Bojangles Posted January 3, 2008 Author Share Posted January 3, 2008 I just paint stuff. You kids are way too smart for me. Sometimes when I read some of the breakdowns of artists and their works, it all just jumbles together after a sentence or so. Cool flicks on this page though. I love the history.

Joker Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 nice backgrounds..20 years? damn...DC needs a revival on the style side... Um, yeah... I've been seeing the stuff coming out of DC the last few years and while it's not all bad, it's in major need of some inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 joker have you tried using oils?(probably)...I want to see it thick and juicy with those clean wips I have messed with oils in the past and only left one painting out of the trash. I can't remember who I gave it to but I do have a picture of it somewhere. It was in the days (style wise) when I was doing the blob-like stuff... like the 12oz poster. I liked working with oils and think often about trying them again. However, kinda costly to get started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poesia [ ] T Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thats crazy i just found that 12 oz poster you sent me signed. One of the few packages that made it my way. We need to get a trade going again real quick. Im kind of glad i sent stuff to people or it be lost somewhere as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 this was the piece (published in WYWS #1 with you and rust on the cover, yes?) that started my attempts at 'abstract' stuff - although at the time there was obviously no distinct title to for it. i'm sorry. ha. actually, now that i think about it....was there another piece, slightly more 'traditional', i believe outlined in white, that just sort of 'dissintigrated' when it got to the R? like, fully rendered on the JOK side, then just kind of fading out and intentionally uncompleted? Not on the cover of WYWS but on the inside for sure. Yeah, back then there wasn't the moniker "Abstract" to go with what I was doing. I think most just called it wild style. I don't know where the Abstract thing came from. I don't recall the piece you're talking about but that doesn't mean I never did it. I did a lot of goofy shit back then and painted a lot as well. I didn't get photos of everything either. I think I have documentation of about 30% of the paintings I've done over the years. That's just no good...

Joker Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 also, joker failed to mention that the entire book was done with the (i believe) the same 4 colors. all yellows. Fuck... I forgot about that part as well. Mainly because he and I started a second book but it never got past the pencil stage. And I think I remembered the first book as being only pencil, but you're so right... it was in all yellows with black outlines. God damn... that book was so nice. It's painful to think about it.

seeking Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 KOH, i know that piece wasnt on the cover. but it was in the issue i believe. i still have that one someplace. i, like bojangles, dont read into stuff too much. it either confuses or annoys me. i am working my way through the newman book, but its a beast so ts gonna take some time. 5 years so far. ha.

SOAKER Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 we were calling shit "abstract" before wwys came out in the early 90s...I remember this skate board rust and some heads...you were on that was out in the early 90s in DC... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poesia [ ] T Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah sorry seeks and Bojangles i know KOH feels the same way about the babble or Art talk. I just have always been into studying it, due to the fact that i wasnt painting so i just read to keep my mind in the game atleast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 i wasnt saying it a slam at all, just explaining why i wasnt commenting in depthly. ive never had any kind of art training, or schooling so most of that stuff and the references go over my head. its easier just to ignore it. plus, the more i know, the less i enjoy things. i already hate just about everything, ive gotta hold onto what little i have left.

Poesia [ ] T Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah hit me up, except these quick sketches i dont got much. But hit me whatever you think you want we can work something out. One thing ive been noticing is that i can not get a single style down the same im consinstantly inconsistent and that makes me feel good. I just wish i could get some of this down in paint. Joker KOH Seeks can someone break down the sketches ive been doing, i have zero peer feedback i know theres know real foundation for us in outlines but i got at one point take a direction. You guys are so good at discipline I am knowhere near it. /All over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 poesia, That top on is turbo fresh. It's as if you and Joker's styles did it (no homo) and that was born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 who was it on the oontz that used to do some pretty neat digital abstractions? cilone? was that the name? the first sketch reminds me of stuff they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClueTwo Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I just spent the last two hours reading every post in this thread. Not 100% sure why, but it's inspiring to see the non-traditional artwork really getting some heavy applause and praise. I haven't touched a brush in a few years, but I really would like to paint again...soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeking Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 haha. motherfucker used correction tape. awesome. my only feedback is that im constantly surprised by how many different variations you can do of things. its all obviously done by you, but there are still a lot of different 'styles' under the same umbrella. that, and the number of sktches you can bang out. beardo is the same way. give dude 20 minutes and ten pieces of paper, and he'll give you 10 sketches better than anything you've ever done. it's fucking assinine. ha.

enigmatic Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 horrible. this is the same advice I should take myself but... learn how to draw realistically. draw what you see. before working with concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmatic Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 T;5974698']MORE SKETCHES SKETCHES FUCKING SKETCHES THATS ALL I HAVE TIME FOR NOW DAYS poseia these are sick, obviously your just throwing ideas about, but Id love to see these finished. On canvas framed etc. Sort of in the green and yellow style i have seen from you in the past (late 90's? 12oz mag?) That would be awesome. Id buy it.

Poesia [ ] T Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I have yet to find a medium that i can establish the same flow of the pen.

beardo Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 beardo is the same way. give dude 20 minutes and ten pieces of paper, and he'll give you 10 sketches better than anything you've ever done. it's fucking assinine. ha. ha.. please anyhow, you fans of abstract styles can give a holler if you'd like a copy of this little zine i put together. been years in the making and has finally came to fruition.. even has a couple re-worked pages originally slated for that book joker and i were compiling. 8.5x5.5 b/w on decent paper and a nice coverstock. $4 shoot a PM for paypal info or other inquiries. 12oz VIPs are already hip to this and packs hit the mail this friday.
