This is beautiful work, Po. I love the warm medieval colors and the tin-stamped impressions across the upper third. I'm inclined to purchase the LP just to have your artwork (with the small bonus of hearing those SF concerts).

Did this the other day. I've been really into overt use of texture lately.

Hiya Carpe.

Nice textures.

Where's the tits and dick?

!
 

Carpe, I like the very fine detail on the wings, face and body, and on the rings behind the head and back. I don't know much about art - so by "overt" texture, is that through use of certain materials or is it an implied texture? Either way - very well done.

Hope you good man!

Thanks.


Thanks to the rest of ye too. Tan toned paper adds a whole new feel to things.

We crossed streams lol. Implied texture I guess? I've been filling in a lot of my drawings with a lot of fine line work where it might not make sense to do so necessarily - and by that I mainly mean the body here, rather than just shading it or leaving it monochrome. It's pretty soothing to do too.

Crossing like streams in the night, lol! Thanks for the explanation, Carpe. Your fine line work is really painstakingly detailed - and I can imagine how that could be a soothing process, IF you have the skill (which you obviously do).

Very kind of you, thank you :)

All's well in Planktonia.

When you read about the Bauhaus art movement of the 1920s and 30s,
like a lot of historical events, you hear about the men associated with it -
Kandinsky, Klee, Moholy-Nagy, etc. - while rarely hearing about the women.
I came across this photo with the unfortunate title “Marcel Breuer and His Harem”
and couldn't help but think of the Bush Tetras. Gotta ask: which looks more "no-wave"?
There's a 55-year difference between these photos.

The third girl from the left in the top photo looks like a more punky Elizabeth Fraser :love:

True! tho tbf Liz Fraser did look fairly punk in the early 80's

Oh yes that's true

This isn't my art, but one of my number one inspirations. Takato Yamamoto. Blends beauty with the grotesque SO seamlessly, and without being loud about it.

This, however, is my art - and my very pathetic attempt to mirror his style. I need to get better markers because I only have primary colors right now, and it completely stripped away a lot of the detail work I had here. You can't even see it.
Surprisingly though this is the one piece on my Redbubble store that has ever made a sale lol. I disagree and think I have much better artwork.

I think you did a great job attempting that style. A lot of times it's the tools used that help create the finished result. I wouldn't attempt playing Vai without a good tremolo kinda thing.

True words. Definitely saw a difference when I switched from ballpoint pens to microns too. And when you see improvement, it drives even further improvement.

Cheers to that :beer:

Nicely done Carpe. I wish I had some creative skills. My sister got them all. She was great at doing my art homework in school. I helped her with math. That was some good sibling teamwork.

Lol that's a pretty good system to have. My brother and I were in multiple classes together and always competing.

Competing eh? There was no competition between the two of us, at least not at school. She was all about the visual arts. I still can't draw a straight line, but I was good with most of the other school subjects.

My brother and I are too similar. We're only one year apart, we were both in the top percentile academically, and we both have an interest in the arts. It's funny because when we were younger he was stronger in math, and I was stronger in English. Now, as adults, his career is very English/speech driven and mine is very Math/logics driven. Maybe that competition drove us to excel in our weaknesses.

That's entirely possible. I never had a rivalry with my sister, who is two years younger than me.

My sister used to paint up a storm. I'm not sure she has time to do it anymore, which is a shame. She had quite the talent. I think she even sold some in high school.

Most of the women in my family have an arts inclination. My aunt is a graphic designer. As a kid, I remember seeing her paint all kinds of things. My favourite piece of hers is this triptych she did of a coke can, of all things.

It's hard to keep hobbies alive as life trudges forward sometimes.

Most definitely. I cut out two sports (curling & tennis) from my life when my kids were born. At the time, I actually needed a break from them. I miss them now.

Thinking of redoing this but adding more rocket references. Like, literal rocket parts.

Shout at the devil!!!!! I see pentagrams, I play the Crue.

It's so edgelordy of me but I do find them visually striking lol

They certainly grab attention. Well done!

A painting I did for an irish ambient album. It is depicting a scene from Irish mytholoy, the death of Ferdiad. Cu Chulainn kills his friend in battle and holds him as he dies.

That's really gorgeous! Dig the stained glass look of it.

thank you!

Misleading title and unprofessional, biased journalism in true Daily Mail fashion. Not that I'm in favour of this little stunt.

Another one from Irish mythology.

Absolutely love this. All your work is great but this is my favourite so far

I gotta say, that is really plush looking. For lack of a better word. So many layers and levels the more you look into it.
