leleliz!
Thanks for all the happiness!
Those stained glass styled pieces really do a number on my eyes after
finishing up an 8-10 hour jag...
when i first began painting,mandalas were a point of interest,their intricacy,their style,their subject matter,their sense of space,content,and movement....i guess that curiosity has just evolved into its present state...
Some of the newer works actually are an OLDER style,but with more time invested into it......I flip back and forth between styles a lot... Out of boredom,a calculated move,or a wingin it situation...
a different style can really reinforce or lose an emotion.... I did a whole bunch of Cannibal kings about 50-some pages back,with that kind of liveliness and hard graphic style over an inked background...
Here's some early cannibal kings with the same technique
(except the bleached out parts of the skulls)
without the 2 additional years accrued for the WAR CHANT piece...
i think they got a bit cuter1 :)
and it's weird....some pieces hit it for me
others fall flat in my eyes.....
Ah! the artistic journey.....

Meheadhunter-Oh No! Another drummer! I think i know more drummers than any other band members....you guys breed like cockroaches! :lol: Hanging out with Squid has made me really appreciate the drummer...and watching crazy AL in one of his Bongo Madness states has also made me reflect on similiar inner feelings that accompany the act of painting...More thought driven-less physical? It's a different rhythm inside,but the same excitement and raw intensity fills the spirit....
Thank you so much for throwing such happys my way! :)
and as for the Drummer Possessed...

yessirree! Been using puff paints for longer than i can remember!
and it ain't my Aunt Edna's...it's my Aunt kiki! :lol:
Actually, she kindly gave me a huge bag of em
so i was able to go thru all my old ones and trash em
and actually replenished the color pallette of dem!
Thanks kiki!
Here's some examples of how I've used puff paints to embellish both frames and the painting itself....
and remember....
a varnish over the finished piece will hold in the puff
BUT WAIT TIL IT'S DRY FIRST or it will remain FOREVER TACKY!
TAcky I tell you!
"Night Blooming lotus"
smatterings on the frame and painting...
"Atlantis"
loosely based on designs from the Peruvian Ica Stones....
"Conversation"
I embellished the scales and stars and the mitre on the fellow...
just enough to create a deeper surface excitement!
So there you go!
A fun little tour,some history and a Ramblin session!
Talk to y'all soon!
Nightynight!
