Dr. Dose Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Here's a new one that I'm not too sure about honestly... Set in stone man this is the start to something sweet. just because you don't have lines shooting out everywhere doesn't mean it doesn't have flow. also i might have to steal your staircase idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Brady's Smile Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 BJ, I see a white chicklet on that first one. Also, Im not feeling the staircase. Its a different approach from the stuff I usually see from you; you outlined the shapes this time. It looks like you used a Rusto Flat Black with a New York Thin-- the line width of those caps aren't as thin as grey dots on those fancy cans. Im sure that was a tough job, staircases. Colors are kinda funky too. Im going to post some stuff so you guys can rip on me tenfold in a few days, -T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Here's a new one that I'm not too sure about honestly... Set in stone I think I agree with Dose when he said that this is the start of something nice. However I think there is a long way to go. The arguyle pattern seems a bit hard to deal with because of the lack of similarity in the diamond forms. Yes I know it is an abstraction on that, but sometimes patterns are patterns for a reason. However I like the adition of rigidity to your form that isn't in the auspice of a cityscape. I think what I like most about this one, are the rough strokes of the more drab green on the top and the matte gold tones on the bottom. That is what I see for the progression of your work. Obviously you can flow with a line. A beautiful talent that is. But I want to see that break down. Lose the can a little bit and pick up the brush. Let it be itself and don't smooth it out. That's what I want from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.crooked Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 From the "Getting paid from your graff skills" thread: The white throws off what continuity this whole thing has. If you have access to it. I say go retouch it and take those out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Thanks Tom and Crooked. Always good to hear feedback. Yeah, the stairs were a bit of a change up because I felt my traditional abstract style. Might not be "fun" enough for these people. They are very eclectic to say the least. Here's some awards for Scion I just finished for the most part. Might tweak 'em a lil still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port-A-John Enthusiest Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 After looking at those cars, have you ever thought of doing a 3d piece? I'd love to see waht you'd come up with...anyways, heres a little line i did i call it 'Guitar' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polyethylene Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I also did an abstraction of a guitar/still life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nice one Swampy. My main advice/critique would've been to flare the top part of the "M" out more to the left, wider and farther to balance out that splash. Here's another collabo...

Picky P. Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 that does seem like an odd fit, but hey...that seems to make the world go round. i did another layer with this painting, but don't know how i feel about the end result. anyone? anyone?? bueller???

Stacks Edwards Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ^ i dont like the blue, it takes too much attention away from the composition...just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampthing Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I agree, I would like to see it with nothing but the yellows and reds. I think the squares make it static. Bo the sketch had the top left of the M more blown out but there is a 9 story drop, you just cant see it in the flick. I also like the colab work.

Bojangles Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 I like that. I'd like to see some build up on top of what's there personally. Nothing major. Just some minimal hints of extensions or shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 P.S. Poly, Explain your piece a bit further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polyethylene Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The guitar one? Well for starters it's on 3'x2' canvas and I did it with oil. The flash from my lousy digital camera kind of eviscerated the colors. Other than that, I wanted to explore the simplified shape of the guitar which probably just turned out to be a conceivably lame exploration of cubism on my part. Though in my defense, I'm not art historian and I wasn't approaching it from any revisionist standpoint- I'm just interested in minimal line and color and that's all I meant by doing the painting in that manner. It started off as a traditional six part still life by i ended up simplifying and flattening shapes/colors and annexing planes. I'm really disappointed I haven't been able to get a good photo, particularly in the upper left corner to the middle/right of the piece there's a bunch of little nuances there. Specifically you can see some of the early drawing underneath the grey area next to the raspberry coloring and it added what I thought was a pretty interested depth to the piece... but of course you can't see it. In other news, a new camera casualty Then I was just screwing around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The best way to shoot canvases is by using an external flash and bouncing the light onto the canvas instead of letting the direct light from the flash hit it. If you are using a small point and shoot camera and have access to any version of photoshop you can take the picture using on camera flash. You need to take it at an angle, meaning if the camera was a mirror you shouldn't be able to see yourself in it, stand off to the side, then use photoshop to correct the perspective. Some of the glare will still show up, especially if it has a glossy finish but no big white blown out areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polyethylene Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks for the photo tip, Mercer. Also, to catch my stupid mistake, I meant revivalist, not revisionist, so my apologies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bojangles Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Thanks Poly, I just wanted to hear your explanation of the piece and what your angle on it was. Also, when I shoot my photos, I lay them flat outside and stand straight over them with no flash. Just another approach for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
