Your art (picture thread)

I just used Visio 2003! it is fun but it is supposed to be serious business. some people play minesweeper and solitaire, I bend the clipart over and fuck it.

I used to do that all day! Esp. as a kid; we only had MS word on our family's computer (and solitaire and minesweeper), so I spent an awful lot of time making fake powerpoints and fake brochures and fake newsletters and fake bar graphs. I was making bar graphs of nothing today at work and it made me all nostalgic.

I don't have MS Office on my home compy; I wonder if I could find .eps files of the MS Beans cliparts from somewhere else?

Most of my "art" is undigitized and moldering in a storage unit 200 miles away from me.

As you can see, I haven't made a whole lot of progress as an artist.

(that is a compliment btw)

Cool robots Tom!

I have mainly been making scanner collages recently, I ripped off Goya for this one:

i like that, jel. especially given that, like painting on glass, you have to go the foreground first.

Thought I would see if this works

^^ that's really nice!

thanks!
entitled 'Presence' it's from this year

titled 'Aurora'
oil on linen over panel

^^ that's the kind of thing that because of the texture involved would probably be more conducive to seeing in person

like these

(that was Ledge's)

have to get the image URL - you were linking to the Flickr page

damn their new interface confused me. thx.

Love that police care one, would have that on wall!

sparkle motion, i love those. are you an artist? i mean is that your primary occupation?

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.

BTW Ledge I like your drawing.

where in Oakland? I live in Oakland, and also work at a museum, though only a couple days a month.

Show will be at Oakland Art Gallery/ProArts.

^^ haha, i work there once a week.

Well I guess I'll be seeing you then.

or at least, I'll be seeing your work!

Cool.

I like it. Computer-made?

nintendo ds made (from a photo). then just a little photoshop dust reduction and blur in a couple spots

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 - 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.

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

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...

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

But I'm biased as a doodling fiend.
