Conceptual Artist Profile: Andrew Jones - Shape Sifter

[akuarashi]

both he and his artwork are just lovely to look at ;3

[spikeman316]

Awesome wacom Mod! :D

[BBPunkLP]

I want his imagination D;

[QuickSilverZero1]

You can't deny the awesomeness of the Metroid-Artist!

[SOLACEBOY]

I got that piece. 1:18

[gtamythmaster43]

@Monstergoat66 Ok...

[artisticprodigy1]

His work is undeniable.

[DjDedan]

cool quote: "its beyond drugs... its real"

[cisco6789]

Not only a genius but also a philosopher

[palientologist]

Why are all artists pretentious assholes

[karlboman]

Obviously good at what he does though it doesn't really appeal to me all that much. The pretensious mumbo jumbo gets old quickly, but that's part of all crafts and trades I think.

I very much liked his last comment - "it's beyond drugs, it's real". Precisely!

[gtamythmaster43]

"Modern" art blows piss, and ANYONE who reacts like the top rated comments is a f*cking idiot.

[bubblesofhell]

he looks gay but i like his style

[TimorSceleris]

@bubblesofhell He isn't gay. . . You have no idea how much I wish he was though. lol

[bubblesofhell]

@TimorSceleris are you gay??

[TimorSceleris]

@bubblesofhell Yes I am.

[gtamythmaster43]

@TimorSceleris Well, you have bad taste in men then.

[TimorSceleris]

@gtamythmaster43 I disagree with your statement, however everyone is entitled to their opinion.

[gtamythmaster43]

@TimorSceleris S'okay then.

[bubblesofhell]

@bubblesofhell uh okay then

[Fwiech]

dooooooooooooope

[diezeldom]

hes such a tool

[headlessadi]

Anyone who hates or disrespects Mr. Jones's artwork is either plain fuckin retarded with absolutely no fuckin artistic inclinations whatsoever.... or is fuckin jealous of the man.

Android has revolutionized the digital art industry... and theres a fuckin god damn good reason people in and outside the industry worship him!

Peace to all! Mr Andrew Jones.. you rock! \m/

-Adi

[vicente408]

@headlessadi A person can dislike his artwork for perfectly valid reasons. Nothing is perfect. Disagreeing with your assessment doesn't make someone retarded or unartistic. Rapid zealotry in support of someone is just as bad as when it's against someone.

[saintneko]

@headlessadi haters gotta hate - but even haters give you more pageviews and thus more apparent popularity. So let them hate, they just contribute to Android's mindshare :D

[meantle653]

@headlessadi calm down lol yes he is great

[adelastefanov]

Beautiful video, thank you! I think Andrew is a verry talented artist, his art is genius!

[vomitrelish]

android jones rocks... hail chaos!

[Aurastormx]

i like his work but he's a fag

[salmadys]

What he does is really cool and all... but... "DIVINE INSTRUMENT OF MANIFESTATION AND CREATION"? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!

[shoesfx]

he is amazing

[Jungl3Bunny420]

All you haters have jealousy in your hearts, cant you see that all he is doing is elevating the art. You can be as jaded as you want but what have you done for your art ? Andrew Jones is an extremely talented artist, haters of the modern art movement should really check out festivals like burningman and shambhala before they start spreading the bunkness. Try creating and encouraging for a change that's what art and culture are about building it up not tearing it down

[artisticprodigy1]

I like his work but I think the whole world would agree that traditional art is both more impressive and endearing. I would like to see his work done in acrylic or oil.

[Mygo666]

i'm part of the whole world and i do not agree on your blunt statement... I like conputer artwork way better than acrylic/oil traditional paintings if it's the artist doesn't overdo with the mechanic effects

[jak360degree]

you cant replicate what he does in acrylic, what he does is random spontaneous and in the moment. you cant be random and in the moment with acrylics and oil, you can try, but most 95% of the time it will either be crap, out just fuck no bad. i admire this man for being a revolutionary

[Gabriel5579]

SIC.

Amazing.

Much Love.

[evilagram]

His artwork is amazing, but I really wish that I could strangle him for being so fucking pretentious.

[VileWorld]

:D

Heh, my thoughts exactly, thanks for making my day.

[Kirit3]

"Divine instrument of manifestation and creation"

That's interesting xD.

[mrken001]

Whats pretentious about him? To me pretention means dishonesty. Hes not claiming that his artwork is something that it's not.

[hulksjedi]

Oh my god... shape shifter... I can't believe people buy this crap. Go see a REAL artist people. This is just a "pop artist" for the dorks. YEAH I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU.

[Heatx7]

Umm.. I know your comment is 5 months old but I think I need to speak up. Yeah, I personally don't care for this shape sifter approach to his digital work, but to call him a fake artist is absurd. If you have ever glimpsed at his traditional work such as his sketch book or his real paintings, you would know doubt realize he is a "real" artist.

[trollfar404]

totally he is really skilled without his shapes... he is really great!

[BLueKiNGRoSe]

WOW. MAJOR INSPIRATION!

[teethindarkness]

A most amazing man

[mongolvii]

i agree. he's a decent artist, however its unbelievable how pretentious he is. i have never seen anyone try so hard to start a movement.

[BadGeometry]

This is pretty much how I feel. To say he's not talented is a lie. He is extremely talented, and like OmnipontentO said, his work on Metroid Prime is great. I dig the idea of these live paintings he's doing, but I still think he comes off a little too pretentious for his own good.

That's all I'm saying.

[Vigilandus]

FUCK YEAH JONES, Keep going. Enter Europe too

[GeoffMezzanine]

If any of you critics are brave enough to press your whimpy keys behind computer monitors, you must be brave enough to create works live like Android jones, live without any preparation.

You're all following the archetypical computer loser with nothing better to do than crit the talent you long to have.

He could probably beat you 12 year olds down anyway.

[WilliamPB]

To all you philistines calling him a cunt... these people change culture. You won't.

[OmnipotentO]

love his metroid work

[relaxedgorn]

You dont know at all. He is so amazing and i mean legend coz he pushes digital painting to differend level. Btw this is not his concept art but more of live work (he is painting live with musicians). If you think he cant paint u just dont know his skills.

[awesomcherryblossom]

Oh god, please spell things correctly. I find it hard to take anyone who says coz, Btw, and u instead of you seriously. Just press a few more little keys, thats all it takes, please, God, please, just do it.

[smokey186]

What a pretentious cunt.

[awesomcherryblossom]

Hahahahaahahahaha, oh god. Oh god. I can't stop laughing.

[TheDaves]

thank you.

[Shodan101]

Pretentious wanker.

[zach540]

that's concept art? looks like shit on a screen.

[Fiercedeity02]

You dumb shit, lets see you draw something like Jones. Oh wait... You can't. Because your greatest work in your life involves crayaons and it resides on your refrigerator. Just because you can't draw shit doesn't mean you have to act like a little dickhead to someone who can.

[manateeia]

Do you really think that even the slightest minority of critics actually know how to create something that they criticize?

[Fiercedeity02]

No, I just hate people who diss Jones.

[JuliusGarnet]

that's why we don't see any movie critique segments done by Spielberg, right?

I agree with you. The vast majority don't. And It's always shoving a personal opinion unto the masses.

[carlo88moe]

these amazing innovations will front modern art into something unknown via our technologically advancing culture, something any self-proclaimed avant garde could appreciate and yake interest in

also, this shit fucking rocks there i said it

[driftfunsierra]
