Haha, I dabbled in oils in my cold-ass basement a while ago. That stuff did not want to dry in cool temperatures.
I did this in Microsoft paint with a mouse, so please look past how “sketchy” it is.

It is a sketch, so it should look “sketchy”. Do some more. It’s fun.
Thanks everybody again.
Starkdog- I come from the world of AutoCAD, so I make most of my “architectural” elements in AutoCAD and export them as 3DS.
and Phill- my friend uses oils instead of acrylic because of the forgiveness and organic nature of them.
I wish I could make some money doing this stuff! (T-Nation, are you reading this?)

I had a comic a few years ago, I stopped because they wern’t very funny and they took along time.
Here is one of the better ones and a link to the rest, I can only find 25 of them.
Starkdog yeah I do go to UALR, I’ve finished the Major, but I’m sticking around till December for a Digital Graphics Minor.
The TV is made using paths, which are the same as the vectors in Illustrator, except you can make selections based on paths in photoshop. So I “drew” the TV with paths, made selections, and added the effects in a controlled way. So it works out to being basicly masking.
Sup Fellas.
I’ll have to find a way to get my drawings on here, don’t have a scanner, I’m still oldschool I guess.
I draw all the tatoos that I get. Lot of tribal work.
Nooge.
zero… well really heat or no it takes years for them to actually dry. Recently the Museum here in DC had a huge chunk of a Very thick oil painiting that was 20+ years old just laff off. It was still wet inside. They just stuck that bad boy back on. LOL
Mike. Make money?? Come on. your telling me people make money doing this stuff. News to me. LOL Though I’m givin it a go. LOL
Nice comic man. !!!

This is a “self portrate” I did in Illustrator using gradient meshes. I kind of gave up on the background, and that one eye. But overall I still like it.
Shortly there after I did the Velocity Diet and everything was better.
Careful what you wish for, Phill.
I’m still trying to find a couple of my better drawings, but I figured I’d throw up some pics that I’ve taken.
All of these are regularly 8x10 so I’ve had to resize them considerably (which might make a few look blurry, etc.)

Ignore my friend’s nasty finger nails. He’s a hippie.

This one’s my personal favorite.

Last one for now. It’s no where near that grainy in real life.
I’ve got one of a classic Beatle that I’m trying to resize (the SOB is wicked blurry).
And of course I have some cliche flower pics - but, yeah, I’ll save T-Nation from those.

Still doesn’t look as good as the real pic, but I give up.

This one fooled me at first glance.
Nice Atmosphere
Glad to see a photographer show up. The one of the hands is right down my alley as o catching interest and something I might paint. So in short “I LIKE.”
I dont have many of my Photo’s left and all my computer generated schtuff was lost in the Comp crash of 04’. LOL Or I would throw some of those up for your critique as well.
Here’s one for you all. So where do you feel the line is / should be drawn between calling something ART, and not???
Just a quaestion that is in constant flux in the goofy art world. Today it seesm all inclusive. If you call it art it is, seemingly that is all it takes. I go poo on nan ant hill in the name of art and so be it. LOL As opposed to say the day of Michelangelo when sculpture was numero uno, followed by Oil portrait painting then it all went down hill from there.
Is this current state good bad or indifferent to you?
Oh another one. Where do you feel the line should be drawn between art and Craft. This is a huge one with me and some of my works as well. Is say a hand built basket, or pottery ART, or Craft. Are hey on a different level to you.
Sorry just getting a bit nerdy and wanting to see what fellow T-People think on some of the things I am in Constant arguements with fellow Grads, profs, and my students.
Ltr,
Phill

Art has to be something that you enjoy looking at over and over. So this is still relative to the one doing the looking.
Craft is the ability to do something. Art is what you do with it. To use your basket or pottery example, if you can make great baskets or throw awesome pots, that’s a craft. When you take the basket or pot beyond conventional boundries, you’re talking art.
Just my opinions.
Art implies a creativity, while craft to me implies consistancy or perfection. Crafts often start out as art but as soon as you reach the level where you stop thinking about how to create it and just churn out works, you’ve reached craft and are no longer producing art.
Take for example Silk Screening. Art makes the design, Craft makes 1000 shirts out of it.
All of this of course is IMHO.
Nice work Phil!!! I’m impressed!!!
