Your art (picture thread)

http://www.imagemagician.com/images/r_gillanders/untitled.jpg

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.

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, 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.

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.

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

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

but here's a link to some of my art; i've got some photography and some sketches: http://www.geocities.com/freejeremy/index.html#art

years and years ago i did a painting of the actress parker posey and i gave it to my brother. today he gave it to her. you think she'll get it framed? hahahahaha!

i love parker.

Oh,thats Parker Posey! Hahah shows what I know :D

I LOVE This. This and Marooned have made my week.

So fabulous! And I love the photo, too! The way the white truck prongs out of her shoulders like mutant metal wing stubs.

there was another art thread last week. anyone have a link? i have something to post to it

(and why is it so hard to find posts from last week? i can't remember title and searching for art is pointless)

ILXOR Gallery

I'm surprised my angelfire website is still going!

this is a funny thread

The Parker Posey thing has made my house's July. Everyone is lolling.

Brilliant, brilliant. I can't say it enough.

ok goodbye

that 1st one is great tom

thanks bro!

the last one has potential but I got cut short by shift relief arriving

heyo a real question though, what's a good option for getting a high quality very short print run of something like these? I have the og line art saved off

Oh tombot those are great. How did you make them? They look like a lot of fun to make.

I probably need a clipart package, huh.

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?

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.

cyrus and i made paintings to give to people for christmas. i did the same thing with rufus a few years back.

hundreds of drawings i've done over the past few years. pretty limited appeal i'm sure, but the cumulative effect is kinda cool.

Great stuff, you're pretty consistent! I like the different and increasingly abstract treatments of the same subject.

This is my equivalent, unlike you my approach is entirely figurative

very nice, you're working from some awesome subject matter there. i like the inkwash

This is a painting I have recently made.

tumblr remains. flickr remains. imgur remains. for now. but soon, all image threads will be subsumed into this miserable wasteland, a disgusting pile of garbage.
