still the best thread on ilx

milton parker (Jon L), Monday, 10 October 2005 06:38 (twenty years ago)

what do you do, dean, that you wind up finding all these different artists?

firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 10 October 2005 18:32 (twenty years ago)

i am a painter, but that's a very solitary act and doesn't help me see much daylight. i find out about these folks by reading magazines / websites, going to galleries, hanging out with mr. penguin usa paper, plotting, scheming, etc, etc, etc.

I've seen an ad that looked exactly like that Terry Rodgers painting (minus bare breasts), only it was a photograph for something.

I wish that Delia Brown were as prolific as Rodgers.

Magin Johnson's magical AIDS thrfit store (dr g), Monday, 10 October 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

so then you're in LA too, dean? i think so anyway. anything coming up? doesn't assume vivid astro focus have something that opens... uhh... today? at moca? o i guess i could look... gallerywise though i never know where to go in LA other than, you know, just kinda scampering around chinatown.

firstworldman (firstworldman), Monday, 10 October 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

yeah, i'm a westsider. shameful, i know. don't know too much about the LA shows at the moment. bergamot is poor, but neil farber opens at heller on saturday. rebecca campbell closed in venice on saturday and was great. chinatown was boring except for some oval shaped photos at black dragon (?) linked upthread - i can't remember the artist's name - and a couple of small works in the backroom of acuna hansen. the shore/fisher piece at QED in Culver City is AMAZING and must be seen. don't know much about the other CC galleries. Mr. Penguin can probably give you more info.

Magin Johnson's magical AIDS thrfit store (dr g), Monday, 10 October 2005 20:19 (twenty years ago)

assume vivid astro focus has an installation at the big Ecstasy show at the Geffen. It requires 3-d glasses and is pretty funny.

The show in general is good:

This is why I want to move to LA.

anthony - the book! How goes the book? Do you need us to whip you with nettles to stimulate your skull custard, or chain you to your keyboard with your knees roped together? ILE's services in that direction are very reasonably priced, I hear.

I just don't get a lot out of most photorealism.

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

Well, outside of awe at technique, anyway.

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 01:55 (twenty years ago)

I have, just not recently. And of course, there's plenty of non-photorealism posted anyway.

But, here's a couple...

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

But if I may ask - what attracts you to photorealism?

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

jesus h that second randy ford

Truthfully, I spend most of my time thinking about visual artists who draw comic books.

Jim Woodring

Lynda Barry

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:23 (twenty years ago)

I like photorealism when it has a strong surrealist element (ala David Lynch movies or Gregory Crewdson photographs) - something just a little off in the perspective or colors that alters your perception.

One of my favorites (crap photo, in person the blacks are much richer) -

Magin 'Pedro' Johnson's magical AIDS thrfit store (dr g), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Ugh, I tried to scan a couple of mine and they look *disgusting*. I'll try again tomorrow...

Woodring is probably my first or second favorite living cartoonist. Here's another by him.

walter kranz (walterkranz), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 03:26 (twenty years ago)

The Al Columbia is from one of his Zero Zero pieces, "Amnesia" I think.
