Artists' Corner

Don't hurt me.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of forum users who enjoy art; making it or looking at it or listening to it or reading it. I feel like every forum needs an artists' corner. So, I decided to make this topic in order to help other artists or to just look at/listen some cool art/music. I hope you guys can make use of this topic too!

Here's an artist I wanna share with you guys, she goes by the name of ReiTuki and I've admired her work for a long time, I even managed to commission her too! She's awesome, you should check her stuff out.

I don't have any bands I want to pimp out right now, so here is my last.fm. I have a wide range that I like and listen to (or I like to think I do), maybe you'll find stuff you like too?

What you could do in this topic
• Sharing music/poems/stories/photos/pictures you made, for feedback or just to show off.
• Sharing music/poems/stories/photos/pictures you found inspiring/moving and you want others to see/hear it too.
• Talk about technique and sharing tutorials.
• Discuss art/music programs.
• Discuss art museums or music gigs or book releases.
• <Other art related stuff here>

A artist that i've always liked is Tabnir I came across him on in 2010.

I myself I'm a Graphic Designer but I haven't done much art recently, new school and all that such and such.

Artist wise i love almost all the old surrealsts such as delvaux/max ernst/dali/magritte.
Besides them these modern days i like many artist.

For example Amy Sol/ZANG ZI WON/BOO SAVILLE/pff to many to name.In the end i ll always return to the surrealists thats for sure.

Btw nice paintwork there Kitty,wish i could do that with digitale but i miss the touch off wood(i work on wooden panels) + i cant smash and scrath on my screen lol.

But nice really well done work keep it up+btw have you done some more soundfragmentarys???


Myself atm arent dong to well,should be working for a upcomming expo but to make it short i am kinda stuck lol.But as ussual a few days before i have to ahve it all done ill fly trough it.
+been working on some new tracks,when i have some kk versions ill put them here.

This is a link to ooooold site off mine when i did some digital work aswell,more then 6 years ago.
Dont judge me to hard lol was only just begining with photoshop.

www.oreursus.com

And this is a old.also years ago,mini thing i made to put on myspace (was mini album)

This was 1 off a serie for a QR expo last year [IMG]http://i37.tinypic.com/uv3w4.jpg[/IMG]

And this one i love its a digital reproduction of a painting i made,the painting i burned and put it in a urn.
That i made for a group expo about dreams.My wife wasnt happy as she wanted the painting to be hung in the house.

.Btw i do use photoshop in some cases as you can see,but i still dont know how to use it.
Might sound stupid but if i start to think how i have to so it i cant do ****,if i let myself go
with the movement it al works out.

Then again i have months i can make jack cause it doesnt feel right or it jsut gives me the middlefinger,but when it flows i can be gone for a month or 2 in our attick and my wifes fine with that for wich ofc i am greatfull.

Lol if i buy 2 games a month for example ill get hell,yet iff i give out money a tenfold for paint or wooden panelss all is fine .

I can draw stick figures, does that count?

@Duskky: OMG. That artist. Okay, instant bookmarked. O_O
I like this one a lot

@fsol: Ahh, I'm looking at Amy Sol's stuff now, I really like the tones. @_@

I prefer to draw sketches on paper with a biro pen because I like the feeling. The grip of the ink on the paper and that little "tic" sound you get when you lift the pen from it. If digital painting or drawing could have the feeling of drawing on paper I'd be a happy cat.
I haven't done any more soundthingys, I should probably make them when I'm pissed off to see how they'd come out. It'd probably sound more aggro than the one I made previously - I did that original one when I was hyped up and happy. That should be fun to do.

What are you stuck with exactly? Just a general block? Those are a pain...
Ahh! your stuff for the expo(s) reminds me a little of iumazark's work, though they just do drawings. It gives me a similar feeling. I really like it, do you usually go for stories behind your images or are you just going with your feelings? I normally rely on feelings and let them drive the picture, I think it's why I struggle with doing commissions for people - I can't make the connection?

I normally do the best stuff when I feel like poo

I've been using Photoshop for 6 years and I don't know that much about it either. I just use what I know for my work on IMVU/SL. I don't really need filters or anything for that though.
I do when it comes to really bad edits of my photos. I love messing with my face. These are all "ironic" photo edits. Not serious at all.

@KaosPenguin: Show me your stick figures. DO IT.

@firetiger2k: Wuttabuttisthis?

I'm actually a bit of an artist myself when I really put some work into it. I'm a fan of manga and anime, and here is a picture of Naruto that I drew about 5 years ago by hand from looking at a picture by the original artist. I was going to send it in as fan art to Shonen Jump, but I never got around to it.

Another artist that does good Sci-fi art work and others is http://jeffsimpsonkh.deviantart.com/

Here are a few I like by him 2, 3, 4.

pseudo-psychedelic-poems of-psychosis or 4-Pi is a book im working on with the intent of getting published....sort of art rock and metal combination of tones and topics is what i go for. my goal is to get a songwriting gig for this.

if given a topic based within reason id be glad to craft one fresh

@Kitty

Well there are a lot off factors atm(always have been lol) that dont exactly give a stabel life.
I have a hole in my head/long story short/-tumor in forehead leading to operations gone wrong(not cleaned good) giving infected skullbone resulting in wildgrowing skullbone,leading to another operation.

In return i now have (tumor broke open my foreheadskull-metal shovel in head at age 4/tree on head at age 9 blabla lots a funny things gave a already traumatized/feeble skullbone in front) a opening wich they doctors refuse to fill up with a titanium plate.
This because if it goes wrong again they need to lift my skull(already removed all bone behind nose /was closed due to wrong operations/scartissue closed my rooms blaba).

So that makes me feel like crap a lot off the times and i get pretty much every few days f up headaches as when i go out the wind goes straight trough my skin on that place.

So lately its going f up and i cant get into what i want exept music atm

Ill take some pics off some more recent work this week and put it here as well as some poetry.

+ like what ppl put down here.

O btw yup i also draw from feeling, i cant do crap on command ,also cause i never finished art school.
(left art school at 17-in Belgium you can go from age 12,you get some stupid normal classes but its kk.
Got in to many fights with teachers and hated the fact that 99% in art school was there cause they felt like hey nice,just draw a bit and make money.Those ppl usually can do anything on command but htey lack soul in hte work they make)

For me most off my work is simply said a vomitting off myself,all can go good for 2 mnths but then i really need to work and all my innerstuff comes out,so in that regard all my work carries a story.

Be it a selfdestructive reflection/political comment/anger towards society/the visuallisation off the emptynes ect ect.

I personally believe art has a duty to speak to the world and function as a mirror,
Now sadly todays art does this fairly nice but the viewers are no longer shocked at what they see because they bath in it and have chosen it to be part of themselfs .
Thus making art itself empty/greedy/soulles ectect.

Lets jsut say i wanted to be born early 1920s when imho art meant somethign true/real and honest.

Btw here some very personal work haha.
(srry for long stories)

I Like SpoonfishLee on deviantart, he also does speed paints on Youtube

http://fav.me/d3alk01 (IDK How to do that IMG thing..)

Wow, these all look awesome. It makes me want to start checking out the artists some posted and explore from there. Even that simple blue square guy is cool. I know someone who would love that.

As for me, I don't do much myself. if you consider writing original stories art then that is where I stand. I used to sketch random faces in my spare time, nothing indepth or detailed. Eyes and a mouth. Maybe I'll dig one of them up and post them later.

Yo fsol have tried investing in a neoprene face mask (not meant offensively) you can get them different thicknesses but there all breathable + you can get them with cool designs on them any way back to what I was saying it could be worth trying when it cold and or windy rather than just getting another head ache

@Brad no offense taken.

Already was looking at some hatcoat stuff this last winter but they all looked weird.
Atm i ussually run/bicecly around with 2 sometimes 3 beanies pulled down to the middle off my nose.
Wich ofcourse irritates my eye sight.

So in that regard your suggestion is deffenitly worth looking at,lets hope my kids dont mind a masked man bringing them to school .
Most friends they have already feel scared off me so adding a notch might be good(especially since my daughter is talking boys latley)

Btw i aint no boogie man just tall 1.98/bold with a long goatie+ i have to talk very straightforward as our 2boys are authistic so when they have friends around thigns need to be clear .
That and the fact that my handdrawn art in the house consists off strange beigns/skulls doesnt make them at ease.
