SURREAL ARTWORK from sketches to finished canvas painting

I painted this surreal sci-fi / fantasy picture on canvas with acrylics for my girlfriend. This video shows the various stages of creating the piece from blank canvas to finished artwork. It took quite a while to do as I've only painted one other picture in the last fifteeen years. However, I think it's the best picture I've ever done. I also made the accompanying music a few years back on Music 2000 of all things, lol.

That's great. But I'm curious, you analyse films, you analys other parts of the media, you make independent films with your friends, and you apprently paint. So what do you actually do for a living? Do you earn any money on these things?

@FilmMasterKubrick

I earn part of my income from the sale of DVDs of my various films. I also work part time in social care and do bits of paid work relating to the different activities you mentioned. I really should concentrate more on increasing my income generally as there's an audience out there for these vids, but finances don't allow me to do it full time.

How long did this take you from drawing up to final product??

[robag88]

@Anything2DoWithFilm I was working on it for about ten hours a week for at least three months. I love painting, but it just takes too long.

What fun! Thanx 4 the experience, Rob. Do you paint all the time, or is it just one process for channelling your active curiosity?

[robag88]

I very rarely paint these days. It's a very slow form of expression. Film making is where my efforts go now :)

Is there anything Rob isnt good at? I bet hes also a proffesional soccer player and scientist as his part time job.

Amazing painting. Love the way you combine different moods within one setting. It sort of reminds me of Alex Greys art, specifically the album artwork for Tools "Lateralus" album.

did you see the wee moon man?

[Poleschs]

Geez, that was fantastic. You should really consider to make some paintings related to films, I know people who would pay a thousand dollars for a Stanley Kubrick portrait.
