disneyland should be this cool
Also for fun!
I think the sizes of some of the figures will be bigger in relevance to others.. the skull will be larger, the figures on each side will be larger past the horizon line, and the main figure too.

Small spotify playlist of "nice" music I put together. Other spotify users should share their playlists.
I'm worried about Krut, i haven't seen him online! My prayers to all of you, fellas. Fuerza Chile!
I got to start posting more stuff to get more criticisms.. You guys are great. Heres some new stuff. Mostly assignments for school.
Detailed drawing of my old jeans, creative mark making and texture was the goal for this one.
Self portrait using a mirror
Still life of a lamp and sewing machine.. not a big fan of this one
165 tiny self portraits
The assignment was about ecology and the human experience and this is what i came up with, the squirrel bed, haha
This is part of scratch board im working on at the moment about fear, the darkness, and childrens imaginations of what lurks in the dark.
Let my know what you folks think.
I really dig the layout and perspective play with the cowboy showdown setup! class!
yes david
just yes
loved this when i saw it the first time, and the vectors bring back the same feeling
I dunno if it's what you wanna hear, but I actually LOVE it how it is. It's so effective with the flat colour behind it, the figure pops and it just makes it so much more emotional. To me, the picture is already finished and perfect. It's beautiful!
I understand the idea, as this sort of structurally sound bold composition is used quite often. ( even asymetrical compositions we believe are really unique actually have a lot more in common with other pieces than we might think) and I guess I was just thinking that if you were half-assing the idea then you may as well go with a more interesting compositon- but you're not half assing the idea so you have to make the composition work. I believe if the triangle is meant to represent stability, then having the chaos imposed upon it and going into it's edges don't do a good job of visually showing that. Crisp clean lines and having the triangle one flat color would greatly enhance the visual battle between a flat area of color and energetic brush strokes trying to impose themselves upon it; and the visual must go along with what you are trying to say- it is not enough to have an idea, make a piece with that in mind, and think the idea will transmit itself through the artist to the painting to the viewer by magic. Sometimes we are lucky and it happens by accident, but that is often not the case.
Also, you have some "bands" of stronger, less broken color that are coming for the triangle, and I feel it would do good to the piece to try and enhance them. Actually you have a lot of " hinted" stronger shapes in the image that could be brought out. The brush strokes already create the chaos, so use these color shapes to clarify the direction of it's force- which is headed towards the triangle.
I haven't mentioned color in these posts because I don't see anything wrong- or something I think needs/could use improvement with what you have.
I like your stuff heaps, it has so much character! my favourite is the weirdo dinosaur thingymabob!

Preparatory Watercolors for my next painting assignment at school: Take a symbol and make an abstract painting. As if I was going to choose anything else.
I kinda like this one...
This one not soo much.
The final painting probably won't resemble these two very much at all. Only the first one slightly I would guess at this point. I'm simplifying even more. Expect that to show up here in a week or two in WIP form.
still working on coding the site, but here is mine as well... art.DanFessler.com
who?
Ooooh, shankyou m'dears! =)
It's just a link to another page, not the torrent itself, that's fine :)
Yeah. That IRC be the realest. Even though it's a bit quiet, you should join and make it less so. Schools coming again soon. Fuck.
merry humbug yall. love you.
Oh hey, Dorsa. I remember you (though I mainly lurked.)
Welcome back!
beautiful pictures with a beautiful story. and I just got done watching Big Fish, too.
When, upon that sunset eve, I can see the cloudless blue
beneath
is the same when as on that lonely day,
that comes no heart to hold.
No hands to hold,
no texts to bold,
nor hilight in the headlights
of the sparkle in my eyes.
You are that sparkle in my iris where grows a shadow empty:
hollow pupil of my teachings, learn but don't apply.
You are that butterfly I ate last night when I saw you see me from across the room:
not quite present was our greeting, but I saw in you a cloudless sky.
Wings for me to fly upon in that sky in you in metaphor,
for all agents of my temporal corroding are contained;
exhaled before the words can form.
