All Stolen

And the first comment the hating never got to much because I was on an island I never really read these pages back then I never knew who said what, I just did what I did. Im sure a lot of people hated on my stuff back then. Yeah I think when we first had ideas about pushing limits and the envelope. Abstract was just a vehicle, we still represented our ideas of graffiti with some progression. I still think whether looking back at the mid 90's or when transcend was a lot more active. What happened then is still farther ahead in idea and actual thought that takes place when you compose a piece. As a lot of people said it will take years for this to be appreciated. I still believe that, that doesn’t mean that we cant paint traditional type graffiti. I think and i speak for myself that i needed to be grounded and actually remember what it was that i could still do. I have painted some nice letter pieces that are no where near the abstract that I was involved in, but they are still part of the creative process that i will soon break apart and completely destroy to a abstract once again. Its like the child in all of thus that build castles out of sand then destroys them only to rebuild a better product of what was the idea of........ I see the creative process as running parallel to this logic. I think what set transcend apart from everyone else was not that we were painting only abstract or we had niche. It was that we actually had an idea of what we were doing, rather than just acting upon an impulse to paint, we were trying to work through our ideas and progress or regress. The cognitive actual realization that this is what we are doing. I hope now that my life has stabilized for the better that I will continue this process, and hope all others will reflect as i do how much left yet there is still to do.

JOKER JOKER JOKER its good to finally hear your voice again or words atleast. Hope to hear your ideas and critiques and hopefully more importantly works. A true inspiration in my art life. I have been away 3 years also so if i can come back and find inspiration anyone can. I just hope my artwork and technique can catch up as fast as my ideas.

Here is picture i posted in the canvas thread its not on here as a pure abstract as the first canvas has graffiti, but just an expample of using the clear coat. This one is gloss based they also have matte.

its not even art product i dont think, I like using whatever i find at the hardware stores its a poormans version of damar varnish a clear coat it could be in acrylic base or oil. it comes in pints or gallons and is like 8 bucks for a pint. But i like using the random ones that have a bit of tint in it, or ill add some dark stain into the clear. I just experiment just like a painting. It can also go right over acrylic also.

I like the Top one the most as i just think those colors lead to abstract so well. Subtle color shifts in that palette create just enough of an atmosphere to complete the painting. As well as the brushstrokes giving balance to the middle. I also like the red and white where you have left the wood showing. I’m not sure if its your environment but the color palette excluding the striped gray piece are showing some southwestern tones. It isn’t due to the rawhide look, as i wouldn’t see that immediately until you have mentioned it. What struck me most was the subtle color movement transitioning just enough without overpowering the fields of white. I have been painting with a lot of polyurethane that i mix in small amounts of color and completely coat a completed painting, sometimes i have to start all over but it builds surface builds depth and creates layers of transparent paint. I also use wood stain, wood sealer. Whatever is available? It isn’t always perfect, but its perfectly unpredictable.

Here are some pieces i crossed over till somone posts some new work. Sarah Morris Anselm Kiefer Sergej Jensen Damien Hirst

Bojangles i like the composition of those pieces the movement and the color. One thing that is bothering me about them though and it might be personal taste or lack of being personally viewing them. The paint seems a bit bland or dry. I Would like to see a bit more gloss or finished matte as those colors are so vivid. I keep catching myself looking to much at the paint rather than the painting. Really good work though. And Seeking im still digesting those last ones. I really dont know what to say. But good job..

My night Just ate a homemade sandwich with chips and a soda after a b***j*b my girl just came back from school. i know its late but i ate lunch late. About to get a glass of wine cause im wide awake, but i might be immune to liquor as my tolerence is incredible. If its not patron and redbull double it wont touch me. Trying to find an interesting thread was contemplating painting but i have to wake up at 9 am and have a meeting at 10 am. I get addicted and wont stop till its perfectly imperfect. Trying to school my son, as he sketches with a molotov fat tip marker in a montana sketchbook i bought him in spain. He learned how to do a 3d for his 3 letter name. He got my P down but its gonna be years. He is officially a Toy i told him dont grow up so fast, the toy years are irreplaceable. Remembering now when graffiti was fun. He hasnt stop sketching all day. Those were the days..............

YES PLEASE DO SO.

Seeking those are dope, i thought i was the only one that understood the subtleties involved using plates or fileds of color to interpet a sublime feeling. It was such a coincidence when i found my pictures that i printed i was like this is something i would love to paint but it was already there so i just printed it. Actually painting it like you have done is one of the hardest things to capture, alot of people will not understand but i really appreciate those pieces. I have alot of other pieces that i have painted that are real minimal back in 2002-2004 also but lack the time to bring them out. I will post some pictures of a tryptich i just started it was supposed to be a background for a more rendered piece but it came out so randomly good, i am debating keeping it as it is. These are the questions.

They run in the range from 2 1/2 feet to 4 feet.
