You'd probably like it, really cool hand-drawn animation (of the flowers, you know, doin' it)... plus lots of other goodness, including the soundtrack.

Re: new art of mine

i cant really explain it through a computer. Its pretty cool to watch. The only tools i use are gravity and my hands. Rarely do i use a brush. On other styles that are similar to that i will, but not on those. I arrange the paint on the canvas in a way with the colors in specific patterns so that they will fall a certain way. I then let them drop at certain angles and various times. Then ill generally repeat the process with more paint in various areas until they begin to blend and form one, and then ill tweak in it ways, add things. Its not really that hard. But you have to have quick hands and understand the colors and how they will move accross the canvas depending on the paint and how much paint is put on. A lot of people think i use toothpicks, but i dont. Ive actually used pennies and dimes a couple times to created some change.

but thats just kind of a general overview. Its a bit more complicated when i actually do it.

The red, blue and green mixtures on the sides look really cool. Nice job.

so its OK then,maybe you should try to put some sence in it,you know,not just a random set of colours with no composition and so,but try to make something that would make us think,it would be super...

Re: new art of mine

You are fucking awesome!

But on http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e66/a788/CIMG2980.jpg I think you should just leave it the way it is. I think adding more might take away, you know?

I also think "create" from your first post is really nice, i like the letters =)

Having said that its all pretty awesome! Quite inspiring too when you said you havent done art and just do it because you enjoy it and when you are bored -- i spend most of the time in lectures every day doodling - just small things and always think im not in any way arty and really couldnt make anything look prettyful like my little scribbles do, if i tried for something bigger.

So thanks. I am now inspired to get bored with a bigger bit of paper =p

piece that i finished this month

stips are paint, while the detailed work within the squares is done with pen. I made it for my brother. Everything within the squares done with the pens are words that either describe him or his passions. Most of them you wont be able to find because i camouflage them, but they're there.

Re: new art of mine

I like the progression of your work that I have seen over the last yearish. This new one is really matured from the old ideas you developed in one earlier works.I'd buy a print of that, the hand silhouettes are fantastic the colors are beautiful. I'd love to stick that on one of my walls.

Re: new art of mine

Impressive detail! It's like if Alex Grey were a graffiti artist, with the intricate names and such! The only drawback is such detail needs to be observed closely to truly appreciate what you've done, and when painting in that style, you can lose perspective on the whole "landscape" of the painting and so it makes it hard to orient the eye...
My humble advice, if you choose to accept it or not is up to you...Find a beginning, a middle, and an end-establish your boundaries and fill them up-lead my eye to where you want it...and tell the story along the way! great stuff, keep it up!
