The Pale Blue Dot Experience Part 1

[jakescorpion1]

No previous art traing and it shows. That painting would have never even got a passing grade in my art classes.

did u start with an idea in mind or did u just let the painting flow

[jhartist123]

headcomic, I am an artist. I have had no formal training. I started as soon as I learned to hold a crayon. Today my work is extreme realism. I feel as though I owe it to my canvas or paper for whatever medium. I can use all mediums, to give every square inch my personal attention. I mostly do portraits on commision, some landscapes, but I end up keeping my best work. Why is my work cheap and a painting of nothing done in 20 minuets bring in 1000's

[jhartist123]

headcomic, can you do realism? Do you think you should do well in realism before you start abstract!

[smoothcriminial]

loved the painting the eyes are fine. They give it a speacial characteristic

[sheshola]

headcomic, this is a great demonstration. i actually think the painting could have been finished at any point thoughout the process. it could have been 50 different paintings. very good. i love it.

i tried to go to your blogspot and it said i had to be invited. too bad. give me a heads up if i can get in to see it.

thanks sheshola

i know two of my favourite bands - the red paintings and the dresden dolls - are really into audience participation at their shows, they love stuff like this. you should try and get in touch with them on myspace or something, i think they'd really like your idea.

[headcomic]

Dresden dolls are awesome, and I will check out the other band... Thanks for the advice :)

Your song is interesting, heheh.

Very Cool! Nice to see an artist at work. Love the painting. Music goes well with what you are doing. What type of paints are you using?

[headcomic]

I used regular dick blick painting acyrlics and some really cheap cans of latex acrylic house paints I got at the mistake section of Home Depot.

I tell the classes I work with that the trick to painting or illustrating is making a hundred mistakes and working your hardest to make them look intentional. :) This is by no means actual abstraction, but I am classically a comic book artist and after doing abstraction with my students I did this as a way to blend the two ideas. blah blah blah :)

Very Cool! Love to see an artist at work. When u started out I did not think it would turn it much but it is great.
