Work in progress. Oils on canvas.

Heh. Yep.


Wouldn't ask an individual of another trade to work for free.

Essential read for any working artist / creative. This is specifically on pitching yet a good reminder and irritating as hell when anyone 'creating' a product for another is lured can into working for free. Pitching, creating concept before the process begins is work too. I have 0 tolerance for any individual exercising their creativity and being lured into the myth of being 'exposure'

For the novice, certainly exposure helps. You can donate work for a fundraiser, a cause. Your work raises funds to assist and you generate attention to your skill. But, if it's becoming constant - and losing sight of boundaries -  Stop. Ask for a trade. You must honor your work. If you don't, they won't.

'DaddyLongLeg'

Playing with a new brand of oils with no plan, I moved the brush and palette knife about to get a feel of their temperament. Put it aside overnight and the following morning I discover a damn spider landed on it, got stuck and died. Well, crap. I peeled off his creepy long legs and rather than throw the canvas out, I decided to finish it.

RIP little dude and thanks for the inspiration.

Hey! Good to see you! I'm posting here in hopes to revive it and hoping the other creatives will return. There are many talented people on this forum. My effort in yanking them from the rafters! HorrorRetro may be busy but always enjoy her photography posts. Coaster is another.

Not hiding, I've been following a few of the other threads. Mostly reading others contributions. (Film, Book threads) 

Lately, I've been using oils which I use turpentine (rather than water) Ahh... The toxins added to my chai tea!

You`re incredible, Chine. Truly.

Thanks! I work like a mad woman and crazy consumed in love with it. While Its my profession and pays bills, I still have that thrill as I did as a little girl coloring all over the place! 

PaperBoy, Cama and more are exceptional artists too. Hoping they pop in and share as well.

NXONEED ... Haven't seen him on here in BG lately, yet we follow one another on Instagram.

In one of my sketchbooks... Quick sketch in gouache paint of Michael Hutchence.

'Shout' Mixed Media on large canvas.

Let it all out!

[Chine]

Let it all out!

Exactly. 3 am and had the music blaring as I churned this baby out. It's a huge painting.



Roland Orzabal of TFF saw this painting and I got an awesome 'WOW' personal reply from him. That was really cool.

It's lovely, Chine. It draws the eye in on so many levels.

I was browsing through some "speed paint" videos I made years ago. Not sure If I have posted them before. I went through a phase where I'd record myself painting, and then speed it up. Thought they came out pretty good considering most were painted using a mouse and not a tablet. I have several more if I can find them all.

You are a most gifted artist sir.  Bravo!

That's a fetching dog tag you've got there, Chine.

Ha. My Sigil. I'm just now seeing this post. Hope you're well.

I'm good.  I was MIA for a while.  But - and I think it was BobGrau who pointed this out, but I'm too lazy to look it up - it's cyclical.   I'm either hardcore lurking only ~or~ a somewhat active poster.

But even if in lurker mode, from now on, I'm trying to make sure I am present to post during George Knapp's "Last Sunday of the Month" broadcast.  Those shows are like a gift.

I hope you're doing well and creating your usual, excellent work.

Here's a recent scratch-pad doodle/idea/seed.  Nothing focused, to be sure, just something for me to maybe work on for real, later on:

Doodles are key! Beautiful sprouts for our masterpiece!  It's lovely. I love the use of that blue. This is touching on logo thread, but I designed a couple of national logos which spawned from my scribbling on a cocktail napkin.

I get the hide/show up. For me, as I have a nice break to putz about and play between painting, I can really give a thread attention. I might drop by to find out a guest (Love Knapp too) or upcoming podcast. Then trying to follow an ongoing thread is tough. Like walking into the middle of a seasom of a TV series you never watch.

Thing that is nice about doodles and sketches is they are free of any duty behind them. It's pure playing. Relaxing too. I wish I still had my doodles in those old phone books when I was a kid.

Remember big clunky phone books? Ha. I doodles in and on them as a kid as Mom was on the phone,

I still doodle if on the phone on scraps of papers on my desk. Those turn out best because a part of my mind is focused on phone discussion and the mind is free to the hand doodling without 'editing' during the doodle.

Here's some recent shit, mostly works in progress. I have a bad habit of taking a pic of a painting before I'm actually done with it.

A poster I drew up for a show we're doing in a couple of weeks. The bulk of my business comes from drawing these things up for bands, shops, whatever, so that they don't have to have posters or ads that look like they were made in editing software. They go straight from the sketchbook to the copy machine.

Cool. I admire artistic talent.  You and Mr. Fidget should talk!

Art and drawing was something I was never good at but I enjoy seeing it.
