schism

gig poster for my homies band i have been updating this blog more often and you all should look at it wylesol.tumblr.com

heres a thing

yeah i'd try to stay away from white highlights except for the brightest brights, like reflections in the eyes

use less colors and consider where youre placing your marks

this also in terms of thinners, i prefer turpenoid, i use it like water. linseed oil is good for cleaning brushes but it makes the paint too... greasy? thats just personal preference though

that bottom one is really cool. have you tried white acrylic ink? i only hear good things, but i havent tried it yet

ive been painting with oils for years and have the most success with windsor newtowns. they arent that expensive either. most of the other brands ive used (esp utrecht) are too thin. WN whites take SO LONG to dry though. good brushes are more important than paint; red sable (real, not synthetic) is one of the best types, its fucking expensive though.

agreed. those paintings are, compositionally, really dynamic but there's a lot of anatomy issues. (not that i'm one to talk, anatomy is my biggest weakness)

cum 2 ma citty, b1tchez

yeah id be into something like that too

guku those are lookin good as well. the top one is definitely the strongest

^thats cool. oil?

sorry those are huge

welcome to the worst part of your life

^those are cool. use of pattern all over is working well this is a small spot illustration for a short story i wrote

i miss new orleans. muffalettas might be the best sandwich ive ever eaten

oh, those are sick. i'm not a huge fan of pure abstraction, so its cool to see the semi-abstracted figure with the 'normal' figures. cant explain why, but i really like the solid triangle too. good shit.

also, here's a screenprint. the quote is an eyedea lyric

just bumpin this thread. an editorial illustration about preventing identity theft.
