[cooksterz]

i noticed the plate spin. what a lively and bright piece !

[beaustart]

this is really neat as an artist I can really appreciate the time factor in this, good work!!!

[paisleypower30]

Must have sold already?, I hope you got more than .99 pounds for it!! It's great! I don't think I subbed until January, so I think I had originally missed this one, it's great!

I said that's great twice, think I like it....

[SambaDisaWinner]

wow you are amazing! very gifted

[nicholasandre]

[1ExTERMINATE1]

You produce lovely work and your humble and nice, what can i say?

your an inspiration to us all.

And the painting...well..it is what it is!!!! :) :)

[sonicdefmonkey]

[cheekychen]

[tacittales]

thank u for sharing such videos with us. it's really interesting to watch an artist during his work

[cheekychen]

you're welcome. I'm pleased you enjoy :)

[krazeelocomiststuck]

Paul! I probably already commented on this video, but you are an extremely amazing artist. Seriously I really would like to buy one of your paintings. I would really like to buy this painting most of all. It is a masterpiece. You are incredible. And I seriously would like one of your paintings for myself.

[krazeelocomiststuck]

(prev comment ctd) I don't know how to use Euros. As you can tell I am american. I really would like to see more art from you. Too bad your fundraising will interfere with that?

I believe there is no arguement that you are my favorite person on youtube. I hope that doesnt sound strange or anything, but all of your work is so interesting.

[krazeelocomiststuck]

(and again)

Please continue to do all that you do. And I apologize for the long long comment.

Cheers,Good health,All the best,

Bryan

[cheekychen]

Hey Bryan, No apology necessary mate. I am very flattered indeed. Thank you!

I'm afraid hhartley35 bought the painting.. but I have some sketches from the ballet animation that I was selling for the equivilent of $20 each.. They're obviously not paintings, but hey ho :)

Anyway, thanks for being so kind. All the best buddy.

[krazeelocomiststuck]

Yea I was just lookin at the ebay auction a little while ago. I was scanning it and then i noticed that it ended. I was really gonna bid on it.

I was actually more interested in your paintings, because they are more busy and abstract. I'm not saying that your ballet sketches aren't good. They are actually amazing. I would like something on canvas.

[cheekychen]

fair play.. well i might do another auction when i get to a thousand :) maybe!

[PeteTugby]

Great work paul!! keep it going

All the Best

Pete

[cheekychen]

thanks mate :)

[Nanoo7744]

[cheekychen]

[Kairowyn]

All I can say is WOW! You simply amaze me Paul. Ok, I took a moment...I love how the painting morphed and developed with each new color you added. Your brush strokes really brought this piece to life. I loved the final ink touch. Simply amazing, gorgeous, and awesome! 5*****

[cheekychen]

ah thanks karina.. you're too nice!

(i can't believe them pesky jellyfish! 12 times! damn!)

:))

[xoxJellyFisshxox]

Yeah it was crazy!

I didn't know it was jellyfish season, and there was a swarm of them(since there see through, it was hard to see if you were about to step on one). They really ruined my vacation:P

[cheekychen]

aww.. That sucks! my younger bro got stung real bad in malaysia a few years ago. They're kinda pointless creatures huh!?

[xoxJellyFisshxox]

Yeah they are.

And the after-burn hurts like mad :P

[cheekychen]

thank you renji! Yeah, it kind of does just come into my mind/form on the page once i start..

Thanks for your comment :)

[melindawong88]

Ooohh..very nice..this is what you call "abstract art" right?? and please teach me how to paint!! :D I can only sketch..hehe

[cheekychen]

Thanks melinda! I guess it could be described as abstract art! I'd love to teach you to paint, but really, you just need some brushes and paints, and to give it a go! lol :))

[melindawong88]

Lol..ok I will then! :D

[cheekychen]

awesome!!! :)

[lolzpwn3d]

Very inspiring picture.

What is the name of the song?

[cheekychen]

thank you Ervin... it's in the description :))

[mycam79]

Kewl video and piece of art. Even looked at eBay to see how the bids went. A really good way to sell yourself.

[cheekychen]

Thank you very much, I think I could have promoted the auction more, but hey, it's all a learning curve :) thanks for watching!

[BloodRedPapercut]

Your work is so relaxing to look at...

[cheekychen]

thank you! I'm really glad you think so :))

*look into the light.. not around the light.. into the light..

lol :)

[hedlundman]

That painting was amazing. Would have bought it! I saw it went for 25£ on ebay, i'd give you a lot more for sure :)

[cheekychen]

thanks hedlundman.. I appreciate that.. Had I have known it would have sold for that price I would have kept it for an exhibition I think, but it was an experiment, and it taught me a few things so I can't complain.

I am always accepting commissions, so feel free to email me if you so wish :)

cheers,

Paul

[EdyPegasus]

Nice i should post a video of my art if i could. I have no video camera.. still a nice work. Not the best but good. You had a high point mid way through your work but from my percpective you to it the wrong way from there. Sorry if you take it to heart. Just trying to help. :)

[cheekychen]

hey Edy, of course I don't take it personally.. It's impossible to please everyone as you know. Do you have any more specific feedback? I'm intrested to know more...

Also, I'd love to see your work.. you can buy a cheap webcam for peanuts which is easily good enough to film your work. I say give it a go!

peace

[dogmanishomosexual]

thats worth a million times more cheekychen! Love your art style by the way.

- Red

[cheekychen]

Thanks Red! what can I say?! lol.. really pleased you enjoyed it! and it seems you've already found one of the vids i mentioned in the other comment! lol :))

[AtomicUs5000]

Wow! Very nice. You truly are talented. I'm telling you, our styles are very similar... you will see when I start showing what I normally do.

[cheekychen]

Thanks William, I really look forward to seeing the work you love doing (as I half-remember you describing it as).

Cheers! :)

I removed your response because I presumed you intended it to be a response to my 'calling all musicians' video.. a few people have posted to the wrong video, but no worries :)

[steve2007]

[cheekychen]

[manyonerise]

[omniscientmoon77]

This made me feel soooooo good! Beautiful!

[cheekychen]

Wow... your comment has made me feel good, so I guess it works! lol... thanks moon77!

[cheekychen]

thanks km! real pleased you liked it! drop by my channel anytime! haha.. Have a good week :)

[rocketyrabbit]

Soo cool! To me it kinda looks like a path to somewhere, a bridge or something. A new journey for me to go on.

[cheekychen]

Thanks WocketyWabbit! Your profile info made me chuckle, so I'm gonna have a look at your vids! There's another painting one i did in the responses of this if you like :)

have a good week, ~:P

[fifedjdomo]

id kinda like to know what it is. lol. i see the fetus. and the sun. mountains. but im still kinda unsure. i really like art, and i like your painting a lot. it is actually really nice to look at. the visuals are bright and colourful and it has a few contrasting line types. i like how you changed some of your ideas as you went through it more. good work. bet that took a while to do, painting used to take me ages!

[cheekychen]

thanks fife. I appreciate the comment. I have my own meanings for this painting, but I don't like to say too much as I enjoy discovering what people see. I have however explained a little in the previous comments if you are intrested. The painting took about 7 hours one evening..

Take care,

Paul

[robynls]

Lovely to see this painting develop. Sad the things we do to flatware in the name of art :-)

[cheekychen]

haha, thanks robynls! Your second comment confused me, but I'm guessing you're talking of the plate.. lol. I now eat off my desk, but that's ok :)

[robynls]

I did mean the plate. I have stained so many of mine that my family now insist on plates with patterns so I won't use them as paletes.

[cheekychen]

haha! I paint all the plates so they stop eating off them. It's not what they were intended for! LOL :o}*)

[InternetJen]

That was interesting

[cheekychen]

Thanks for your comments Jen :)

[InternetJen]

No problem, I liked the painting :D

[whiteandfluffy701d]

I love chainging paintings It shows how a persons mind is always moving

[cheekychen]

thanks fluffy! I'm pleased you enjoyed it :)

[Mmyworld]

wow!! Amazzzzing!!

[cheekychen]

thank you so much! :)

[pl0xp00p]

I've seen many artists...but you are AWESOME!

and i love how you do the shading xD

[cheekychen]

thank you so much! :D

[petepete161]

What an awesome video!!!

[cheekychen]

thanks very much! :)

[desiree8602]

wow~ i really liked dat!!!

it'd be nice if you could share what inspired you to do this painting. that'd be cool too~~~ =)

[cheekychen]

thank you very much! I guess it was inspired by themes and emotions more than something solid and physical. I often get inspiration from nature and natural beauty.. and also in hope and peace and ideals like this. I hope this goes a little to answering your question, though i like to leave room for people to find their own personal meaning. So what does it make you think about?

:)

[desiree8602]

I like how u kept changing your painting. It reminded me that life is about change and that I can't be scarred of it. No matter how badly you may have been affected by it in the past, it most likely made you stronger. It encouraged me, and that's why I like it~ Also the way you use color is great. I love your color selection~ =)

[cheekychen]

I think you just put into words the thing that gives me my confidence with the painting.. Since I realised that painting is organic, I realised that a lot of the beauty is in it's creation and also imperfection.. So with this mind-set, I believe it's impossible to go wrong.. you just keep going until you want to stop.

Thankyou very much for your comments :) have a good weekend :)

[Clobberbob55]

You are inspiration, and your work, delightful.

[cheekychen]

thanks bob, i really appreciate your kindness :)

[n8ball37]

surreal. the word bliss definately comes to mind.

[cheekychen]

thank you n8ball! you're very kind :)

[rcalliec]

ok, ok - i admit it! i'm watching it again...it's an addiction (and i don't want to stop)

[cheekychen]

haha, thanks callie! look at it like this, it's better than crack! :)

[rcalliec]

if you say so...ok, you're right - its better than crack

[cheekychen]

well, i meant it's better for your health.. I haven't taken crack, so I can't judge whether it makes you feel better... lol. erm. enough about crack, it's very bad.

peas x

[rcalliec]

lol. you crack me up.  pardon the pun. ok, i'm making a vow here and now, im going off this video cold turkey. i am a little scared of the withdrawls but this is madness. ok, ok. deep breath and here i go.

[cheekychen]

haha, I'll do my best not to reply to your comments to support you in your decision. good luck!

doh

[xoohBABYYx]

holy shit thats amazing..id have to say that might be one of my favorite paintings ever now!

i wish i could buy it =[

[cheekychen]

ah thanks Nikki, you're very kind indeed! thank you so much :)

[ghostwise]

Great video. I liked that you started mixing the paints. I loved the moment (with the spinning palette) where it feels like it's almost in regular time but really you're taking your time.

Also really liked the zoomed in parts at the end. Was that the camcorder zoomed in?

Liked Fourtet song as well. :) Good luck with the auction!

[cheekychen]

Thanks Chris! I'm really glad you liked it :)

You're right, the close up parts were just zoomed in with the cam corder.. it was a bit tricky though because the tripod legs got in the way as I had to move the canvas around quite a bit. lol..

Thanks mate, and you should check out the four tet album 'rounds' it's my fave of theirs and the one that this track comes from :)

Peace!

[ghostwise]

Yes, it must have been tricky to set up the frame just right zoomed. I think the results were well worth the trouble though. :)

I'll keep 'rounds' in mind, Thanks! :)

[Cherilyn89]
