Post Your Own Artwork

[absyrd]

So... between my "Destiny" thread and the IC for Cherry screenprints (link in sig)... plus knowing HP, Binge, etc all do some great stuff that they send with their keycaps... I decided we should have a thread dedicated to people sharing their art.

I'm a sloppy sketcher and more abstract painter in general, but I dabble with everything. I'll start it off:


"Withstand" 24x24" on wood:




Untitled sketch:

Hey absyrd
Y U SO ABSYRD


Good stuff here. Is "Withstand" done in oil/acrylic?

And I love line drawings so your second piece is awesome. Looks a bit digitized?

Here are some of my work:


Going to print these so if anyone's up for a poster head over to the IC thread.


Illustration for a free art/design magazine here in Singapore


Process sketch of another illustration for the same magazine...

Acrylic.

Alot of my sketches I just photocopy then scan.


And I love both your illustrations. Is that infinity cow something you came up with? Is it an old proverb that you came up with a design for?

That car situation with all those kids... I'm having a panic attack just looking at it.

[hydrospell]

Both of these were done for a magazine called "Kult" here in Singapore. Every issue they have a topic and some funny/strange facts related to the topic, which they then get people to illustrate.

The cow one was - You can lead a cow up stairs but not down

The girls - You can fit 19 girls in a Smart car

It's good fun really. You can spot a #thuglyfe girl in the car cleaning her gun haha

[Halverson]

Very cool guys! I know I've seen some other cool art on this site, hopefully it pops up in here!

Glad you got your dibs ticket, baldy! You are so devoted.


Here is "Grey Streak" - 48" x 36" spraypaint on canvas

[abswyfe]

Hey hydro!

I often like sketches more than final products

Your stuff is great 

  

[noisyturtle]

here's a little painting/drawing I did last summer. nothing too crazy, just experimenting with oil paints for the first time.

Oils are fun and forgiving. I love how you can layer and layer and mix and blend without waiting on drying like most acrylic work (at least for me). So much more depth.

Why'd you only do half? Just as a test to see if you liked the result of just drawing better?

Just something goofy I did one time.

Goofy how? That'd make a great print with many different methods. I'd do a huge linocut of it and you could even layer semi-transparent inks and spin it to make some nutso patterns.

I try and try to do orderly **** like this, and I just obsess too much and it ends up sucking.

Well goofy, in terms of, it's an octopus with a top hat, mustache, and monocle.  I've made small linocuts before. It's a pain in the ass, to me at least.

Yea, I end up obsessing a lot when I try stuff like that. It can be really irritating, since you have an idea in your head, then it just doesn't work out.

I love the new synthetic lino material. It cuts much easier and lasts much longer. People say the prints don't come out as nice, but I'm not one for perfection.

Yep. It never works out for me. My ideas snowball. The best **** I do is at 4am, whacked out on sleeping pills but still can't sleep, and just not giving a crap.

I was never good with watercolors. What is that paper?? Just a paper towel? Does that help get those effects?

I bought some thick watercolor paper to paint that on. To get some of the effects, I used a facial tissue to lift out paint in some areas.

[hydrospell]

  Thanks for the nice words about my work guys 

beehatch how many hours did your portrait take! That's some RSI ****. No wonder you need mechanical keyboards.
Are you familiar with the work of Cameron Moll? I can totally see your portrait as a letterpress print!

Sometimes I get board and work on desktop backgrounds:




This one was playing around with my signature, symmetry, and layers.

I think it is Stewie Lisa. Some "street artist" did a Mona Simpson or something and sold like a million prints of it, iirc.

Not really artwork, but more graphic stuff - but I always scribble first with pen and paper.

[Badwrench]

Some of my art glass work.  I used to be a 3 dimensional design major with an emphasis in glass.  I have a ton of work that I either assisted on or traded for with other artists all over my house.  These ones are a few of my own that I have in my office and in the kitchen cupboard.  Most of my stuff was given as gifts or is now in the possession of my mom that built custom shelves in her kitchen/dining room to house it all.

My brother is a professional glass blower that has done apprenticeships all over the east coast and went to both Corning and Penland. I sort of know what I'm looking at.

How did you get the symmetry in that vase / pen holder? Mold or just hand spun/shaped to perfection? It is VERY nice.

I'm used to seeing stuff more like your tumblers.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh... and this def qualifies as artwork. Digital design is something I have never touched but would love to learn.

[Badwrench]

All my stuff is done by hand.  The only mold used is actually for the tumblers (a piece of pipe) to get the diameter the same.  My ex boss was a student at Pilchuck and I have been lucky enough to assist on a demo with Dante and Paul Desomo at a Glass Art conference several years ago.

Then extra props to you on that vase!

Only name I really know is Cesare Toffolo as my bro has some of his stuff from working with his team.

Lay it flat, then I water the acrylic down a bit and lay it on VERY thick, do some of the movement with toothpicks or pencils to get desired effect, then put a box fan blowing across it at low setting. It goes from standing cms off the top of the canvas down to a nice, thick looking solid color after evap/drying. Did the same thing with my first post, "Withstand".

Took me forever to figure it all out with cheap paints, but so worth it now. I always hated the transparency I was almost forced into with acrylic. Hence, also why I love Montana spray paint; goes on thick, matte finish, amazing colors, and dries instantly.

Its a Valve texture file, so it's basically a texture/skin to be used in cs:go, or anything that uses source engine really.
Actually did this as one of my work sample for an application on studying game design...
