Here's another old one of mine. Nothing like waht I'm doing now. It's paint pen on a painted canvas. I had a friend screen print on the fine type, but I did the charater, the design-looking stuff and the "call 14" letters myself with paint pen.

Coffie - i used to collect photo-booth strip photos from people (pictures of random people) but now I tend to take digital photos of people and draw them.

Hey Lasso, its called pointillism. It's been done for a few years now....I'm not the first person to try it, neither is Dills.

 

Saying I'm biting Dills is like saying someone who uses a pencil is biting someone who learned to use a pencil earlier than them.

 

I realize Dills is fairly skilled in pointillism, so I was asking his advice.

Way to bite. You can't go on a site, and admire someone's work and then attempt to emulate their style... Just not cool.

you made a complete ass of ur self and have no idea what art is. Really there's a thing all experimintation. Biting is when you directly steal some ones thing like same hat glasses or earing someone else used! not that u did dots ur a biter ;)

pencils and points

 

hest, nice work, especially the first charcol piece.

 

:yum:

 

i can see where lasso is coming from. developing your own style is commendable and no dillz did not invent pointilism but he seems to have developed a style all his own with it and for someone to try to like his work and then do something similar is kinda fucked up. i liked that bubbley yes piece but i didnt try to do it and then post it. i dont think that trying to do a similar style to someones is equivalent to using the 'pencil biting' you implied. just my opinion.

 

:confused:

I guess I see your point, but the fact remains its just pointillism. Its a technique that I'd like to get better at. Not a style. I used a photograph of a friend of mine, how much creativitity is in there? None. Because I'm just trying to get the technique down.

 

Sorry to drown it in comparisons, but I kinda see it as if you had just started getting itno graffiti, and some guy who's been writing for a decade was painting right next to you. Its like you asking for his advice. Its not you taking his style.

DILLZ / CIPHER thing

 

ok now ... i can see validity to both sides here !!!

 

the dillz, has taken pointillism to a new level by adding a design quality to his backgrounds and having complete layouts with his.

 

cypher, was using dillz as influence and only doing a single drawing using pointillism.

 

NOT THE SAME PEOPLE !!!!!!!! he didnt bite the dillz layout and background .... he only used the same method. thats it ... now lets all hug and make up. no more wasting space on usless chatter.

wowzee

 

props to everyone who is contributing to this thread - it's sick as hell! my stuff does not match up to any of the stuff posted here but i thought i'd post it anyway.

 

so here's my second but first graffiti related canvas (done with acrylic paint). i've posted it before in the "femmes only" thread but didn't really get any useful replies...

 

so here we go again - constructive criticism welcome!
