Hello kiddles!
well, only one finished piece
and a few starters...
which is okay,because it gives y'all an opportunity to see the art
HALFWAY THRU
you have permission to extract whatever secrets you find below!
but first....
ROBB!
thanks! Those BooBen frames can make even my feeble efforts look fine-arty!
Hail to the booframe!
Here's a 2x3 footer chillin in the studio
awaiting Art Stardom....
kiki
Happy Birthday!
Glad that last batch could inspire a whole narrative out of your cranium!
the fact that they evoke stories means that there's life in there!
and that's what every artist should seek....
to create a life and world independent to our own miserable ones! :lol:
Thanks for the story!
Sneaks!
PHAT RAP Mr. Sailor Cap!
Mahalos for the LUV,Bruth...
Bowie!
Much gratitude for the visit!
That cover came at the perfect time...
two weeks back,i took some of my hard-earned art cash to
the Art Supply Warehouse,my favorite place besides the studio...
i hadn't bought any art books in a while
and since sales have been remarkable lately
i bought one! YAY!
it was a Steve Ditko book!
He used to draw the early Spiderman and Dr. Strange for Marvel Comics!
i used to really get into this artist,but never imagined he'd ever get a book!
That paperback cover reminded me of his strange,mystical landscapes...
here's an example....
Thanks Bowana!!!
Damaged brains think alike....
:)
Now onto some ART!
Kona's piece started ....
heard the news....
Kona piece on hold...
i used a burnt umber wash over the light bamboo to give it a lusher feel...
started this 20x24 HUGE piece a few days back..
it's got something to do with the Moais attempting to win the favor
of a huge mountain-sized moai idol....
you can still see the tissue paper stained background
and my water-soluble pencil markings working out the composition
i usually wing these so sometimes i have to play around with the movement,etc.
Tried the tissue paper stain/ink technique on gessoed wood
as an experiment to see if i could use it for bigger paintings
instead of relegating it only to paper...
it's so unfair!
So i jumped off the cliff
and it worked fairly well!
the only accommodations were having to seal it
and having to use acrylic for the blackline...
but here's how it's going so far...
this one is around 2x4 feet...
with no title yet!
That comes later!
So far, it's a pretty brainless piece,not much story
except for the butterflies and volcano...
hmmmmmmm!
Close-ups!
You can see how the ink/tissue paper plus the wood grains
give it a nice/random texture...
like the dappling of light...
Still a long way to go!
the acrylic isn't as fast as the sumi ink pen
cause you got to keep on dippin it!
And,as i've mentioned before..
usually one piece will SHINE out from the others after a weekly Art jag...
here's this week's winner...
"Visit to the Jungle Ruins"
20x14"
ink/tissue paper stain/colored pencil
on Aquarelle watercolor paper
here's some detail of the jungle...
Here's the 3 Moais exploring the remains of some forgotten city...
here's a Moai next to one of the monoliths...
for scale.
more ruins!
stoked how the rocks actually appear to have dimension!
it's a miracle!
and here's one last detail before i pack it up and head for some more Art-making
at le batcave!
Goodnight dear ohana,and thanks for visiting!
