me?

this and that

professional dilettante

only this is the crashed project

 

its in worse shape than in that pic-
however, i m gonna play with it a bit more before i throw it away and make a new one.

i can see it doesn't work, but what do you think went wrong with it?

i mean i see the shape of the ass is non-hanging where it should hang, and the crack severely lacks depth, so that the lower spine doesn't end, but my question is more like where/how you think you went astray with it to put it beyond rescue, and/or when did you decide to toss it?

i like the arms though. good arms. look at them.

the moment i couldnt take bodero out of my head. i dont want it to remind bodero. plus the paint couldnt make it work. perhaps on a fresh canvas, things will flow better.
it was with acrylics at first, then oils.
damn it, i even dreamt about it last night. that the paint cracked.

ah-- botero! i like him. though you're not at all like him. he's more… fantastic, dreamlike. you're into meat.

looking forward to seeing the next version.

oops Botero...sorry.
i used to like him; then i went to an exhibition and saw the paintings live and somehow i didnt like him anymore.

thank you!

i saw botero a million years ago so that i can't remember the year but he blew my mind at first and then got integrated to the rest of the landscape and i still like him, but now only from magazines/books/internet etc.

he used to remind me of gaugin a bit but then he did stuff like this



pretty ballsy to take on velazquez like that, ha ha ha. kill yr idols, yes? (or maybe not. i have a long story about that for another time.)

altered this for Jennthebenn

and awesomeness continues on this page.


i m developing a serious soft spot on

Thanks darling.

Some fine work as always, folks!

hey krastian!


ok did this in the morning in 90mins and i m pleased with it.
the goal was to add color but i m chicken shit.
and of course since then i have done 3 more hand attempts and threw them away, since they were just 5 turds connected to eachother, every time.

 

Hey! :)

its a friend's hand, drew it from a pic he sent me.

Posters we did for our festival.

These are some preliminary sketches for a project I am involved in. My friend Anthony Joseph Lanman created a Kickstarter to fund a CD/LP of his musical compositions, and one of the prizes given to 30 donors who donated a certain amount was to receive an LP of the album with artwork from one of three artists, and I am one of the three.

Those are nice posters A Thousand Threads!

Brilliant work Rob! really like it all. Thanks

I have been stuck in a rut of being completely useless and unproductive. I have barely painted in the last 3 months. I feel like a piece of shit.I have an art exhibition in 2 months but have been sitting on my hands. It has me doubting my self as an artist. I feel like i am lying about being an artist and its all been a sham. The more i think like this the less motivated i become. Help me Dr Phil!

The existential truth of an artist. all ART is lies. don;t worry about it. They are ALL making it up as they go along, even the "greats". (Thanks BTW)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Genteel Death again.

This drawing is called "Drop That Tiny Seed In My Snake-Eye"

Horror movies don't scare me because god is dead

i m working with a miniature..like half my palm..i think i drawing out of my head. and i dont take measures. somehow its correct (the 2nd is), but it must be perfect, so i have to stop being lazy. yeah right..
and all i think, is food. sorry, as always i had to rant.

thank you and thank you for your time.

yeah, smth is surely off. in real life it doesnt look that much, but smth is off.
nose too long or i should have put the eyes lower.
or just measure.

Is that Jim Morrison's bust from his grave? are you the one who stole it?
