cat, he/she is gorgeous.

Wow, you're all incredibly talented. RJG, I kind of like the unfinished one just like it is right now- it looks really neat.

I'm terrible at painting, but every so often I manage to get some photographs that aren't too bad. This one is one of the outer walls of Seattle's EMP: http://artsyfartsy.undef.com/image/1280

Thanks for the comments. Yes I would call myself an artist (actually I call myself a painter) but unfortunately can't say it's my primary job--I work at a museum. The police car (and a few others) will be in a show in Oakland at the end of the month. I'll engage in more shameless self-promotion as the month goes on.

Fortuitous thread revive. I have this drawing I've been working on on and off for over 3 and a half years, and just this evening I've decided I've had enough of it and that the more I add to it the worse it looks.
I also scanned it this evening too.
Sorry its so big (this is slightly below its actual size of 8.5 X 11 inches) but you can't really shrink it without it looking like shit.

The only thing to mention w/r/t this particular thread is that I don't consider this art because its not.

EDB, Saturday, 2 October 2010 02:26 (2 years ago) Permalink


Kerm, Saturday, 2 October 2010 02:40 (2 years ago) Permalink

EDB - will it make you mad if I say I think it's art? Also, that it's really good? I love the way it sort of looks like an amazingly detailed city map...like there's sort of a 'center of town with a river' going on in the center (in my imagination)...it's cool. Lots of painstaking work there, don't shortchange yourself on taking some credit for it.

VegemiteGrrrl, Saturday, 2 October 2010 02:49 (2 years ago) Permalink

EDB I love that. I would feel proud to have a print of that in my bedroom.

third-strongest mole (corey), Saturday, 2 October 2010 02:52 (2 years ago) Permalink

Thanks! I don't think of it as art because I think its bad, just semantic reasons. What it comes down to it's countless hours of precise doodling.
But I really appreciate the city map comment, since I wasn't going for that, but I love that sort of aesthetic.

Like most of my complete drawings, I'm going to give it away, so if you're in Toronto and want to claim it...

EDB, Saturday, 2 October 2010 15:22 (2 years ago) Permalink

Hours of precise doodling tend to have cooler results than a lot of art imo.

But I'm biased as a doodling fiend.
